TOWN and BOROUGH' of SHAFTS BURY
THIS ancient town has received a variety of
names from our hiftorians and records. In
Britifh it is called Caer-Palladur, and Caer-
Septon : I n Saxon Sceprefbypi^, or Sceapreybypij; by-
Bede, Matthew of Weftminfter, and Simeon Dunel-
menfis, Schaftejbury ; by Brompton, Schaftebyry ; by
Knighton, Schaftijbury, by Ethelred, abbot of RieVal,
Sceftebyrig ; by Florence of Worcefter, Scaftejbyrig ;
and by Henry of Huntingdon, Schaftejbirh. In
Domefday Book, Sceptcfberie ; in other records, Schef-
ion, Shaftbiria , Schcftejburia, See. Sceptonia, Septonia ,
and Bul'gus Sctncli Edwardi, from which laft it is
Rlfo called fometimes Edwardjlow. By Leland a,
Sophotiia, aild Urbs Sophonienfis . The modern name,
Sbajion , is an abbreviation of Shaftfbury. The
fuppofed Britifh. names, Caef Palladur , or Palledour,
feem to be meet' invention, alluding to a temple of
Pall as, which fome have placed here, though this
deity was unknown to the ancient Britons. Drayton
makes Palladouf the name of the hit!, not of the
town b :
And boaft my birth from great Cadwallader,
From old Caer-Septon, in Mount-Pallador.
Paladr , in Welch, fignifies the ftaff of a fpear, or
the fhaft of a pillar ; and Shafijbury is derived from
Sceapr,' Sbgitla, Cu/pis, i. e. as fame explain it, the
fpire, dt fteeple Of the abbey, which the Anglo-
Saxons' filled by that name, and Bupjh, a town.
But as it is highly, probable that this town had its
exiftencO,- . and nearly the fame name, before the time
of king Alfred, When it is much to be doubted whe¬
ther the Saxons built with (lone, or under flood the
art of eretting lofty fpires, it could not take its name
from a fpire that did not then Oxifl. Sceapr, in
Saxon', fignifies alfo' the point, or end of a hill, or
a promontory. It is therefore more natural and pro¬
bable to confider the word Shaft i as implying a ho-

rizontal projection, rather than a fpire or perpendi¬
cular height. What favours this conjeifture is, that
weft of th'is town,' the plain, now called Cajlle Green,
ends in a promontory;, and here,' tradition fays, the
ancient town flood. It received the name of Eurgus
Sanfti Edzbardi, ancf Edzvnrd-Stozu, from the remains
of that prince being depohied in the abbey.
Fabulous hiftory attributes a very high' antiquity
to' this town. Some Wijl have Rhridubrafnrs, of Ci-
cuber, king of the Britons,' who flourifhed 940'
years before Chrift, to have built Palladur, of Cacr-
Septo'11, wherein he founded three temples, and
placed in them Hardens : and that where the abbey
was afterwards built, flood, in Pagan times, a temple
of Pallas. Hollingfhead fays c, it was built by Lud,'
or Ludhurdibras, fon of Leil, eighth king of the
Britons from Brute, who began to re:gn A'. M.
3046, and reigned twenty-nine years. Brompton
lays it was btiilt by Caffibelan, a Bfitifli king, Mag-
nee JinoJitatis ertit civitcts d.
It is celebrated by our hiftorians, for the pro¬
phecy of one Aquila, concerning the change of
the Britifh government.' Some think this was aii
eagle, called' in' Latin aquila ; others, that it was a,
man of that name, who foretold that the govern¬
ment of Britain, after having been in' Saxon and
Norman hand's, Ih'ould return at length to the an¬
cient Britons e. In a note to the verfes before
quoted from Drayton, it is faid, that at the build¬
ing of Caer-Sep.ton, an eagle, or rather one named
Aquila, prop'hefied of the recovery of tlm ifle by
the Britons, bringing with them the bone's uf C In¬
wall ader from Home, where he died.
Thefe fabulous Recounts may be a' prefiifnptioa
of high antiquity, but carfy no Certainty or infor¬
mation in them. Camden r fays, iC It was undoubtedly
tf built by Alfred for Malmfbury the hiftorian has
u told us, that there was an ancient ftone, in his time,

Thofe who favour the opinion (which is the mod
probable) of its being more ancient than the time of
Alfred, will have the word fecit to fignify that he
only enlarged and repaired it, and by granting it new
privileges, made it flourifh : for, in the time of Alfer,
bilhop of Sherborn, who died 910, this town con-
iitfed of one ftreet *.
It mull be obferved, that about the year 880, Al¬
fred was deeply engaged in the wars with the Danes,
whom he did not entirely fubdue till 885, from
whence to 892, he had leifure to cultivate the arts
of peace, in which he excelled not only all his pre-
decelfors, kings of England, but all cotemporary
princes. He rebuilt many towns and monafteries that
had been demolilhed by the Danes, founded feveral
religions houfes, and fortified many towns and caftles;
in order to which he fent for workmen from abroad,
and gave great encouragement to artificers and per-
fons of Ihill in all arts and fciences. In this period
the rebuilding of Shaflon is to be fixed with moft
probability. In 892 the wars broke out again,
and continued, with little interruption, during the
remainder of his reign, which ended with his life,
A. D. 901, having continued forty years.
This town is fituated in the northern extremity of
the county, on the borders of Wiltfhire, fixteen
miles N. E. from Sherborn, and ten N. from Blan-
ford-Forum, on the great road from London to Corn¬
wall, 103 mcafured, and 88 computed miles from
London, in the latitude of 51 d. 4 m. according to
Adams ; 51 d. 6 m. according to Salmon ; in 2 d.
8 m. well longitude, according to Adams ; 2 d. 20 m.
according to Salmon •, and extends, according to
Ogiiby, near four furlongs E. and W. and as much
N. and S. It Hands on a very high hill, difficult of
accefs, except on the E. On the S. and W. you
have a very extenfive profpeft over the counties of
Dorfet, Somerfet, and Wilts. When viewed from
the louth it appears in form of a bow, St. James’s
pariih lying in a vale on the S. fide of the hill. The
limits oft, .the town extend only to u4 Leers end lanes ;
but fame part of the pariih of Sj. James extends
into the adjacent country.
The air is pure and, healthy, bur the high fitut-
tier makes it cold and bleak. The Iv.iiltlmgs are
generally of ft one* dug. out of the hill ■ but unlefs
illy and near the Centre olj the town, and in IJym-
port-flreet, mean and indifferent, nor) are the (Meets
regular. Here are about 3 20 houfes, and i6eo fouls.
The foil is fandy, bin the town is furrounded by a fer¬
tile country. On the north of it lies the fore ft of
Gillingham : on the N. S.- find W. the vaje of Blake-
more, a deep country, full of paflure, yielding cattle
and woqd ; and on the. E. N, E, and S. a high
champaign couut.ry* abounding with flieep and corn.
Here were anciently ii churches :
1. The conventual church of St. Mary and St.

All thefe occur in the Sarum Regifters of Insti¬
tution.. In the valor, 1291, we find only -two, viz.
the reftories [ecclefia] of St. James and St. Rowald ;
the reft, I fuppofe, were not rated propter exilitate,,:.
In the valor, 1534, thefe fix are mentioned :
St. Martin.
St. Peter.
St.- Trinity.
Leland mentions but four pariih churches, pof-
fijbly becaufe two of them are not entirely in the
borough. At prefent they are properly reduced to
three, which, being fmall, and the towers lpvv, are
no great ornaments to the town at a diftance.
Formerly there were many more churches in towns
than now, and more than the number of .the inhabi¬
tants required. The charge of keeping them in re¬
pair being great, the parifhioncrs neglccfed them
till they became fo ruinous, even before the Refor¬
mation, that they were unable to repair or rebuild
them. Their poverty was the true caufe of their
decay ; for, even in their fiotirilhing ftate, the bene¬
fice was fo poor, that they were excufed in all taxa¬
tions, and would not afford competent maintainence
for an incumbent ; and, being deferted, were united
to ieveral parilhes. Some were of lefs value than
the mean {Upends of vicarages, which had been ge¬
nerally advanced to five marks per annum. The
profits of them arofe, not from tythes and glebe,
which were inconfiderablc, but chiefiy from offerings
and oblations, ariling from maffes and prayers for
the dead : but even thefe were many times infuffi-
cient ; and when there was a monaftcry in any town,
all perfons were fond of being buried in the conven¬
tual church, or in the cemetery, which, in feme
places, was the common burial place of the whole

to the great advantage of thofe houfes. But at the
Reformation, when thele were abolifhed, many fmall
churches, which had fupported themfelves chiefly by
thele means, were deprived of them, and became
neglected and del'ecrated.

39 H. VI.
Goldhill, Gold-Cliff, ; or Chipping-Cliff, in the pa¬
rifh of St. Peter, faid in a court-roll, 16, 20 E. IV,
and 20 E. IVI, to be oppofite Blind-Houfe, and the
wall of the abbey. It is probably called Chipping-
Cliff from the market for cattle being held there.
Haliwel, is mentioned in a roll of court-leet
21 E. IV. This may only be a well in Leighton,
which fupplies part of the town with water, and is
but a little way from the high-road. It is commonly
called Holywell.
Holy-Rood Mead, is faid in a court roll, 29
H. VI, and 12 E. IV, to be near Garfton and By-
tellefmore.
Kingsettle, and Pyle-Cross are mentioned as
near S ha (Ion, in the perambulation of Gillingham-
Fore ft.
Platellys-Place, mentioned in Kalend. Muni¬
ment.
Sadlers-Place. Oliver , fon of Oliver Serving-
ton, held, at his death, 2 s. rent, iffuing yearly out
of a burgage called Sadlers-Place in Shafton. He
alfo held the manor of Magefton, of John Dynham,
kt. by knights fervice ; David his brother and heir
Wyrtenev, or Wyrtonchy , mentioned in the Ka¬
lend. Muniment.
In an old map of Shafton, drawn 161 3, not long
ago in the pofteflion of Mrs. Marks of Salisbury,
Mr. Brife’s near the Butter-Crofs , Mr. Hurman’s on
Tout-Hill, Bedbury, in Love-Lane, and Mr. Matthews’s,
oppofite St. Laurence’s church, were very large an¬
tique houfes ; as were alfo thefe inns, viz. the Lamb,
the Angel, the Swan, and the George, which were
no doubt formerly built for the reception of pil¬
grims.
Here is fcarce any kind of manufacture carried on,
but a well-frequented market is held on Saturdays.
The fairs are held Nov. 11th, and June 24th; the
latter of which feems to be the remains of a much larger
one, which, as the Kalend. Muniment, lafted from the
eve of the Tranflation of St. Edward to the Feaft of
St. Peter and Paul, i. e. from June 20 to 29. 12 R. II.
a court of pie-powder was held for the fair of St.
Edward, which began on the morrow of the Nativity
of St. John Baptift, but was held only for four days.
But 27 E. III. and 14 H. VII. the pleas of that court,
then held within the gates of the abbey, lafted from
the Eve of the feaft, beforementioned, to the hour
ef the vefpers of St. Peter and Paul inclufive.
On the fouth fide of the town, near which for¬
merly ftood the abbey and the church, was a park
belonging to the abbey, which ftill retains the name
of Park-Hill. At the E. end yet remains part of
the wall that inclofcd it, which, next the borough,
is very ftrong and high, and embattled and fupported
by very large buttreffcs : but lower down, near the
parifh of St. James, little more than the ruins of it
are extant. This lies in the borough. Here was
another park, called the Out-Park , near the water¬
works, below the hill on the N. W. containing too
acres. The marks of fifti-ponds are ftill viable
in it.
Matthew Davys, of Chickfgrove, in the parifh of
Tifbury, c. Wilts, Was educated at the Middle-
Temple, and member for Whitchurch, c. Plants, in
the parliament that began 3 Nov. 1640, but with
other eminent lawyers retired to the king at Oxford,
and afterwards was obliged to compound, and pay
for his eftate 300 1. About the middle part of his
life he fettled here, and dying 1678, set. 83, was lur¬
ried in the chancel of Tilbury, as was his wife Anne
(daughter of Edward Mervin, of Fonthill, c. Wilts,
efq.), who died 1657. Anne, their daughter, mar¬
ried William Bowles, and died befbre her hufband,
aged 90, having been married near feventy years.
William Bowles, efq. was demi at Magdalen Col¬
lege, Oxford, whence he was ejeCled. He' went into
the king’s army, was father of a numerous family,
and many years in the commiftion of the peace. He
died 1717, mt. 93. The crefcent in the arms of this
family is faid to be an augmentation to one of his
anceftors, Rowland Bowles, for his gallant behaviour
againft the Turks, at the fiege of Gran, under fir
Thomas Arundel, 1595.
His eldeft fon, John Bowles, efq. was deputy re¬
corder to fir Plenry Butler, and with him defied
member here by the corporation only ; and fo re¬
turned, and fucceeded him as recorder, 1685.
John Davys, M. A. redded here many years,
after he refigned his living of Caftle-Afhby, c. North
ampton. Pie was an excellent fcholar, an eminent
tutor in the univerfity, and an admired preacher.
He was well fkilled in the art of decyphering, on
which art he publifhed an eflay ; Clarendon and
Whitlock compared ; and fome anonymous fugitive
pieces. He feems rather to have chofcn to. aflift
others, than appear in public himfelL Pie left this

Not long after the commencement of this work, as
he had been my tutor in the univerfity, I waited
upon him, and fpent three or four days with him
here, and found him as communicative as he was
knowing. Pie carried me over the town, and pointed
out all the remains of antiquity, and examined the
corporation cheft, which contained many curious re¬
cords relating ta( the manor, borough, and abby ;
and, in a fubfequent correfpondence, fupplied me
with feveral valuable materials, concerning the an¬
cient and prefent flare of this town.

By an aft palled 26 H. VIIl. this town was made
the fee of a fuffragan bifhop to the bilhop of Sarum.
This aft was repealed 1 and 2 Phil, and Mary, but
revived 1 Eliz. 30 H. VIII. John Bradley, S. T. B.
abbot of Milton, and William . S. T. B. were
prefented to the king for his nomination. Bradley
was nominated bilhop, and the archbifhop required
to proceed to confecration. He was the firft and la ft
fuffragan here k.
This place had the honour to give the title of earl
to Anthony Alhley Cooper, baron Afhley, of Win-
born St. Giles, created earl of Shaftfbury 23 April,
1672 ; which honour is now enjoyed by his defen¬
dant, Anthony earl of Shaftfbury.
To pafs over the fabulous accounts in the Britifh
age, which have been before-mentioned, we find no
mention of this town under the Romans, nor are there
any marks or traces of thofe people to be found here ;
fo that Ur. Holland, who, in his additions to Camden’s
account of Dorfet, fays, he had heard, that in the weft
end of the old chapel of St. John flood a Roman in-
fcription reverted mult have been mifinformed. It
is certain, that in the Saxon age it became a place
of great note, on account of its monaftery, and the
tranflation of the body of Sr. Edward hither. King
Athelftan fixed here two mints, which in the time of
Edward the Confeffor were increafed to three h In
this town king Canutus ended his days, 1035, 2 id.
Nov. and was buried in the old monaftery at Win-
cheiter. In lucceeding ages we find hardly any re¬
markable tranfaftion here.
John Peckham, archbifhop of Canterbury, between
1278 and 1294, excommunicated fir Ofbert Gifford,
lent, for Healing two nuns out of the nunnery of
Wilton, and abfolved him on thefe conditions : that
he fhould never after come into a nunnery, or into
ihe company of nuns : that he fhould, for three Sun¬
days together, be whipped in his parifh church of
Wilton, and as many times in the market and church
of Shaftfbury ; and faft a certain number of months,
and not wear a fiiirt for three years ; and not take
upon him the habit or title of a knight, but wear
apparel of a ruffet colour, till he had ferved three
years in the Holy Land m. In a warrant dated at
Windfor, 1313, direfted to the flieriff, it is faid the
king allowed 20 s. a week for the maintenance of
Robert Bruce’s wife, who was a prifoner at Shaflon,
probably in the nunnery, from the beginning of this
reign, till July 1314, as appears by feveral orders
to remove her from one prifon to another ; when fhe
was brought before the king at York, probably to
be reflored to her hufband, there being no mention
of her afterward n.
1 3 Car. I. 1637, an order of feflions was made for
taxing* Shaflon divifion, and other divifions of the
county, for the relief of the poor here in time of the
plague. In 1644, Waller retired hither from Bland -
ford, whence he was beaten °. The fame year,
Oft. 3, intelligence came, that lately, in and about
Shaflon, 600 Swedes, Germans, French, and Wal-
lons, under Balfour and Middleton, much oppreffed
the country, and raifed on fome 10 s. 40 s. 3 1. a day
for their maintenance. Some were fined 300 1. fome
ioool. and if the money was not prefently paid,
they were plundered and made prifoners. All the
fat cattle were driven into Lyme, Pool, and Ware-
ham ; but the king’s approach drove them away L
In 1645, Waller advancing into the Weft, quartered
about this town and Gillingham *, but his quarters
were beaten up by a party of lord Goring’s, who
lay before Taunton, twice in lefs than a week, and
leffened his numbers near iooo/i.
In Domefdav Book We have this account of the
j _
town. In Bor go Scepiejberic, T. R. E. were 104
houfes in the king’s demefne. This vill gelded for
20 hides, viz. two marks of filver to the king’s huf-
carles. Here were three hunters, each of which
paid one mark of filver, and 20 s. when money was
coined. Here are now 66 houfes, 38 having been
deflroyed, from the time of Hugh the flieriff to the
prefent. In that part of the town belonging to the
abbefs, T. R. E. were 158 houfes, now but inr
47 being deilroyed. She had here 1 51 burgeffes, 20
empty dwelling-houfes, and one garden, val. 63 s.
The Manor feems, by the furvey in Domcfday
Book, to have been very anciently divided into two
moieties, whereof one belonged to the king, or his
grantees or leffees ; the other to the abbefs ; and fo
continued to the diffolution, when they were united.
Mention is made in the court-rolls of the king’s fee,
and the abbefs’s fee ; which lall had a bailiff and
collector, as appears from their computus’s, t. E. IV.
and H. VII. 31 E. I. the pleas and perquifites of
court, which yet belonged to the crown, hi this vill,
value 12 1. were granted to queen Margaret , in
part of her dower [ dotalitium ] in recompence of fome;
other lands granted her 27 E. I. after regranted to
others. Mr. Willis r fays, that 1 E. 111. Edmund
Plantagenet, earl of Kent , fon of king Edward I.
and his heirs, had a grant of this manor. John, his
younger fon, heir, to his elder brother Edward, dying
without ifl'ue, 26 E. III. it probably reverted to the
crown. But Dugdale s fays, it was a place in De-
vonfhire, called Shejlebeare , or Shaftebere , now7 Sbeb-
bear, which in fome records is mifiaken for Shaftf¬
bury ; nor does it appear from any other records that
this family had ever any concern here.
23 E. III. Margaret Bettejhorn , at her death, held
16 s. yearly rent in this vill, together with the pro¬
fits of a moiety of the toll of the inheritance of John
de Burgo, a minor in the king’s cuflody. John her
fon and heir, 20 years old h 16 R. II. the abbefs
had a grant from the king of the farm of the vill,
val. 12 1. and the profits of the courts, See. 22 R. II.
. Bettefhorn held the premifes mentioned in the
record 23 E. III. 6 H. VI. John Berkeley, chev.
held, by the law of England, after the death of
Elizabeth his wife, a moiety of 33 s. xod. yearly,
ilfuing out of ten burgages in this borough ; a moiety
of 33 s. 4d. yearly rent, ilfuing out of the lhambles
[de fcabell. ] here : a moiety of 23 s. rent ilfuing
yearly out of an ancient cullom, called Stodegawel ,

rent of 2 s. called Brevingavoyl, here : a moiety of
an yearly rent of 1 1 s. called EolJ'eld, here : a moiety
of certain amerciaments, ilfues, profits, &c. happen¬
ing here, concerning oxen and cattle, called wayfsr

divers prifoners. In the computus of the faid John
Whitenow for a year to Mich. 36 H. VI, the 16th

pefchal, he charges himfelf with the receipt of 33 s.

king’s court, 33 s. 4 c!. for this year, and 8 d. for
parchment ; whereof fir William Berkeley’s part for
the Ripend was 16 s. 8 d. and for parchment 4 d.
38 H. VI. Maurice Berkeley [or de Gaunt, from
the place of his nativity], kt. of BeverRoUe, held
at his death, the moieties, &c. before-mentioned;
Maurice Berkley, of Bettelhorne, his fon and heir,
aged 26 c. The computus of Thomas Bartelmew, the

37 II. VI. William Carent, fenefchall ; and the com¬
putus of John Botyler, wever, the king’s bailiff, ir
and 12 E. IV, contain the fame articles as the com¬
putus of Whitenow ; only in the laR, a moiety of
the whole rent of affize of the ferm of Chriftmas
is faid to belong to M. Berkeley. 1 E. IV. at a court-
leet the abbefs was prefented for fullering the pil¬
lory on Cornhill to decay. The computus of Rich.
Rede, deputy of Thomas Peris, the king’s bailiff

the year, ending at Michaelmas, 12 H. VII, the fifth
year of Alice Gibbes ; and that of Richard Rede,
deputy of William Gilbert, prior of Bruton, the
king’s bailiff for the year, ending at Michaelmas, 13
Hi VII, the firff year of Margery Twyniho 4, con¬
tain all the fame articles, only the moiety aforefaid
is faid to belong to William Berkeley, kt.
That the tnanor was divided between the king’s
grantee* or leffee, and the abbefs, appears farther
from the courts held in it.- There were two courts-
leet held yearly, one the Friday after Michaelmas,
the other foon after Hokkeday, or Hocktide. The
Ryle of it Was* Curia legalis D. Regis ; the year of
the king and the abbefs, in which it was held, being
always mentioned. At the Michaelmas court, the
mayor, coroners, conftables, and the king’s bailiff
were chofen by, and fworn into their office before
primus quejhis , or the twelve jurors. The perquilites
of thefe courts ex parte regis, ex parte abbaiifjie , arc
always fet down diftindlly at the foot of the court-
roll. In the computus of William Stone and John
Wykes, bailiffs and ' colleffors of the rents of the
fee of the lady abbefs, it E. IV, and 13 H. VII,
they acknowledge the receipts of the profits of
courts held within the gate of the abbey, and of two
court-Ieets held in the vill, in the abbefs’s fee, for
which laft they refer to the king’s roll : alfo for
courts of pie-powder, weighing of wool, piccage and
kevage [coverings for their Hall or Handings J, fe¬
lons goods, &c. The king alfo held another court,
generally every three weeks, which is Riled limply,
Curia D. Regis , and is a court of pleas for civil ac¬
tions.
From thefe records it is evident, that this manor
was divided between the abbefs and the Berkeleys :
whether the former held her part by grant of the
crown in fee, or by leafe, is uncertain. By the re¬
cord 16 R. II. it appears, that Hie had fometimes the
farm of the vill, and fometimes the cuHody of the
whole ; for, 10 E. IV, on the relloration of Henry VI,
he granted, for life, to George duke of Clarence ,
12 1. per annum, being the cuRomary payment of
the abbefs and convent for the cuRody of the town x.
Nor is this to be wondered at ; all religious houfes in
thefe times embraced every opportunity of engrof-
fing every branch of power and profit to themfdves
wherever they were concerned.
The Tolls. 8 E. III. Richard Scammel held half
the profits of the tolls of this vill e. The farm of
the toll of the town was granted to the abbefs by
K. Richard [f. II.] f.

tain arrears of aid from the town of St. Edward, be-
caufe of its poverty. Vicecomes reddit computu ’ in

The abbefs held a court every three weeks, on
Wednefdays, Riled Curia D. Abbatijfe , as appears
by feveral court-rolls t. E. II, H. VI, and E. IV,
and it is faid in the computus of Mr. Stone and Mr.

of the manor of Tiffebury, Hanleigh, Kihgfton, he.
attended, and the men of Fontmel, Compton, W.
Orchard, he. are faid to be in the jurifdiclion of this
court, which feems to have been held every three
weeks for pleas of debt, he. as appears by feveral
court-rolls t. H. VI. The perquifites of this be¬
longed alfo wholly to the abbefs. This court was
probably peculiar to the manor and tenants of the
abbey without the town. Mr. Willis fays, that in
many great abbey-towns there was both a fpiritual
and a temporal manor, the frit being veiled in the mo-
naftery, and the other belonging to the king, or fome
lay lord ; and they were checks upon one another.
i E. VI. the king granted to Thomas IVriothef-
ley, earl of Southampton, and his heirs, this ma¬
nor (probably both moieties), the town, borough,
feite, and precincls of the late monaftery of Shaftef-
fbury, and all meffuages, lands, &c. belonging to
the fame, in the pariih of St. Peter, St. Laurence,
St. James, St. Martin, and the Holy Trinity ; and
the advowfons and right of patronage of the recto¬
ries and churches of St. Peter, St. Laurence, St.
Martin, and the Holy Trinity k. 7 E. VI. the pre¬
mises, the courts, the views of frank-pledge of the
manor, the manor of Barton, late belonging to fir
Thomas Arundel, attainted, were granted to William
earl of Pembroke for 8447 1. 7 s. 2 d. Sir Thomas
Arundel had, t. H. VIII, the grant of feveral manors
belonging to this monaftery ; particularly, 37 Id. VIII,
tne manors of Barton, in the parifhes of St. Peter and
St. Rumbald, French-Mill in St. Rumbald’s, and the
advowfon of that reeftory : and, 7 E. VI, Margaret,
his relief, had a grant of feveral manors belonging to
this monaftery, one third of the manor of Barton,
and the feite of this monaftery, parcel of her huf-
band’s poffeffions : but it feems only to have been
for her life ; fo that it is not very clear that the manor,
and the whole feite of the monaftery, ever belonged
to that family long. Certain it is, that it continued
in the Pembroke family many years after ; for, about
1680, Philip, earl of Pembroke, fold the advowfons
of the churches to fir John Nicholas, knight of the
Bath, fon of fir Edward Nicholas, let. fecretary of
ftate, anceftor to the prefent proprietor ; and con¬
veyed the royalty of the manor and borough to An¬
thony AJhley Cooper, earl of Shaftfbury, in whole
family they ftill remain b
Here was an ancient freehold in this town. 2 H. II.
Radulph de Lanuval held in Shaftsberie 20 1. m. 12
and 13 John, William de Lanvaley held ten librates
here, a tenant of the king’s demefne n. 23 H. III.
William Lanuval paid 1 o 1. blank here °. The
daughter and heir of William de Lanvale were in
cuftody of Hubert de Burgh, jufticiary, by the advice
of K. Henry III, and her land in Kingfton w'as worth

Greyftock Ballivus, are mentioned in a roll of court-
leet. Queen Eliz. gave the firft charter, a. r- . . and
granted a mayor, a recorder twelve aldtrnlen, a
bailiff, and a common-council. King James I. a. r. 2,
1604, granted another, when John Nichols is named
mayor, John Bowden, gent, recorder, and William
Sabadge, town-clerk. King Charles II, a. r. 17,
granted them another charter, which refers to that
of 2 Jac. I. and differs very little from it ; wherebv
he appointed a mayor, to be chofen annually the
Monday before, and fvvorn the Friday after Michael¬
mas ; twelve capital burgeffes, to hold, quamdiu fs
bene gejferint ; a recorder, and town clerk, to hold,
durante bene placito, of the mayor and capital bur¬
geffes, either of whom may execute his office by a
deputy ; no man to be chofen mayor within three
years of his former mayoralty ; and if any perfon
chofen fhall refufe to acl, he is to forfeit ten pounds
for the ule of the borough, and may be fent to the
county gaol till payment, in which cafe another of
the capital burgeffes is to be chofen in his place ;
power to make, revoke, and alter by-laws, and
to inflift proper punifliments for non-cbfervance of
them, fo that nothing be done contrary to the
laws of the land ; the limits of the town to extend
as far, and a power of perambulation as heretofore
a court of record every Saturday, to hold pleas of
all trefpaffes, he. and of all debts, he. not exceed¬
ing 10 1. ; two ferjeants at mace, to be chofen yearly
the Monday before Michaelmas, to execute precedes,'
he. attend on the mayor, and carry before him
maces gilt, or^of filver, with the king’s arms en¬
graven thereon ; the mayor to be clerk of the market ;
a coroner to be chofen every year on the Monday
aforefaid •, power in full court to elect and fwear
fuch attorneys, and other inferior officers as fhall be
thought fit ; the mayor, during his mayoralty, as alfo
the recorder, to be juftices of the peace, with au¬
thority to enquire into all trefpaffes and final! of¬
fences within the borough, but not in cafes where
life or member is concerned ; a fair from the eve to
the morrow of St. Martin, with a court of pie¬
powder, &c. the tolls thereof, he. to the mayor
and burgeffes ; licence to purchafe lands; not ex¬
ceeding 100 marks per annum, with power to any
perfon to grant or fell accordingly, notwithftanding
the ftatute of mortmain, &c. j a confirmation of ail
things formerly enjoyed by them, though difeon-
tinued or forfeited, without any .hTo warranto, or
moleftation ; provifo, that if any perfon hereafter
to be chofen recorder, or town-clerk, lhall by war¬
rant under the king’s fign manual, be difapproved
of, the ele&ion to be void, he.
N. B. There is no fuch claufe as this laft in the
charter of king James I ; but this might give
occafion to king James II, to extend it farther.
Accordingly by an order of council, dated 27 Nov.
publilhed 28 Nov. 1687, he ordered the corpora¬
tion to remove William Franklin, the mayor ; Wil¬
liam Bowles, efq. juftice of the peace, and one of

Richard Hurman mayor, Peter Benner, juflice of the
peace, and one of the burgdfes, Nathanael Ernie,
Anthony Morrell, Abraham Matthew* John Ring,
John Butler, John Arney, and John Combe, bur^
geffes* and William Benoet recorder, and juftice of
the peace, in their room, without adminilfering unto
them any oath, but the ufual oath for the execution
of their refpeftive places, with which he was pleafed
to dilpenfe in this behalf. This pretended power
of removing the officers is to be underRood of a
charter granted by king James II. himfelf, for no
Rich claule is found in the charter of Car. II. Whe¬
ther this new charter was revoked the year following,
or otherwife annulled is uncertain. It is agreed that
the charter granted by K. Charles was never given up ;
but being fecreted by Mr. Attwell, the town-clerk,
was produced upon the change of times, and is the
fame by virtue of which the corporation aft at this
day.
The charter of Charles II. refers to that of James I,
and both to divers charters of preceding kings, but
without naming any ; and both call it an ancient and
populous borough, as well by reafon of divers pre-
feriptions and cuftoms, time out of mind, as by vir¬
tue of the faid charters. Here are now a mayor,
twelve aldermen, a recorder, and town-clerk, incor¬
porated by the charters of James I. and Charles II.
The mayor was anciently chofen out of two burgeffes,
by the twelve jurors, or primus quejlus , of the king’s
court-leet, held the Wednefday after Michaelmas-
day, with the affent of the commonalty of the bo¬
rough ; which jury then alfo chofe two coroners,
two cotiflables, and the king’s bailiff, who were all
then fworn before the faid jury into their offices, as
appears by the rolls of the king’s court-leet, 25,
39 H. VI, 11, 15, 20 E. IV, and 3 H. VII. The
mayor is now chofen according to their laffi charter.
Anciently there was no officer known by the title of
recorder ; but there was one of the fame nature, lliled
Confiliarius Communitatis Burgi Shajion , as appears by
the computus of the common wardens 14 E. IV.
hereafter mentioned. By the charter 2 Jac. I. the
ancient Rile of Major ft? Communitas Burgi de Shajion ,
was altered to that of Major ft? BurgenfeSy &c. and
Rill continues.
In a computus of Robert Stedman and John Boti-
ler cuftodes, or cmnerarii of the rents of the commu¬
nity of this borough 1 3 E. IV, we have thefe parti¬
culars relating to it, viz. the charge for feven dozen
fduoden’ J and one quarter of bread, bought for the
anniverlary of the benefaftors of the faid community,
7 s. 3d*; and for three dozen and one quarter of
ale, 7 s. 3 T d. ; for cheefe, 3 s. ad.*, paid to the
priefls, clerks, and other literati , 7 s. 10 d. ; for
ringing the bell, 4 d. ; to the crier, for proclaiming

granted to the king by parliament, to the king’s col-
leftor, by the hand of Philip Goodman, 7.I. by that

putants, 30 s. 4c]. together with 27 s. 6 d. levied

for his Ripend, 26 s. 8 d . ; to William Coteler, the

Ripend of the computant . . s.
Anciently the mayor had but one mace carried be¬
fore him, as appears by an entry in the common war¬
den’s computus, 14 E.1V. Et in '/Upend* Wilt’i Coteler ,

The Arms of the town are a crofs between two
fleurs de lys, and as many leopards faces. The co¬
lours are not known.
This town fends two members to parliament. The
right of election was fettled by this refold tion of
the Houfe of Commons 16^5. Refol'ved, That the
right is not only in the mayor and burgeffes, but in
the inhabitants of the faid borough,, paying fcot and'

upwards.

The Monastery.
It Was a nunnery of the Benedictine order, at that
time the only religious order in the church of Rome,
and the original of all the reft. Leland fays *, it
was founded by king Ethelbald, and that his bro¬
thers Ethelbert, Ethelred, and Alfred, were alfo con-
fidered as founders. Elfewhere he gives this honour
intirely to Alfred y. William of Malmfbury z will
have it to have been built by Elfgina, Elgefa, orElgiva,
wife of king Edmund, great grandfon [pronepos ] of
king Alfred, and that fhe was buried here : but fue
could only be a benefaftrefs to it, or might repair
and adorn it, after fome deflruftion made by the
Danes in her time. It is not very improbable that
here was a fmall monaftery, as well as a town, before
king Alfred’s time : but mod of our hiftorians
agree, that it was founded by king Alfred, 888.
So the Chronicles of St. Neot’s and Wilton in Le¬
land a. Brompton places it 875. After Meneven-
fis, who lived about this time, fays b, that Alfred’
founded by the eaft gate of Sceftafburg, a monaftery
for nuns, wherein he placed as abbefs his own
daughter -ZEthelgeof, Ayleva, or Ethelgyfva, a vir¬
gin devoted to God, who, with many other noble
nuns, ferved God there. About this time he alfo
founded Athelney monaftery in Somerfetfhire. But
it is mod probable it was built, or rebuilt, about
the fame time with the town, between A. D. 885 — 992.
The name of the firft abbefs feems to have led
Malmesbury into the miftake abovementioned, by
which he puts the foundation fome years later. Cer¬
tain it is, that king Alfred was, if not the firft, the
principal founder. His charter, in Saxon and Latin,
is ftill extant in the regifter of this abbey in the
Britifti Mufeum, MS. Harl. 61, and is called Tefta-
mentum R. Alfredi. It is written in the running hand
of the time when this ehartulary was made, and
only the th and w are of the Saxon form ; but as all
the language is Saxon, I have put it entirely into
Saxon letters.

The purport of it in Englifh is as follows
“ I king Aim ed, to the honour of God, arid the
“ Holy Virgin, and all Saints, do give and grant,
“ for the health of my foul, to the church of Shaftf-
“ bury, 100 hides of land: viz. in Dunheved and
“ Compton, 40 hides ; in Henley and Giffig, 20
y in Tarent, 10; in Iwerne, 15; and in Funtemele,
“ 15 ; with the men and other appurtenances, as they
“ now are, and my daughter Ayleva with the fame ;
“ file being in an ill ftate of health, and a nun in
the fame church. Witnefs, See. Wholoever fhall
“ alienate thefe things mav he be for ever accurfed
“ of God and the holy Virgin Mary, and all the
“ faints. Amen.”
It was firft dedicated to the B. V. Mary, bur. it
loll that name, at leait for feveral ages, upon the
tranflation hither of the body of St. Edward the
Martyr, who was murdered at Corf-caftle 18 March,
978, and firft clandeftinely buried at Wareham,
whence, according to Leland d, he was next year,
or as others, on better grounds, fay, three years
afterwards removed to this abbey by Elpher, or
Alfer, duke of Mercia, or St. Dunflan, as others,
A. D. 980, concerning which fee more before in
Corfu- caftle c.
Miracles were foon invented to fupport the fanftity
of his remains : for behdes thofe which are pretended
to have been wrought after his fir ft interment, and
on his removal to Wareham and hither, he had not
lain long here before a matron, in the mofl remote
parts of England, being lame, the king appeared to
her in the night, and ordered her to repair to Shafton
to his tomb, and lhe fhould be cured, which accord¬
ingly was done. The body was frit intombed on
the N. fide of the principal altar. In 1101 his
tomb was fenfibly elevated from the earth, and
fhevred he was willing to be removed from that
place. He appeared in a vifion to a holy man, and
ordered him to go to the abbey of Shafton, to the
abbefs, and tell her he would lie in that place no
longer, and that fhe fhould relate this to his brother
Ethelred. This was done, and the king exprefled a
great defire to be prefent at his tranflation [ clevalioni
ejus ] : but being hindered by the wars, he ordered
the bifhop of Sherborn, and a prelate named Elf-
finus, and others, to depofite the body in a fit place
after taking it out of the earth. On opening the
tomb they perceived a fragrant odour, and taking
the reliques out of the tomb, depofited them in a
place prepared for them, in the fanftum fanftorum,
with the reliques of other faints. The body was
taken up twenty-one years after it was firfl intombed.
The place at Septonia, where, as Brompton exprelTes
it, ejus pul mo (by which, I fuppofe, we are to under-
ftand his heart 1 ) Integra viriditate palpitat, is called
Edzvardftozce.
Polydore Vergil fays, that the body of St. Edward
was removed from Wareham to Glajlon , which is
certainly a miftake for Shajlon.
Bromton, William of Malmsbury, and other an¬
cient hiftorians s fay, that part of his body was buried
in Lef, or LeoPs, nionaftery, i. e. Leominfter in
Herefordfhire. Leland adds , “ the certainty is
“ known, that the abbey of Shaftsbury had rule at
“ Lemfter, and poffefTed much landes there, and fent
1 3
“ part of the reliques of king Edward the martyr to
“be adored there h.” The late reverend Dr. Con-
ningsby informed me, that the regifter of Leominfter,
in the hands of the late lord Conningsby, fays no¬
thing of this. The fame hiftorians fay, that part
of thefe reliques were kept at Abingdon, where, ac¬
cording to Leland l, “ fume fayeth he was brought
“ up iii his tendre age.” If this be true, ShaftePoury
had only his heart, unlefs we fuppofe the abbefs and
convent knew their intereft too well to part with any
of thofe reliques; from which they derived fo great
an advantage. On this account the abbey and the
church received their names from him ; the abbefs
was filled abbefs of St. Edward, and the very town
almoft loft its old name, arid was called for fome
time, Burgus Sa/idi Edzvardi, and Edwardjiewe.
1 liis unfortunate king being efteemed a martyr,
and canonized a faint, his lhrine was much reforted

this faint was kept on three feveral days ; on the

according to the title of a deed in the Kalerid. Mu¬

Possessions of this Abbey.
In the Britifh Mufeum, N° 61, is a very ancient
regifter of this monaftery in quarto, wrote on parch¬
ment, the titles of each deed with red ink, which is
fomewhat decayed. There is no title nor date to it.
It is a collection of charters, rentals, and conven¬
tions from the Saxon age, few of which occur after
the beginning of Richard II. The firfl part of it
feems to be copies at leaf! from fome very ancient
original, for the names of the tenants are fimilar to
thofe that occur in Domefday Book, nor are there
many furnames. Ic probably belonged to fir Simon
Dewes, and is the fame quoted by Dugdale in his
Monafticon.
Fob 37 — 89 contains a rental of the abbey, ma¬
nors, and lands, names of the tenants, lands they
held, and the feveral te-nures and yearly payments
in the following places. The account of the churches,
or re&ories of Cheflelburn, lwern-Minfter, Melburv,
Comptori-Abbas, Fontmell, Stoke-Wake, Tarent-

On a vacancy of the abby, or when there was a
probability of one, it was ufual for the king to grant
the cuftody of the abby to the priorefs and nuns.
38 E. III. the king granted a charter of vacation to
the priorefs and nuns, after the deceafeof J.Fonnage,
of the cuftody of the abby ; and, by reafon- of tem-
peftuous winds and peftilence, the revenues were
fcarce fufficient to maintain them d. 3 H. IV. the
king granted to Cecilia Fovent, and the nuns, the
cuftody of the abby when vacant e.
In £3,26, the bilhop of Sarum certifies, that there
was an exceftive multitude of nuns in this monaftery ;
and 1328 he makes an ordinatio numeric the revenues
not being fufficient to maintain fuch a multitude ;
and declares 120 nuns capable of being maintained
here, and that no more be admitted f. But this

T a cite profejfis 22.
It is probable, that in religious houfes, as many of
the lower order of the TacitZ Profejfss were often
called upon to join in conventual a&s as were want¬
ing of the Exprejfe Profejja towards making up a
chapter. If this be fo, it will lead us to the know¬
ledge of the number of nuns required to make a
chapter for deeding a lady abbefs in this convent.
1 ft, It appears that forty-one was not a fufficient
number at the election of Edith Bonham. 2d, That
fifty-five was a fufficient number, in cafe that lady
was chofen unanimoully, as perhaps lhe might be,
confidering what fort of a difpenfation lhe ftood in
need of. Hence it follows, '3diy, That Margaret St.
John wanted four votes, and Elizabeth Shelford five
of the whole number, qthly, That Margaret Twy-
niho carried her eledion by thirty-fix againft nine¬
teen, or at lead it is evident, that thirty-fix made the
majority of a chapter.
In 1553 Breton the facrift’s accounts, the num¬
ber of nuns ftood thus :

N. B. Thofe marked * were living, and theif
penfions fubfifting, 1553 m.
The Abbey, or Conventual Church.
There now remain not the lead reftiges of if, but
it feems to hate ftood parallel with Holy Trinity
6 13 4 each, church-yard, Which anciently belonged to it, at the
eaft end of the abbey, on Park-Hill, towards the
eaft end of it, a§ appears by bones and coffins found
there. It wa$ dedicated to the B. V. Mary , to whom
afterward St. Edward was joined on his tranflatioa
hither. It was the glory and ornament of the town,
the mother church, and almoft the only place of fe-
6 o o each, pnlture, there being but one ancient inferiptron in
any of the prefent churches, which is in St; Peter’s,
and feems to have been removed hence. It was a mod
magnificent building, if we may judge from the
traditions the townlinen retain of its largenefs and

heighth, and from the fpirej Whence Camden, See.
derive the name of the town. By its great heighth,
and advantageous fituation on the top of the hill, it
mull; have had a very fine effect, and been fe-cn over
a great part of the counties of Dorfet and Scmerfet.
It teems to have been ruined immediately upon the
difl’olution, as Leland plainly hints, though he gives
us not the lealt account of it n. It is greatly to be
lamented that it was not left handing, and made par¬
ochial, beinp- fo great an ornament to the town and
county ; and if we confider how fond people of all
ranks were, in times of Popery, of being interred
in monad eries, and the advantages arifing to them
from obits, maffes, and dirges, there is no room to
doubt but that this was the place of fepulture of
many perfons of quality, who formerly lived in the
parts adjacent: and had their monuments exihed, it
might have thrown more light on the hihory of their
families than we now have. And, which is hill more
to be regretted, there is hardly any account of their
very names preferved.
Only the following perfons occur, difperfed in va¬
rious records. King Edward the Martyr; Elfgiva,
wife of Edmund, king of the W. Saxons, a great
benefa&refs here. Here were obits for fir Thomas
Skalis, who was deacon of the high altar, and died
in 1532. Cecilia Fovent, abbefs; Joan Formage,
abbefs; Edith Bonham, abbefs; Margaret St. John,
abbefs; and fiber Egidia de Ehower. In 1524,
George Twyniho, efq. by will ordered his body to
be buried in this church, near the fepulchre of his
uncle Chrihopher Twyniho, and forgave lir Giles
Strangeways 30 1. he owed him.
On Park Hill was formerly found an oval feal, on
which was a pelican vulned, feeding her young, and
round it, SIGILLVM OFFICIALITATIS DOR¬
SET.
In 1746, South of the feite of the abby, on fink¬
ing a faw-pit in a garden, between the E. end of
Park-Hill, and the paffage that leads to the Abby-
Green, about four feet deep, was found with fome
human bones, a gold ring weighing ^ of an ounce,
val. 6 1. without any infeription or figure. In
1761, was dug up on this hill, a hone about two
feet fquare, on which were the arms of the abbey, a
crofs or patonce, between 4 martlets, very fairly
cut.
In this church, according to Breton’s account was
a fhrine of St. Elene : alfo the following
Chantries.
Platels, or St. Nicholas chantry, founded 16 E.
III. 1342, by the king’s licence, at the altar of St.
Nicholas, in the conventual church, by Thomas,
ion of Thomas Piatel, of Shafton, who endowed it
with fix marks per ann. rent, iffuing out of his tene¬
ments, called Platcles-Forum, in Shaflcn, for a re-
iident chaplain, to celebrate daily for ever, for the
good ellate of the faid Thomas and Alice his wife,
and for their fouls after their deceafe ; and for the
fouls of Thomas and Agnes, father and mother of
Chrihian, formerly his wife, and their aqceftors,
heirs, and benefahors, Dionyfia 'abbefs of Shahon,
and her fucceffors to be patrons ; and in cafe they
did not prelent in two months, then tjie Biffiop of
Sarura hiould ; and if he did not preient in two months.
then the dean and chapter were to prefent: this
foundation was confirmed in 1343 by the biihop of
Sarum ; from whom the chantry priehs or canta-
rihs had inhitution °. In the Sarum reeihers, 22
chantry priehs occur from 1342 to 1463.
The perpetual chantry at the altar of the Holy
Crofs , in this monaherv. When, or by whom, it was
founded is not known. The patron of it was the
abbefs. In the Sarum llegifters there occur nine
chantry-priehs from 1323 to 1365.
In 1364 Laurence Manduit, prieh of this chantry,
with the confent, and at the fuep-ehion of the ah-
befs and convent, was tranflated by the biihop, fub-
duElci perpetuitate dicta Cant aria, to the church of the
Holy Trinity, in. the church-yard of the fame mo¬
il aftery, contigue fituat a ; and he was induced perpe¬
tual chaplain, congrua pcnfione ajfgnata p. In 1533 a
penfion of 61. was fubfifting to John Clements, in¬
cumbent of Trinity-chantry. This chantry, and the
chaplain of it, in the Kalend. Muniment, is laid to
be tranflated, cum farailiaribus monajicrii , to the
church of the Holy Trinity.
The chantry De la Gore was founded about
13 R. II. and was endowed with an houfe and lands
at le Gore, in St. James’s parilh, for two chantry
priefts, one of whom was to officiate in the conven¬
tual church, the other in the chapel of St. Anne de
la Gore. See more of this chantry in St. James’s
parilh. The patron was the dean and chapter of
Sarum. In the Sarum regillers of inftitution nine
chantry priefts occur from 1347 to 1553.
The chantry of St. John Baptist. In the com¬
putus of John Wykes, bailiff and colleftor of the
lady abbefs, 14 H. VII, a tenement in Eaft-Street is
faid to belong to it ; perhaps the refidence of the
chantry prieft, who, with the reft of them, rhuft have
refided in the town, as they could not in the nunnery,
though they officiated in the conventual church. In
the chantry roll, 1 E. VI, the chantry of St. John
Baptift in the monaftery, was valued at 10.6 s. 8 d.
In it was a chalice of five ounces, William Wallop
incumbent. 3 E. VI. this, together with the chantry
of St. Catharine at the altar of St. Catharine in the
monaftery, and the capital manfion of Margaret St.
John’s chantry were granted to Silvefer Taverner a.
In 1!>53 was fubfifting a penfion of 5I. to Walter
Houfe, the incumbent of St. Catharine’s, and ano¬
ther of 4!. \ 6 s. to William Wallop, the incum¬
bent of St. John’s chantry.
The chantry of St. Catharine at the altar of
St. Catharine. Of this we have no further account
than what is related in the laft article, except that,
1541, William Stanley was chantry prieft, and that
it is mentioned in the Kalend. Muniment. ; and in
Breton the facrift’s account, the chaplain’s ftipend
is faid to be 61. 13 s. 4 d. and cos. is charged for
fupervifing lands and tenements belonging to it. In
the chantry roll, 1 E. VI, it was valued at 6 1. 13 s.
4 d. It had no lands belonging to it, but a penfion
paid by the king; William Stanley incumbent.
The chantry of St. Edward was in this mo¬
naftery, of which we have no further account.

William Stanley incumbent of it, was fubfifting

Befidcs thefe there are fome other chantries, that
occur only in the Kalend. Muniment. It mentions
a collation [_co!latio~] of the chantry of Sr. Leonard \ a
confirmation of the chantry of St. Thomas , a chantry
of abbefs Cecilia Fovent, a chantry of abbefs Edith
Bonham , and an ordination of the chantry of abbefs
Dionyfm Blount at the high altar ; of all which we
have no other account.
In this monaflery was an office of the deacon o£
the great or high altar, who was prefented by the
abbefs, and received inflicution from the biffiop of
Sarum, in whofe regiflers thirteen deacons occur
from 1318 to 1532.
The Abbey-House.
Little of it now remains, except part of an an¬
cient houfe, on the S. of Trinity-church, in which
appear two or three very large arches walled up,
but formerly paffages into other parts of the build¬
ings, fo that the feite is fcarce to be difeerned. But
it is certain it flood on the S. fide of Trinity-church,
towards the W. end of it, on Park-hill. It was de-
molifhed, together with the church, foon after the
diffolution •, which work feems to be far advanced, if
not entirely compleated, at the time of Leland’s Pur¬
vey, who appears to have been here 1539. After
the diffolution he only fays of it, “ The abbay ffode
“by . of the town,” which plainly implies
it was then demolifhed. 42 E. III. a patent was
granted pro kernellanda [embattling] abbathiam.
This monaflery was diffolved March 23, 1539,
38 H. VIII, when Elizabeth Zouch, the laft abbefs,
furrendered it with fifty-five nuns. In 1353 here
was 29 1. 13 s. 4 d. remaining in annuities, and
penfions to the abbefs and 38 nuns.
It feems very probable' that the feite of this mo¬
naflery, or part of it, was granted to fir Thomas
Arundel ; for, 7 E. VI, it was regranted to Margaret
his relift. The anonymous author of the account of
fome places in this county, cited hereafter, at Miltori-
Abbas, fays, that “ the abbey was given to fir TI10-
“ mas Arundel, kt. whofe fon fir Matthew let the
“ houfe to ruins, and budded at Wardour-caftle.”
1 E. VI. the feite and precinfts were granted to
Thomas earl of Southampton ; 7 E. Vl. to William
earl of Pembroke , who feems to have purchafed of
lady Arundel. From hence it paffed with the manor
to the earl of Shaftjbury.
The following deed, copied from an old writing
late in the hands of Mr. John Knype, of Semley, c.
Wilts, being thus endorfed, Burg* Sbajion, 1565, is
curious and valuable, as it is the only account now
remaining of this houfe, and contributes to give us

Veral claufes in it plainly intimate t hat fome part

Several records relating to this abbey may be feeri

Chapels in the Town.
The free chapel of Sr. Michael flood in Berton*
Street, now in Trinity parifh, perhaps anciently in
that of St. Laurence. In a roll of court Jeet held
Mich. 39 H. VI. 1460, one John Pole was prefented
for a nuifance, in Berton- Street, oppofite to- Sr. Mi¬
chael’s chapel: and in another, 15 and 16 E. IV,
the cujicdes bonorum of the church of St. Michael
were t prefented for a breach of the aftize of beer.
The Sarum regifters take no notice of this chapel,
nor are there now the lead remains of itl
Here were alfo chapels - at Blintesfield, and Sr.
Anne de la Gord, in St. James’s parifh, where fee
concerning them. There was alfo one dedicated to
Sr. Edward , in the fame parifh, of which we have
no account, nor is it known where it flood.
Chantries in the Town.
The chantry of Sr. Edward. In the Calend.
Muniment, is the title of a charter for two mef-
fuages in Shafton, for the maintenance of one chap¬
lain, to celebrate mafs for the foul of K. Edward,
in St. Edward’s chapel in St. James’s parifh. There
alfo occurs another, entitled, Licentia ad celebrandum ,
in Capella Sti. Edwardi extra monajlerium conjirubia ,
which plainly dillinguifhes it from the parochial
church of St. Edward, and a chapel dedicated to the
fame faint in the monaftery. In this chantry feems
to have been two priefts, one of which officiated in
: Fee forrefters.

Sr. Edward’s chapel, in the monaftery, the other in
that in the town. There was alfo a chantry of Sr.
Ann de la Gore, in St. James’s parifh.
The Priory or Hofpital of St* John Baptist.
' We have no account either when or by whom it
was founded. Dr. Tanner s mentions a patent, 5
R. II. concerning the priory or hofpital of St. John
Baptift, fuper montem de Shafion. The patronage of
it was in the abbefs. In the Sarum regifters, there
occur 20Cuffodesor wardens, among which is George
Twynyho, who was inftituted 1492, and refigned
1497* In 1450, it is (tiled a free chapel or hofpital.
It flood near St. Martin’s church, and in that parifh,
at the meeting of Hert, Crope, and Shetwell Lanes.
In a roll of court leet, 11 and 12 E. IV. is men¬
tioned the crofs of St. John, in E. ftreet. In the
chantry roll, 1 E. VI. this hofpital was valued at
4 1. per ann. and had one bell, val. 3 s. 3 d. John
Ham, incumbent, who received the profits to his
own ufe. It was defigned for five poor men, but
the poor lived by the alms of the town. 2 E. VI.
this hofpital or priory, with lands in Shafion, Mot-
comb, and Gillingham, belonging to it, was granted
for 136I. 11s. 4 d. to Kendal , Burgh , &c. John
l lame, the lad incumbent, occurs 1543 ; and in
*553 had a penfion of 3 1. 15 s. 4d. There was alfo
a chantry houfe in the E. ftreet, belonging to the
chantry of St. John, in the monaftery ; which muft
not be confounded with the former.
Here was alfo in the town a chantry of St. Ka¬
tharine, which feems to have been a different one
from that of the fame name in the monaftery, or was
the chantry houfe belonging to it. In the Sarum
regifters, we find William Stanlaw, pbr. on the re-
fignation of William Breton, prefented by the king ;
inft. 5 Nov. j 54 1 c. The lcite of it is not known.
Here was a fraternity of St. Clement , mentioned
in a court roll, 39 H. VI. and 20 E. IV. and
another of St. Gregory , mentioned 1 1 and 20 E. IV.
With all thefe religious edifices, this town made
a very great figure in times of popery. They were
not only an ornament, but a great advantage to it,
by the concourfe of pilgrims and fuperftitious people,
whofe miftaken piety drew them to thefe repgious
places, efpecially the fhrine of St. Edward. To this
the town owed all its reputation and flourifhing con¬
dition ; but at the dilfolution they all funk in one
common ruin.
Church-Lands. In 1293, lands of the prior of
Okeburn here were valued at 2 1. 6 s. 9^d. u 16
R. II. it was found not to the king’s detriment, to
grant licence to Bernard Brocas , chcv. &c. to give
four meffuages, and two acres of land, in Shafion,
to the priory of Ederofe , or Jury-Church x. 5 Jac. I.
a cottage near St. Peter’s church* belonging to the
fame, was granted to Edward Philips. 12 Jac. I.
a meffuage near the Swan Inn, a clofe near Boywel
Lane, and another near Sherborn Caufeway, in all
three acres, part of the faid priory, were granted to
James Prowfle. By the computus of John Botiler,

The Castle.
Though no mention is made of a caflle, yet there
feems to have been one on Caflle- Green, a little W.
of St. Mary’s, by fome called Bolthury -, where the
inhabitants have a tradition the old town or city
ftood L It is now a fair plain. On one fide it joins
to the town on the E- ; but on the W. it terminates
in a deep precipice. On the very brow of the hill,
to the W. is a fmall mount, fur rounded on the part
that joins to the tow, n by a (hallow trench, the area
of which is about two acres. It might have been a
Roman caftrum exploratorium, there being a very
extenfive prolpect thence of the vale of Blackmore ;
and the country adjacent.
Gentlemens Seats.
Tradition fays, that one Arundel, fteward to the
earl of Pembroke, in the beginning of queen Eliza¬
beth’s reign* built a large houfe in the town for him-
felf, out of the abbey materials z, as no doubt were
feveral others in this .and other parts of the town.
1 his feems to have been the fame which Mr. Coker a
fpeaks of, when he fays, “ The greateft ornament
bf the town is a fair turretted houfe of the lord Arun¬
del of Wardour, which as it were (hroudeth ' under
the high walls, the dwelling of Grove, a very wor¬
thy gentleman.” But it is molt probable it was
built by fir Thomas Arundel, or his Ion fir Matthew,
out of the ruins of the abbey. It (lands; in Bymport-
Street, and lately belonged to John Freke , of London,
gent, and has been a public houfe, known by the
name of the Rofe and Crown. It is now almoft
pulled down. In 1747, on the chimney piece, we:e

A little W. of the former is another large houfe,
now ruined, which formerly belonged to William
Grove , of this place, efq. to whom it came by Joan,
daughter and heir of John Boden, efq. alfo of this
town. This is the houfe before-mentioned by Mr.
Coker. This Mr. Grove was fecond fon of William
Grove, of Grays-lnn, and of Fern, c. Wilts, elq.
In the Vifitation Book of Wiltfliirey there are given
five defeents of this family, which came originally
out of Buckinghamffiire. Near this is another, for¬
merly belonging to John Foyle , efq.
On Sr. Mary’s Green, a little W. of the former,
was another, which feems to have belonged to the
Lows of this place, from whom it came to the Pitts,
of Stratfield-Say. It was pulled down 1743.
Near thefe is another, which belongs to the heir
of Thomas Bennet , of Norton-Bavenr, c. Wilts, efq.

which were, a fefs between 3 martlets, Rempftonj
and 3 fifties hauriant, Chattock . This family were
either related' to, or anceftors of, the Piercys of Man*

the Crown, which had belonged to Mr. Pwyniho 5 in
which were 28 coats of arms, and among them feve- ^
ral of the Twyniho’s, and their quarterings.
The prefent Town-Hlal, or New Guildhall,
hands on five arches, in the corn-market. Here the
quarter- feflions for the peace are held, Tuefday after
the tranftation of Thomas Becket, July 7.
It was built by the corporation about 1578. The
ancient Guildhall flood a little W. of Church-Lane
and Goldhill-Crofs, adjoining to the park wall •, un¬
der which is flill the town prifon.
There were formerly many crofies difperfed up and
down in this town 5 one on St. Mary’s Green, ano¬
ther on Goldhill, another in Trinity Church-yard.
There flill remains alfo the Fifh Crofs, which flands a
little beyond the town-hall, to the W. and is co¬
vered with lead. The Butter or Cheefe Crols, which
feems to have been anciently called the Pultry Crofs,
flood in the Butter Market, and was taken down

Magdalen's, Maudlen's , or Dolhoufe , is a poor-houfe
in St. James’s parifh, on the W. fide of St. Mary’s

whom founded is unknown. Over the door, on an
efcotcheon, is a pale charged with 3 . . . . impaling
a chevron between 3 . heads erafed, and an il¬
legible infcription. 7 H. VI. at a court of the lady
abbefs, held on Wednefday after Chriflmas, Henry
Gaveler, chaplain and facritl of the conventual church,
paid a fine, for entrance into a little clofe of paflure
near Dolhous : and at a court- leet held 25 H. VI.

the ruinous houfe of Maudlins, in St. Mary’s parifh,

&c. and their heirs. It might be thought to come
within the chantry abt 5 and the revenues being taken
away, the houfe became a parifh houfe 5 and there
is now no endowment.

The town, being feated on the top of an high hill,
is entirely deftitute of fprings 5 except at the foot of
the hills in St. James’s parifh, two wells, in the
pofteffion of private perfons. At the foot of Caftle-
Hill were formerly fame water-works to fupply the
town. Their refervoir was on the top of the Butter
Crofs. It has been for time immemorial fupplied by
water brought on horfes backs, or on peoples heads,
from three or four large wells, a quarter of a mile
below the town, in the hamlet of Motcomb, and
parifh of Gillingham 5 on which account there is this
particular cuftom yearly obferved, by ancient agree¬
ment, between the lord of the manor of Gillingham,
and the mayor and burgefies of Shafisbury. The
mayor is obliged, the Monday before Holy Thurf-
aay, to drefs up a prize-befom, or byzant , as they
call it, fomewhat like a May garland in form, with
gold and peacocks feathers 5 and carry it to Elmore-
Green, half a mile below the town, in Motcomb, as
an acknowledgment for his water 5 together with a
raw calve’s head, and a pair of gloves, which the
fleward receives. Twelve penny -loaves, and three
dozen of beer, are by cuftom diftributed among the
people. The ceremony being over, the byzant is
reflored to the mayor, and brought back to the town

byzant is generally lo richly adorned with plate and
jewels, borrowed from the neighbouring gentry, that
it has fometimes been worth notlefs than 1500 1. A
great many people get their living by carrying water,
for which they have three-halfpence or two-pence an
horfe-load, according to the part of the town they
carry it to 5 and a farthing or a halfpenny a pail, if

fetched upon the head. About 1701$, the water was
railed by an horle-enginc at Winkham farm, in Sem-
ley, near a mile N. E. from Shafton; by William
Benfon, efq. afterwards furveyor of the king’s works ;
and conveyed into a large refervoir, in the High-
Street, or Barton-Street. But the yearly profits not
anfwering the fund and repairs, in three or four
years time it came to nothing. However, about
1714, the fame was renewed, and the town was fup-
plied with water from it ; though in fummer it was
feldom or never fit for nice ufes, as for coffee and
tea. From thefe refervoirs the water was diftributed
by leaden pipes into all quarters of the town. Both
thefe refervoirs have been long ruined, and now great
part ol the water is brought on hories backs from a
fpring at Elmore-Green, in Motcomb. Of late years
they have ten or twelve wells. The lateft was funk
in 1739, ac E. end of Park-Hill; and is 126
feet deep, and yields plenty of good water. At fe-
veral houfes they have dead wells, with proper (hoots
for catching the rain. That at the George-Inn will
hold 250 hogfheads.
Here was a caufeway called Sherborn-Caufeway ,
between Shafton and Sherborn, of which fee in Sher-
born. In 1753, an aft paffed for repairing and
widening the road from the top of White-Street Hill,
in Donhead St. Andrew, through Shafton, Milborn-
Port, and Sherborn, to the half-way houfe in Ne-
ther-Compton, and thence to Axminfter: and from
the Angel-Inn, in Shafton, to Gillingham and Sal¬
tern-Hill, in Penfelwood, c. Somerfet : and from
the New-Inn, in Cann, to the top of Melbury and
Tollard White Street. This was the firft turnpike
road made in this county.

fame prefentation ; perhaps ever fince the Reforma¬
tion, when the two latter were negiefted and defa-
crated. This church ftands at the W. end of High-
Street, having the Guildhall on the N. and abutting
on the W. on the edge of Goldhill. It con fills of a
chancel, body, and two iflesof equal length with the
body and chancel and a fquare embattled tower, ini
which are fix bells. The whole is covered with lead,
d he body is railed above the ifles, and fupported by
four arches, over which are five windows on the S.
and four on the N. It is ornamented on the outfide
with pomegranates, roles, portcullifes, &c. and thefe
arms: 1. 3 rofes in pale, imp. a chevron between
3 lions heads. 2. A chevron between g birds, imp.
frette with a bordure. g. A chevron between 3 owls,

On the fteps to the altar is a blue (tone, nOw lying
N. and S. and ferving for a ftep to the altar, but ic
formerly lay E. and W. in the body, at the foot of
the fteps. It feems to have been removed out of the-
abby, for there is no other ancient infeription in any
of the reft of the churches. On it is a brafs plate, ac
the upper end of which were two. efco'tcheons of
brafs, now torn oft', and only this infeription left :

It may be ftriftly faid, that St. Martin’s is united
to St. Peter’s, and St. Laurence’s to the Holy Trinity ;
but how far the Holy Trinity and St. Peter’s are
united, or when they were fo, cannot be aifcovered;
It is pretty certain that the ancient parifh of St. Mar¬
tin is now included in St. Peter’s, and St. Laurence’s
parifh in that of the Holy Trinity. But though St.
Peter’s and the Holy Trinity are united in the pre-
fentation, they remain in fome meafure diftinft pa-
rilhes, and have their refpeftive parochial officers *
fuch as churchwardens, overfeers of the poor, pariffi-
clerks, &c. In 1720, the inhabitants of thefe two
pariffies agreed, that an aft fhould be procured to
unite them, to prevent difputes and law-fuits about
the fettlement of paupers ; but being oppofed, the
defign was dropped, and never refumed.
The Parilh of St. Martin1,
This parifh contains Eaft, or Salisbury-Street, part
of Hert or Angel-Lane, High-Street, Shetewel-
Lane, Crope-Lane, and part of Mufton-Street. The
free-tenants of this parilh were charged by the ab-
befs’s bayliff 1 1. 6 s. 84 d. •, by the lacrift i8d. :
the cuftomary tenants, by the bayliff, 2 1. 2 s. 104 d. •,
and the tenants at will, by the facrift, 26 s. 10 d.
The Church is fituate at the S. corner of Hert
or Angel-Lane, into which looks the E. window,
whofe upper part ftill remains. In 1650 was fold,
by direftion of the carl of Pembroke’s will, the
moiety of a bam lying within the parilh of St. Peter’s,
and late parilh of St. Martin’s, called St. Martin’s
Church, together with the church-yard adjoining,
containing, by eftimation, five perches of ground.
In a roll of court-leet of the abbefs, 7 H. VI. men¬
tion is made of a cottage in a cemetery in the N. part
of High-Street, which muft have been in this parilh,
and feems to have been the fame before- mentioned,
taking the word adjoining in a large fenfe.

The Parifti of St. A N D R E W.
This redory, in the Sarum regifters, is faid to be
united to St. Peter’s before 1305, and is mentioned
together with St. Peter’s till about 1349, when it
probably went to ruin. The fcite of the church
and the boundaries of the parifti are now utterly
unknown.
The Parifti of the HOLY TRINITY.
Street and Park-Hill, and confifts of a chancel, body,
and two iftes equal with the chancel and bcdy, and
all tiled, fupported by four arches on each fide ; and
in the body, above the iftes, are three windows on
each fide. The tower is embattled and pinnacled,
and contains four bells. This church, as t he c'owuf-
men report, was enlarged by one Arundel, fteward
to the earl of Pembroke, about the beginning of
Q. Elizabeth’s reign ; but it was moft probably
done by fir Thomas Arundel. Adjoining is a Ipa-
cious church-yard beautifully planted with rows of
lime-trees, and bordering on the fouth on the remains
of the wall of the abbey. It was formerly the bu¬
rial-place of the whole town : for though we find
mention made of cemeteries in the parifti of St. Mar¬
tin and St. John, it is much to be doubted whether
they were made ufe of before the Reformation.

the free tenants of this parifh with 2 s. 9^ d. rent of

On a ftone near the S. E. end of the church-yard :
Plere lyes the body of Leonard and Dorothy
Bowles . Alfo Jofeph Bowles, their grandfon*
aged 34.
Mr. Jofeph Bowles, a native of this town, was a
gentleman of parts and learning, fellow of Oriel col¬
lege in Oxford, and eleded head librarian of the Bod¬
leian Library, in the room of Dr. Hudfon. In the
latter part of his time he became addided to drink,
grew carelefs and negligent, loft his charader, ruined
his health, and died here in an obfcure manner.
In the church-yard, on the S. fide is a neat hexagon
crofs of one ftone, on a bafe and three fteps. Not
far from it lies half a blue flab, on which has been a
brafs figure of a knight armed, with an infeription.
Vulgar tradition calls this a Saxon king.

Blyke-ftreet, Crope, or Cop-ftreet lane, Mill-Jane,
and part of Mufton-flreet, as they are now allowed
to be included in the parifli of the Holy Trinity.
The free c-hapel of St. Michael, before- mentioned
in the parifli of the Floly Trinity, feems alfo to have
been in this parifh.. ft he abbefs’s bailiff charges the
free tenants of this parifh 8 d. the facrift 6 s. and the
tenants at will 24 s. 8 d. The bailiff charges the
cuflomary tenants nothing.
The Church is now converted into a barn. It
was a fmall fabric, and fituated at the corner of St.
Laurence, formerly Bell-ftreer, at the E. end of
which is a fmall lane, anciently called Love-Lane ,
where, within the memory of man, was a kind of
refervoir for rain-water, ufed for waftiing houfes,
which is ftill known by the name of farfons Pool, and
feems to have been called the Fordmere ; for in a deed,
8 H. VI, a houfe is defcribed as fituated oppofite a
Fordmere , in the parifh of Sr. Laurence. In 1650
was fold, by direftion of the E. of Pembroke’s will,
all that barn, being now in the parifh of the Holy
Trinity, called St. Laurence’s church, together with
a certain parcel of ground adjoining, on which the
tower formerly flood.

In the Sarum regifters, 1381, it is not taxed, as not
exceeding twelve marks, and was then valued at 9 1.

The Liberty of A L/C E S T E R.
7 H. IV. William le Boteler, of Wemin, c. Salop,
gave to Alcefter priory an annuity of 100s. per an¬
num, ifluing out of lands and burgages in Shaftf-
bury, for the performance of divine fervice, alms,
and other pious works, for the health of his foul,
and of the foul of king Henry IV. u By what goes
before, this feems to be only a confirmation of fome
former grant-, fince Dugdale makes W. le Boteler to
have lived t. E. I. And in the TaxatioTemporalitat*
1293, the lands of the abbot of Alcefter, in Shafton,
were rated at 5 1. 2 s. Alcefter abbey was founded
by Ralph Botiler, of Overfly, c. Warwick, 1140,
5 Steph. but growing into decay, it was united, and
madeacellto Everfhain, c. Worceft. 1466, 10E.IV.*
13 E* IV. in a computus of Robert Stedman and
John Botiler, cuftodes, or camerarii, of the borough
of Shafton, they acounted for 27 s. 6 d. levied of
the tenants of the hundred of Alyncefter, and paid
to the colledor of the fifteenth granted to the king by
parliament. The facrift of the monaftery accounts,
24 H.. VIII, for 5s. i@4cd. paid to the king’s and
lady abbefs’s bailiff, and the bailiff of the hundred
of Alyneefterj and alfo paid to the Paid hundred for
Littelwood, 74. d. 2 H. Vi II, Stephen Payne held,
at his'death, leventy acres of pafture, and eight of
meadow, in this hundred, of the abbot of Eveiham,
by rent of 5 s. for all fcrvices
10 Jac. L this hundred, or liberty, with the ap¬
purtenances, fuit of court, amerciaments, &c. late
belonging to the abbey of Evefham, were granted,
inter aha, to William Whitmore2* Ic lately belonged
to John Foile, . efq. whofe relid Frances, daughter of
John Bifhop, efq. remarried William Harris , of Sa-
rum, efq. to whofe heir it is now defeended. It
feems to have palled to. Mr. Foile, from a branch of
the Newburghs ; for, 1650, Mr, Roger Newburgh's
old rents here, value, 3 1. per annum, were fe-
queftered. There is a conftable belonging to this
liberty, which contains the manors and farms of
Anketil-place, Blintesfield, Glydeford, le Gore, and
that of the dean of Sarum.
The Parifh of St. JAMES
ftands in a vale, fouth of the town, at the foot of
Park-Hill and St. John’s, whence iffue many little
fprings, that afford plenty of water to this part of
the town. The original and ancient parifh included
lutle more than the liberty of Alcefter and St* John’s
parifh, Burgefs-Lane, and the lower and greater pare
of Laundry-Lane. As it is at prefent conftituted, ic
ftands partly in the borough, and partly in the li¬
berty of Alcefter* Two bound- Hones, a little .E*

This church, or chapel’, was parochial, and to-
it was anciently confolidated the redlory of St. Ed¬
ward the Martyr, before 1299, and both were united
to Sr. James’s 1423. A deed in bifhop Chandler's
Regifter entitled, The Union of the Churches of All
Saints and St. James’s, fets forth, that the church of
All Saints anciently endowed was reduced ad exi -
litatem , that it would not fupport a chaplain, nor had
there been any for a long time, nor would any one
accept of it; that there was no fervice in it a long
time paft, and the diftance between both churches
was fmall. Thomas Witteham, the laft reilor, re-
figning it, the bilhop unites and confolidates it in all
things, fepulture excepted, to St. James’s ; the pa-
rifhioners of All Saints were to repair their own
church only ; the vicar of St. James’s to celebrate
in All-Saints church, Mondays, Wednefdays, and
Fridays ; and on Good-Friday, Chriftmas, and All-
Saints day. Dat. 1423.
The abbefs’s bailiffs, or collectors of their rent,
izE. IV. and 14 H. VII, charge the free tenants
of this parifh with the yearly rent of 5 s. i-J d. ; the
cuftomary tenants with is. At a court-leet, Mi¬
chaelmas, 39 H. VI, a perfon was prefented for an
annoyance, at the hedge of. All Saints ; fo that it is
probable fome part of the church was then (landing,
but both the fituation of the church and parifh is
now unknown. Yet we may form lbme conjetflure
from a computus of the abbefs’s bailiff, wherein he
places tire parilhes in the town in a regular order ;
for omitting St. Mary’s, he mentions them thus,
St. Martin’s, St. Peter’s, All-Saints, Sc. James’s, St.
John’s, and the Holy Trinity ; whence we may con¬
clude, that this parifh was fituated between thofe of
St. Peter and St. James, in the borough. On the
fouth fide of St. James’s-Street, in the eaftern part
of it, are two large ancient doors, belonging to two
leveral houfes, which not improbably might belong
to the churches of All-Saints and St. Edward’s.

The Parifh of St. E D W A R D the King and
Martyr.
We know no more of this church, but what is
mentioned in the a<Tt of union to that of All-Saints
before recited. Its feite, and the bounds of the pa¬
rifh, are entirely unknown : but as it was united to
All-Saints, and both to St. James’s, they are no
doubt included in the prefent bounds of that parifh ;
and, ic is highly probable, made that part of it
which is now in the borough. The a<ft of union
fays the diftance between them was but fmall.
The Parifh of St. J O H N
lies a little N. from that of Sr. James, on a hill, called
St. John’s Hill, adjoining to Park-Hill, on the weft.
The free tenants of this parifh were, 12 E. IV,
charged by the abbefs’s bailiff, 5 s. 54 d. payable
yearly at Michaelmas, and the cuftomary tenants
1 1. 5 s. 4d. payable quarterly. Befides which there
was a rent of aflxfe of 1 1. 2 s. payable yearly at
Eafter and Michaelmas. The facrift charges only the
free tenants with 5 d. the cuftomary ones with no¬
thing.
Towards the weft end of St. John’s Hill flood the
church, dedicated to St. John Baptijl , which has been
ruinated beyond the memory of man : there are (till
the marks of the foundations of a little church and
chancel. The church-yard contains about two acres
and is partly encompaffed with a wall, and partly
with a hedge. The parifhioners, till very lately,
made ufe of it as a burial-place.
On an altar-tomb, near the veftiges of the church,
is this infeription :

this lane is a dwelling- houfe, having a large door,

old and the prelent valors, it is ftiled a redory, but
in many records a vicarage. Robert [Bingham], bi¬

The parfonage-houfe is on the N. fide of the

SHAFTS B-URY
the E. end of Shafton, in a fcattered village, called
Cann , a mile from the church, and joins to that of
Dunhead-St. Mary, in Wilts. About half a mile
from the church, there is a noted done, that parts
both counties. The church is one of the bounda¬
ries of Cranborn-Chafe.
The manor feems anciently to have belonged to the
abbey. In feveral records it is ftiled the manor of
Barton and Cann, fo that it feems to have been
granted, 37 H. VIII, to fir 'T/joniajs Ar undell, and 7
E. VI. to Margaret his relief, and afterwards to the
earl of Pembroke, as has been before-mentioned in
Barton. From the earls of Pembroke it probably
paITed through feveral private hands to different’ per-
Ions, one of whemv fold|t<|n ^ 7^'j‘r ‘T, ' srf,
Here rifes the rivulet of Sturkf.l, menriohedTn
the perambulation of Cranborn-Chafe. It panes
hence to Twiford, where are fome meadows, called
Sturkel-meadows; and going thence by Bedfhurfl and
Eaff-Orchard, it falls into the Stour oppofite to
Manfton.

The Church is lituated j ufh without the borough,
at the E. end of the town, on the right-hand of the
road that leads to Salifbury. It is a very fmall
building, fuppofed, by a large arch on the fouth fide
of the chancel, and two more on the north fide of
the body (where perhaps were a N. and S. ifle) to be
the remains of a much larger. It cOfififts of a body
and chancel, both tiled, and a low embattled tower,
in which are two bells. The tower was built, as ap¬
pears by an infeription in the belfry, 1708. It is
dedicated to St. Rwnbold. The father of this faint was
king of Northumberland ; his mother was daughter
of Benda, king of Mercia. He was born in the vil¬
lage of Suithun [i. e. King’s-SuttOn] c. Northamp¬
ton, and b%>tized there by’ Widerinus the bifhop.
His godfather was Eadwold the presbyter. He lived
but three days, and dying 3 non. Nov. was buried
by iEdwold at Sutthun, and tranflated the year fol¬
lowing to Bracelea [Brackley], by Widerinus, and
the lecond year after to Buccingaham h. This infant
faint was had in fuch efteem, that many churches in
England were dedicated to him.
In this church is this infeription :

CHALBURY,
Chelejbury , Chalaebury.
THIS vill lies about a mile S. W. from Horton,
in a clear and wholefome air, on the fummit of
an hill, which rifes with an unequal and fteep afcent,
from the midft of a pleafant and fruitful vale, pre-
fenting a fine profpeff of the agreeable part of this
county, and a more diftant view of the adjacent
counties of Hants and Wilts. On the eaft are feen
Mr. Sturt’s feat at Horton, Mr. Seymour’s at Wood¬
lands, Ringwood church, and a tra<ft of country be¬
yond it; the horizon is bounded by the NewForeft.
On the north is lord Shaftlbury’s feat at Wimborn St.
Giles, and great part of Cranborn-chafe, till it is
terminated by a range of hills that lie fouth of Salif-
bury. On the weft are Mr. Sturt’s feat at Critchil,
Mr. Chafin’s at Chettle, and lord Temple’s at Gun-
vilie, and the hills that lie beyond Dorchefter. On
the fouth is a view of Wimborn-Minfter, Mr. Bankes’s
feat at Kingfton-hall, Mr. Churchill’s at Henbury,
and Mr. Drax’s at Charborough ; part of the Britilh
channel, the church and town of Chriftchurch, the
Needles, and the Ifle of Wight.
The hill is a fine yellow gravel, on a bed of
chalk : and here is found a particular fort of fine
fand, in great requfift among founders. Though it
lies fo far above the level, here is plenty of water
after digging a moderate depth : and in a little
ground belonging to the reCtor is a fpring ftrongly
impregnated with fteel. On the top of the hill is a
very high elm, which, before the great ftorm in
1703 (when near the third part was broken off
from the top) ferved as a land-mark to thofe who
failed in the channel, and might be plainly difcerned
from the hills that lie above Yarmouth in the Me of
Wight. It is (till a. very large tree.
In.Domefday Book4, there were two parcels of
land called Celberge, that bear fome refemblance to
Chalbury ; but they feem rather to belong to F..
and W. Cb 5 1 bury , and Chalbury may be included in
Didlington, or fome neighbouring place.
We have no very ancient accounts of this place j
the firft we meet with is 5 H. VI. John Arney , at
his death, held this manor and that of Didlington,
Horton, Udding, and Radipole of the king, as of
his duchy of Lancafter, by one fourth of a knight’s
fee, value per annum 100 s. Thomas his fon and
heir, mt. 6 b. 7 H. VIII. Thomas Arney, at his death,
held the manors of Chalbury and Didlington, 8
meffuages, and 140 acres, of land in Horton, Rad¬
way, and Sutton-Poyntz ; and four meffuages, 850
acres of land in Uddinge, & c. held of the duchy of
Lancafter, by fuit of court at Kingfton-Lacy, Ro*
bert his fon and heir, mt. 7 b. 31 Eliz, thefe manors
were held by Roger Arney, of the queen, as of her
manor of Kingfton-Lacy, by fervice of one fourth
of a fee. Soon after it feems to have fallen to the
crown ; for, 33 Hiz. this manor and advowlop, and
the manor of Didlington, were granted, inter alia ,
to William Tipper and Robert Daw. Yet, 35 II. VIII,
William Herbert, earl of Pembroke , had a grant of
fome lands in this manor, which that family feems
afterwards to have poffeffed entirely, together with
the advowfon ; and afterwards to have fold the ma¬
nor to one of -the earls of Sbaftjbury, to whom it
now belongs.

Farms in this Parifh.
Didlington,
formerly a manor and hamlet, now a tything. and
farm, fituated a mile N. W. from Chalbury. Fad-
red, king of England, gave to his minifter Wulfric ,
and his heirs for ever, five manfes of land at Dide -
lingtune^.- In Domefday Book e the church of St.
Mary of Wiltun held Dedilintone ; it coniifted of five
carucates, worth 7 1. To this houfe it belonged till
the diffolution ; when, 35 H. VIII, a rent of 106 s.
8 d. and yearly fervices iffuing out of the lands late
belonging to John Arney, and the monaftery of
Wilton, were granted to William Herbert , earl of
‘Pembroke. One of his fucceffors alienated it to the
Napiers of More-Crichil, and it now belongs to Hum¬
phry Sturt , efq.
Here was anciently a chapel, now turned into a
farm houfe. About twelve yards of the old wall ftill
remain, where is the lower part of a large window,
and the door is contracted proportionable to the pre-
fent houfe •, the pofts of which are oaken pillars
carved and fluted, fuch as were lometimes in ancient
churches. The font was extant 1743, in a garden
belonging to the houfe. In a field, or meadow (of
very uneven ground), about fifty yards from the
houfe, the foundations of houfes are often met with,
perhaps the ruins of the ancient vill.

Crawford-Ptfmz, Li/f/r-C raw ford, Taren't-Mw^r/fo-
rum , Tarent -Abbey'.
This little vill, which, in conjunction with Tarent-
Prefton, makes a tything, is fituated a mile S. W.
from Tarent-Keynfton, with which iris confounded
by Dr. Tanner, Coker, and others', on account of
their vicinity, and by fome erroneoufly placed in
Wiltfhire.
Whether this is the Craveford Purveyed in Domef-
day Book is very uncertain; poflibly that may be
Great Crawford. If it be fnrveyed under the 'name
of Tarent, it is hill more difficult to diftinguilh it,
there being fifteen vills, or parcels of land, ranged
under that name. We are very much in the dark'
concerning the ancient lords of this vill till it came
to the abbey, wrho feem to have poifeffed it by de¬
grees. In 1293 the lands of the abbefs in Parva-
Crawford were valued at 14 s. 6d. r
After the diffolution, 33 H. VIII, the feite of this
abbey and manor, Northfield 100 acres, Southfield
1 00 acres, Weftfield 54 acre's, Abbey-Croft 40 acres,
Craford-Mead 15 acres, Shapwick-Mead 5 acres,,
lands called Rackheis 12 acres, 80 acres of wood in
Crawford and Keynfton, the common of Keynes-
Down 120 acres, and feveral fmall parcels of land
here, with the manor and advowfon of Tarent-Keyn¬
fton, and lands there, were granted to Thomas Wyat
for lands in Kent in reverfion. 35 H. Vill. the feite
of Parent-Prior, lands in Tarent-Crawford and Ta-
rent-Keynefton, were held in chief by T. Wyat, with
licence to alienate to Francis Dorrel, alias Wyat, fon
of Elizabeth Wyat his miftrefs, one of the daughters
of Edward Dorrel, of Littlecott, let. deceafed, ad
diverfos ufus, value 8 1. 10 s. and pardon to Eliza¬
beth Dorrel for acquiring to her and her heirs this
manor and paftures, &c. in Northfield, Southfield,
Weftfield, &c. 1 Mary the feite of the abbey, the
manor, reffory, and manor of Tarent-Keynefton, were
granted to "Nicholas and Elizabeth Rookivood, and
heirs male, be. 24 Eliz. this manor of Tarent-Mo-
nachorum, alias Tarent-Abbey, was held by ... .
Rookwood, with licence to alienate to Matthew Arun¬

were held in chief by .... Arundel, with licence to

value, 1641, 200 1. per annum, and the old rents of
the manor, 61. 13 s. 8 d. belonging to fir William
Port man , bart. were fequeftered. • It now belongs to
Henry William Portman, efq. of Brianfton.
a little monaftery for nuns, which his fon William
increafed, and among other gifts gave, as the words
of the deed are 5 : Deo G? eijdcm monialibus lot am de-

in dommico meo , excepto pane regie, ei preterea totem
decimam carnis falfce porcina, ct omnem ex vaccinis ,

But though R. de Kahaines was the original foun¬
der, bifhop Poor was the principal one. He was a
native of this place u, lbmetime dean of Salifoury,
confecrated biffiop of Chichefter 1215, and rranf-
lated to Sarum 1217. He began the prefent ftately
cathedral at Sarum, which was not finifired till forty
years after his removal thence to Durham, and dedi¬
cated in the time of bifhop Giles de Bridport, Sept.
3°, 12,58*. He founded, as Dr. Tanner, 1230, a
monaftery of nuns called the Charnel at Tarent, and
dedicated to the B. Virgin and all Saints, and gave
it to the queen, who chofe it for the place of her
burial. He built the hofpital of St. Nicholas for
poor people, near the college of Vaux in Sarum.
He was tranflated to Durham 1228, or, as fome,
1225. He died April 15, 1237, and was buried in
this nunnery : though fome fay it was only his heart*
his body being interred at Durham, where was a
tomb for him. .Leland y has preferved this farther
account of him :

This is the principal manor, to which the pa¬

were the Cfrewajis, a different family from that at
Hooke, though perhaps a branch of it. 20 E. III.
John Cifrewaff held here half a knight’s fee, for¬
merly held by Walter de Durneford. 21 E., III.

IVtncheJler, arid his heirs, his whole eftate \totum

by gift of Matilda, who was wife of Roger Cifrewaff z.
1 R. II. G odfry Gyfrewaff granted to William Vi'ick-

Of the'heireffes of the Cifrewafts, one, and per¬

thy, the furviving one, feems to have parted with
this manor, either by bale or gift, to the Napiers,
defcended from a noble and ancient family in Scot¬
land ; of whom we have a full account infertcd in the
pedigree of the Napiers of More-Crichel, as follows :
“ Know ye* that I, fir Archibald Naper, of Mer-
“ chiffon, in the kingdom of Scotland, knt. deputv-
“ treafurer, and one of his majefty’s privy-council
“ there : Forafmuch as my entirely-beioved kinfman,

“ county of Bedford, knt. and bart. ; fir Nathanael
“ Napier, of Middlemarlh-Hall, knt. ; John and llo-
“ bert Napier, of Puncknoll, in the county of Dor-
“ let, efqrs. ; being defirous to be informed of their
“ pedigree and defcent from my houfe; I have (to
“ fatisfy their lawful and laudable requell herein)
“ declared the truth thereof, and the original of our
“ name, as, by tradition from father to fon, we have
“ generally, and without any doubt, received the
“ fame. That one of the ancient earls of Lenox,
“ in Scotland, had iffue three fons : the eldeft
“ [Alexander] fucceeded him in the earldom of Le-
“ nox. The fecond, whofe name was Donald ; and
“ the third named Gillchrift. [He, for killing two
“ of the abbot of Paifley’s fervants, for frilling in the
“ river of Linbren, lived outlawed all his life-time
“ among the hills of Arrachar. His father gave the
“ lands of Kilpatrick to the faid abbey* for fatif-
“ faftion of the offence. From him are defcended
“ the clan of Outfarlan.] Alexander, the then king
“ of -Scotts, having warrs, did convocate his leiges
“ to the battle ; amongft whom, he that commanded
“ was the earl of Lenox, who (keeping his eldeft
“ fon at home) fent his fecond fon to ferve for him,
“with the forces that were, under his command.
“ This battle went hard with the Scots ; for the
“ enemy preffing furioufly upon them, forced them
“ to give ground, untill at laft they fell to flat run-
“ ning away ; which being perceived by Donald, he
i( pulled his father’s ftandard from the bearer thereof,
“ and valiantly encountering the foe, being well fol-
“ lowed by the earl of Lenox’s men, he repulfed the
“ enemy, and changed the fortune of the’ day, where-
“ by a great vi&ory was got. After the battle,
“ as the manner is, every one advancing and fetting
“ forth his own affs, the king faid unto them, “Ye
“ have all done valiantly, but there is one amongft
“ you who hath Na-pier and calling Donald into
“ his prefence, commanded him, in regard of his
“ worthy fervice, and augmentation of his honour,
“ to change his name from Lenox to Naper ; and
“ gave him the lands of Gosford, and lands in Fife,
“ and made him his. own fervam : -which difcourfe
“ is confirmed by fundry of my old evidences and
“ teftimonies? wherein we are called Lenox, alias
“ Nap.er. After this, the earldom of Lenox* for
“ want of heir male, fell to daughters ; the eldeft
“ whereof was married to fir John Mentith, of P».osko,
“ who was earl of Lenox during his natural life ; and

The original certificate was . in the hands of fir
Robert Naper, of Enron, from whence the prefent
pedigree of the Napers is taken, which bears this
title :
“ The genealogy of the noble and ancient earls of
“ Lenox, out of which are defcended Naper of Mer-
“ cafton, in the realm of Scotland; fir Robert Na-
“ per, of Luton-Hoo, c. Bedford, knt. and bart. ;
“ fir Nathanael Naper, of Middlemarfh-Hall, c. Dor-

“ c. Oxenford ; and many other families of that
“ name, being howfes of good worth. Collected and
“ gathered for John Naper and Robert Naper, efqrs.
“ fons of William Naper, of Punkenoll, in the county
i( of Dorfet, efq. by Jacob Chaloner, of the city
(( of London, gent, in the fecond year of king
“ Charles I. 1626.”
This pedigree has been continued at feveral times
down to the prefent time. The former part of it is
contained in the certificate above-mentioned. I fhall
therefore begin the pedigree of this family at the time
it firft came into this county.

GUSSICH, or GUSSAGE St. MICHAEL,
Middle - G u (Ta ge, Guflage Dinant , or G ullage-
a pretty large vill, fituated in a vale, on a little ri¬
vulet, which runs through it, a mile N. W. from
Lower-Gufiage.
In Domefday Book % the earl of Moriton held
Geffic. It confifted of 12 carucates, worth 15 1.
Before the date of ancient records, it Teems to
have belonged to the Dinants , a very ancient family
of this kingdom, and to have taken its name of dif-
tindlion from them; for in the Kalend. Muniment,
of Shafton- Abbey, mention is made of a charter,
fans date, of Alan de Divan, or Dinan , relating to
the church of Guftich St. Michael : and in the
Bodleian copy of Pope Nicholas’s valor, 1291, it is
Piled, Guffich-Denaunte , a corruption, no doubt, for
Dinant. This Alan de Dinant is probably the fame
perfon mentioned by fir William Dugdale b, who
came out of Britany, and had the lordihip of Burton,
c. Northampton, given him by king Henry I. and
was afterwards a firm adherent to king Stephen, and
occurs in a great foil of that prince, a. r. 5. But
how long it continued in this family is not known.
• .58 H. III. WUliam de la Pentiz , at his death, held
this manor c. After this it came to the ancient and
noble family of the Bohuns, earls of Hereford and
Effiex ; but the Mortimers earls of March were lords -
paramount-. 20 E. 1. John de Bohun, at his death,
held this manor of Humphry de Bohun, earl of
Hereford,, by lervice of paying a pair of gloves, for
all femces, at Michaelmas : Henry his Ton and heir,
mt. 15 c. 20 E. III. the tenants of Henry de Guf-
fiche held here, in the hundred of Badbury, a fourth
of a fee, formerly held by him. 34 E. III. William
de Bohun held it at his death, for term of life; of
the inheritance of Edward, Ton and heir of the late
earl of March c. 46 E. 111. Humphry de Bohun, earl
of Hereford and Eftex, held at his death the manor
of Guftiche St. Michael, held of him by Edmund
earl of March, as of the manor of Farleigh Mona-
chorum, by fervice of one knight’s fee ; the manors
of Frome- Whitfield, Thornton, Bradeford, Muckie-
ford, Bretham juxta Guftich, Sere Regis, Up ^ in¬
born, . . . i and Cric'hel-.Parvaj In him ended this
great family, of whom fee an account iri Dugd. Baron,
t. J. 179- — 187, and Monaft. Ang. vol. I. 445;
7 H. V. John Mortimer , chev. held at his death
this manor of Guffiche-Bohun, of the prior of Far¬
leigh -Monachorum : Edmund his brother and hear4.
16 IT. VI. it was found, that Roger Mortimer, earl
of March , was feifed of this manor; and 18 R. II.
gave it to Edmund his brother, and his heirs, to be
held by icutage and fervice of one fee, on condition
that if the faid Edmund died without heirs, Roger
fliould enter, &c. Now the faid manor fhould de-
feend to Richard duke of York, bccaule the faid
Edmund died without heirs c. Hence it came to the;
crown. 1 E. IV. and 1 R. Ilf. it was granted to
Cecilia duchefs of York: 7 H. VlL to queen Eliza¬
beth. 9 H. VIII. it was in the king’s hands ; for
it appears by the computus of Thomas Thornhull,
the king’s receiver for Dorfet and Somerfet, that he
received at Michaelmas of John Shoppherd, prepo-
fitus of this manor, de exitu officii fui , for this year,
43 1. 18 s. 10 d. ; for wood fold, 13 d ; and for per-
quifites of court, 60s. 8 d. 32 H. VIII. it was
granted to queen Catharine Howard-, 34 H. VIII.-
demifed to Thomas Strode ; and 35 H. Vlil. to queen
Catharine Par . 1 E. VI. the liberties of the foreft
and chafe here v/ere granted to Edward duke of So¬
merfet. 4 and 5 Philip and Mary, the feite of the
manor was granted to Walter Dobbes for 30 years,-
paying 13 1. per ann. 2 Eliz. the reverfion of the
feite of the manor, and lands here, and the advowfon of
the rettery, were granted to William Winter and Ed¬
ward Bafshe , elqrs. and their heirs, to be held by
the twentieth part of a knight’s fee, val. 33 k 6 s.
8 L d. 6 Eliz. they had licence to alienate the pre-
mifes, and 80 melTuages here, to Charles Vaughan,
and heirs. 39 Eliz. Charles Vaughan died feifed of
the premifes c. In 1645, fir George Vaughan, lent,
had his old rents of this manor, val. 19 1. 16 s. 6 d.
and a farm, valued 1641 at 130 1. per annum, ft-
queftered. Frederic his brother fucceeded him, and
was re&or of this place, and prebendary of Sarum,
in which cathedral he was interred 1662 ; as was his
fon Walter , 1661, and his grandlon Walter , 1662.
How it paITed afterward I have not been able to dif-
cover. It now belongs to the right honourable the
earl of AJhburnham.

nor tradition give us 'the leaft account of.
Hawneeerne, a farm, where wereformerly feated
a family of the Hides of Wiltfh'ire. '• 5 E. VI. a mef-

The Church,
dedicated to St. Michael , is an handfome fabric, con¬
fiding of a chancel, body, and two ides, over which
are windows in the body on each fide, and two at
the E. end, over the chancel. The tower is pretty
high, and embattled, and contains five bells.
The Rectory.
In 1291 a portion of five marks was paid out of
this reftory to the prior of Wareham. The ancient
patrons were the abbots, &c. of Lyra in Normandy,
and, about the year 1600, the earls of Pembroke.
On the fuppreffion of alien monafteries, the advow-
fon was given to the priory of Shene, in Surry. 4

The Church is a very fmall building, dedicated
to Sc. Kenelm, and contains nothing remarkable.
In 1291, it is filled the reftory [ecclefia] de Stan-
brig. It is fuppofed anciently to have been a chapel
belonging to Winburn-Minker, where they flid bury,
for there is no church-yard here.

This village is fituated in a level country, two
miles N. E. from Little-Hinton, and receives its
additional name from its ancient lords, the Martels.
In Domefday Book r, the king held Hineton. it
confiked of 12 carucates, worth 13 h 5 s. Several
parcels of it were held by fome ecclefiakics. The
church of Winburn held a hide and a half, and half
a virgate, worth 6 1. 7 s. 6 d. It is probable, Little-
Hinton is included in this lurvey.

MORTON,
Hortuna,
is a village of a. pretty large extent, and lies two
miles E. from More-Crichel. Here is a pottery for
all kind of earthen wares. Leland k gives us this
account of it : “ From Wimborn to Horton four
u miles, much by woody ground. This was fum-
“ tyme an hedde monaftry, fyns a cell to Shirburn.
“ The village was now a late brent. Here is a little
“ broke that goith by the bottom of the toun, and
“ thereabout has two little briges on it, and goith
“ towards St. Giles Aicheley into Winburn.”
The aocient lord, in the Saxon age, was O.rdgar ,
earl of Devon, who gave it to the abbey. In Domef-
day Book *, Hortune belonged to the abbey of Hor -
tune. It confifted of feven carucates, two of the belt
of which, in the foreft of Winburn, the king held.
To this abbey belonged a little church in Winburn,
with land, and three houfes there. In Wareham, a
church [the Holy Trinity] and five houfes, and a
rent of 65 d. and one houfe in Dorchefter. In 1293,
the lands of the prior of Hortune here were valued at
4 1. 17 s. 4di m 2 H. VII. Thomas Arundel held this
manor of the abbot of Sherborn. After the diffolu-
tion it was granted, 1 E. VI. together with the cell
or priory, redory and advowlon of the vicarage, and
the chapel of Knolton, late parcel of Sherborn abbey,
to Edward duke of Somerfet, and 7 E. VI. to the
earl of Pembroke , val. 17 1. 7 s. 9 d.; by which fa¬

[A] Probably the fame perfort who was lieutenant-governor of Flulhing, and diftinguiihing himfelf in the Low Country wars, was much
efteemed by fecretary Cecil, who employed him in putting the fea-coall of this county into a ftate of defence, 1588 — 1599. Several of
his letters are extant in Collins’s Memoirs of the Sydney family.
The heirs of this family fold it, about 1697, to
fir Anthony Sturt , of London, knt. ; who dying at
his feat at Heckfield, 1741, left it to his fon Hum -

Adjoining to the church, on the fpot where tlie

now of the Sturts, who rebuilt it about 1718, and
it has been enlarged and beautified by the prefent
owner. On laying the foundation of a new apart¬
ment a few years ago, large quantities of bones
were found, and fevcral bodies buried in boots and
fpurs.
Mr. Sturt has lately made, near his feat; one of
the fin eft pieces of water in England, occupying
200 acres. On digging to make an head to it, about
twenty feet below the furface, was found a ftratum
of oyfter and other kinds of fhells ; the latter feemed
ftrongly impregnated with ere; and Appeared fiivered
over.
An obfervatory was lately built a little fouth of
the houle.
The Abbey, or P r i t> r y,
called, in the Saxon times, Hordimfrifit Cenobium, was
of the Benedictine order, founded in the reign of
king Edgar, 961, by Orgar, earl of Devon. It was
lirft ere&ed in a wood, but was, in Malmfbury’s time °,
deftroyed. Others fay it was founded by his fon Or-
dulph. This Orgar is faid to have been a perfon of
gigantic ftature, and could extend his legs, from one
bank to another, a-crofs a river ten feet broad, which
ran near the foreft here full of deer, whofe heads
he uled to amufe himfelf with chopping off with a
fmall knife into the dream as he f trad led over itC
His fon Ordulph, or Edulf, inherited his father’s
fire and ftrCngth, and, with the greateft eafe ima¬
ginable, forced open the gates of Exeter, when
barred and locked, tearing down part of the wall
alono- with them ; and not content with thefe marks
of his prowefs, with a fingle ftroke of his foot made
the doors fly off their hinges, and (hivered the wood.
He finifhed Taviftoke abbey, which his father had
begun 861 : the foundation charter gives Ordult all
the merit of it E But all the ftoutnefs of this mighty
man was not a match for death, which took him off
in the prime of life, A. D. 971. He had a daughter
named Alfrida, famous for her beauty, and marriage,
firft with Ethelwolde, earl of the Eaft-Angles, and
afterwards with king Edgar, whofe fen Edward fell a
martyr to her ambition, as her firft husband had done
before r. According to Mr. Prince, his Tepulchre
might have been feen, not long fince, at Taviftoke.
Hef ordered his body to be buried at Hortune; which
church being to receive fome confiderable marks of
his bounty at the lame time [yerumtamen quia fecum
quadarn ecclefta danda demandaverat ], the violence of
abbot Sithricius prevented it, transferring both the
doner and the donation to his own houfe [datorem
& data pariter transferees in fua\ This abbot, in
the fame fpirit with which he had perverted Onyar’s
benefaffion, in the time of William the Conqueror
turned pirate, to the difgrace of his profeffion, com¬
mitted facrilege [religionem polluit ], and burnt the
church, probably, of this place. Roger I, bifliop of
Sarum, by the grant of king Henry 1. annexed the
remains of this abbey, and its poffeffions, to Slier-
born, 1122, according to the annals of Margam, or,
as William of Malmsbury, 1139. Thus it became
a priory fubordinate to that monaftery ; or, as I e-
land s expreffes it, “ was fumtyme an hedde mona-
“ fterie, a Celle to Shirburne.” He was buried with
his mother and brother, another fon of Orgar l, at
Taviftoke, where remains an arch, in which, tradition
fays, a vaft tomb once Hood. Our hiftorians ftem
to confound him and his father together in fome in-
ftances u. The abbey being fo early ruined, we are
not now to expeeft any traces of it *. We know not
what arms it bore ; whether thofe of its founder,
which Mr. Prince, though, I think, hot juftly, fup-
pofes were impaled with thole of Taviftoke Abbey, in
the window of the Bear-Inn, Exeter ; but they might

feiiin to be given to the abbefs of Tarcnt of lands
here given by Peter de Meaulent a. 14 Eliz. fifteen
acres of land in the common Helds here, concealed
by the church-wardens, were granted to Edward
Grimjhn, efq. and his heirs.
The chapel and chapel-yard are furrounded by a
pretty large and deep circular entrenchment, without
any entrance ; the area contains about an acre. It
is quite diftintt from the chapel-yard, which is
ealily diftinguifhed from it, and is of an oblong
figure, nearly approaching to a long fquare. The
fpace between the chapel-yard and the intrenchment
is very unequal, and contains feveral tumuli, and
their refpeftive hollows, from whence perhaps they
were dug. About twenty yards from the former
intrenchment is another, which either was, or was
intended to have been, much larger. It is only a
fegment of a circle, lefs than a femicircle, and has
two large gaps in it. In fome parts the vallum is
high, and the ditch broad ; but in others the ram¬
part decreafes till it becomes level with the plane of
the hill, and feems intended to indofe fifteen acres.
There . is only one entrance at the W. On every fide,
near two miles round, are many tumuli, feveral of
which have been opened, but no coins, armour, or
bones found. In the adjoining fields are many other
works of this nature.
The chapel confifls of a chancel, a body, and N.
ifle equal to it, and a tower which ferves for a land¬
mark, and was a chapel of eafe to Horton, to which
it was always annexed. In 1550 fir Richard Saun¬
ders was curate here, when there were three bells
in the tower. After 1650 it lay unfrequented many
years, till, about forty years lince, it was repaired
and frequented. The roof afterwards fell in, and
the bell was taken away by fome people of Stur-
minftei-Marfhal, but recovered, and was lately in
the pofTeffion of Mr. Seymour. This chapel has not
been officiated in for many years.
The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that
the parfonage was worth 65 1. per annum ; Mr.
Richard Uvedale patron •, Mr. Thomas Bragg in¬
cumbent, who has alfo 5 or 61. yearly out of Hor¬
ton ; the tithe of corn of Knoll farm, worth 6 1.
per annum, payable to Lidlinch, ought to be united
to knolton ; Knolton is conveniently fituated for
the inhabitants of Knolton and Woodlands ; and Hor¬
ton church being too little to contain both parifhes,
they ought not to be united, but defire a chapel-yard
at Knolton. Mr. Bragg preaches every Lord’s-day,
in the morning at Knolton, and at Horton in the
afternoon ; they delire a minifter to officiate cou-
ftantly at Knolton. , ■ \
Baggeridge, or Baggeridge-Street, feems formerly
to haye been a hamlet. Its lituation and name is now
fcarcely known, and only occurs in ancient records.
34 E. I. Robert Baggeridge held a mefluage and
twenty acres of land in Woodland of the king, by
fervice of 23. rent-, Alice Wither and Alice Bag¬
geridge, &c. his filler and daughters his heirs A
10 E. III. John le Bottler held a melTuage in Bag-
geridge-Street, in the hundred of Knolton, and 30
acres of land in the vill of Knoll ; and a mefluage
and 50 acres of land of Walter de Wylton Thomas
his fon and heir, aged 35 A 18 E. II. Ifabella Bag¬
geridge Street held the fame-, John Wyther her fon

Woodlands,
a manor and farm, which feems to derive its name
from its woods among which it lies, two miles S. E.
from Knolton, in Knolton-hundred. Here is a fair
kept July 5, removed from Knolton.
In this manor, in the midfl of an heath, between
the roads leading to Ringwood and Fordingbridge,
is an enclofure of feveral fields, in one of: which, in
a ditch, under an afhen tree, inferibed with feveral
names, and vifited by the curious, was taken the un¬
fortunate duke of Monmouth, after his flight from
the battle of Sedgemoore, in Somerfetfhire. Seve¬
ral of our hifforians will have him to be taken at
Ringwood, Holt, &c. but that it really happened
here is proved by the teftimony of feveral perfons
lately living, who remembered the fadf.
Here was anciently a park belonging to the Filiols.
This manor anciently belonged to Nicholas de Moeles ,
of Cadbury, who gave it in frank-marriage with his
daughter Agnes, fecond wife to William de Brewofa ,
baron of Gower in Brecknockfhire. By her he had
fir Giles, lord of Knolton and Woodlands, who died
33 E. I. His fon, John , left an only daughter, mar¬
ried to ... . Frome, near Woodlands. Mr. Pitt’s
MS. lays, that William de Brewofa, lord of Gower,
who died 19 E. I, married, ift, Mary, widow of
Ralph de Cobham, by whom he had no iflue ; 2d,
Agnes, daughter of Nicholas de Moeles, by whom
he had Giles ; 3d, Ifabel, daughter of G. de Clare,
earl of Gloucefter, by whom he had William, who
fold Gower 14 E. II. Giles de Brewofa, fon of Wil¬
liam, married Matilda, daughter of Euftacius de
Whitney, c. Hereford, by whom he had John Brewes,
of Buckinghamlhire, and Matilda , married to William
Frome of Woodland, one of whofe coheirefles brought
it to William Filiol, whofe anceftors, of knights de¬
gree, came out of Eflex, and of whom one married
an heirefs of the Whalleys of Langton. 14E. II.
Giles de Brewofa held, at his death, the manor of
Wodelond and hundred of Knolton, of the heirs of
Nicholas de Moeles, as of gift of frank-marriage,
made to William, father of the faid Giles; alfo one
acre of land in Wodelond, called Herodes Acre, of

The family of Filiol, took its name from Fi Holes, in French Filleul. , or Godfon, as appears by a feal appendant to a grant of William
Filiol to Cogelhale-abbey in Eflex [1], which has a reprefentation of a font, a king on one lide, and a hifhop on the other,
holding a child as in the ceremony ot baptifm ; fo that the furname feems given by fome king of England to one of their an-
ceftors at the time of baptifm. Their name occurs in fome of the rolls of Battle-abbey, among thole who came in with the
conqueror. A branch of them held the manor of Filiols* vulgarly Felix-hall, c. Ellex, in which county they held lands t. Steph.
all'o the manor of Kelvcdon, or Keldon there; but this branch was extinct about 1345. William, fecond fon of fir John
Filiol, who died 1332, married a daughter of Wfellh, or Wallis, of Langton, and became founder of the family of Filiol in
Doriet, and of Old-Hall in Rayne, C. Eflex, which continued till 1720. They had very early a concern in Dorfet, before
t. E. I. Tierricus, fon of Roger de Filiol, owed ten marks of filver, to have right of his inheritance, and Adeliz dc Duhcftan-
villa is his pledge [plegia] for it [2]. There was another branch feated at Knight-ftreet, in Marnhull, lately extinct.

Thus Woodland’s, and Knolton, and fome other of
the Filiol eflate, came to fir Edward Willoughby, of
Middleton ; whence they defeended to his fon Henry .
His fon fir Francis Willoughby built Wollaton-Houfe,
c. Nottingham, and married, ifl, Elizabeth, daughter
of John Littleton of Frankeley, c. Worcefter, knt.
by whom he had feveral daughters. 2d, Dorothy,
daughter of Thomas Coleby, efq. and relifl of John
Tamworth, efq. afterwards remarried to Philip, lord
Wharton. Dr. Thoroton tells us, this lady made
advantage of the declining time of her hufband, and
his great eflate, if we may believe report ; and that
fir Francis conveyed fome of his lands, c. Notting¬
ham, to her truftees, or feoffees, whofe heirs claimed
them.
Sir Francis Willoughby fettled on his fecond lady,
afterwards lady Wharton, in this county, lands, &c»
at
Maperton, Kingflon-Lacy,
Winterborn-Kingfton,. Little-Hcrringflon,
- Mufterton, Came, or Cripton,
- Whitchurch, Chick erel,
Blockfworth, Stokeley in Bere-Regis,
Wefl-Morden, Dodingbere in ditto.
Langton-Herrirrg and ad¬
vowfon.
Whether they were fettled on her only for life, does
not appear ; but it is certain {he found means to
tranfmit them to her heirs by lord Wharton, ift,
Bridget married to William Mullens of Sheffield, c.
Hants, efq. 2d, Elizabeth, to fir . Rerelby,
c. York ; 3d, fir George Dalfton, c. York. Lady
Rerefby remarried, ifl, lord Monfon ; 2d, Adam Fel-

H O R
ton, efq. who, and their heirs, held them in thirds;
and by degrees alienated them. But a fraud was
fufpe&ed ; and, on fir Francis Willoughby’s death,
169c, a great conteft arofe, r 597 , between fir Per-
cival Willoughby, who married Bridget, el deft
daughter to fir Francis, by his firft lady, on whom
he fettled a confiderable part of his eftate, and lord
and lady Wharton. Sir Percival attempted to fufler
a recovery, in order to bar the remainder in ufe, li¬
mited to the firfi fon of fir Francis, and difinherit the
iflue in venire . Lady Willoughby was delivered of a
poft’numous daughter. This contefl feems to have
been decided in favour of lord and lady Wharton,
by lord Bacon, then lord chancellor, not without
imputation of bribery to that great and unfortunate
man, and was made one of the articles of impeach¬
ment againft him e.
A farther account of the Willoughbys, of Middle-
ton, c. Warwick, and Wollaton-Hall, c. Nottingham,
array be found in-Dugdale’s Warwickfhire f, and Tho-
roton’s Hiftory of Nottingham g.
Dorothy , fecond daughter and coheir of fir Francis
Willoughby, brought this part of the eftate to
Henry Ha/tings ;• efq. fecond fon of George earl of
Huntingdon. In 1645 his eftate here, value, 1641,
300 1. per ann. was fequeftered. He afterwards com¬
pounded for it for 500 1. He died 1650, and was
buried in the Haftings ifte here, where fee his epi-
taph.
The following remarkable character of him, Laid
to be written in gold letters, is under a picture of Mr.
Haftings, at a feat of lord Shaftfbury’s h.
“ In the year 1638 lived Mr. Haftings, by his
“ quality fon, brother, and uncle to the earl of
“ Huntingdon. He was peradventure an original in
“ our age, or rather the copy of our ancient nobility,
<f in hunting, not in warlike times. He was low,
“ very ftrong, and very aftive, of a reddifh flaxen
“ hair ; his cloaths always green cloth, and never
“ worth, when new, five pounds. His houfe was
“ perfectly of the old falhion, in the midft of a
“ large park, well flocked with deer ; and near the
houfe, rabbits for his kitchen ; many filh-ponds ;
“ great ftore of wood and timber ; a bowling-green
“ in it, long but narrow, full of high hedges, it
“ being never levelled fince it was ploughed ; they
<c ufed round fand bowles, and it had a banquetting-
<e houfe like a ftand, a large one built in a tree.
“ He kept all manner of fport hounds, that ran
“ buck, fox, hare, otter, and badger, and hawkes
“ long and fhort winged. He had all forts of nets
for fifh. He had a walk in the New Foreft, and
“ the manor of Chriftchurch ; this laft fupplied him
O N.

a
with red deer, fea, and river-fifh ; and indeed all
“ his neighbours grounds and royalties were free to
<e him, who beftowed all his time on thefe fports,
“ but what he borrowed to carefs his neighbours
“ wives and daughters, there being not a woman in
“ all his walks, of the degree of a yeoman’s wife,
“ or under, and under the age of forty, but it was
“ her own fault, if he was not intimately acquainted
“ with her. This made him very popular ; always
“ fpeaking kindly to the hufband, brother, or fa-
te ther, who was to boot very welcome to his houfe.
“ Whenever he came there he found beef, pud-
<( ding, and fmall beer in great plenty : the houfe
“ not fo neatly kept as to fliame him or his dirty
“ (hoes * the great hall ftrewed with marrow-bones i
“ full of hawkqs, perches, hounds, lpanniels, and
“ terriers; the upper fide of the hall hung With
“ fox-ikins of this arid the laft year’s killing ; here
“ and there a pole-cat intermixed ; game-keepeii
“ and hunters poles in great abundance. The par-
“ lour was- a large room, as properly furni filed. Cii
“ a great hearth, paved with brick , lay fome ter-
“ riers, and the choiceft hounds and fpanhiels. Sel-
“ dom but two of the great chairs had litters of cars
“ in them, which were not to be difturbed : he
“ having always three cr four attending him at din-
“ ner, and a little white Hick of fourteen inches
“ long lying by his trencher, that he might defend
“ fuch meat that he had no mind to part with to
<{ them. The windows, which were very large,
“ ferved for places to lay his arrows, crofs-bows,
“ and ftone-bows, and fuch like accoutrements ; the
t( corners of the room full of. the beft-chofen hunt-
u ’ng> °r hawking, poles.; his oyfter-tabie at the
“ lower end, which was of conftant ufe, twice a-day,
all the year round, for he never failed to eat
“ oyfters, both dinner and fupper-time, all feafens :
“ the neighbouring town of Poole fupplied him with
“ them. The upper part of the room had two
“ fmall tables, and a defk, on the one fide of "Which
“ was a Church-Bible, and on the other fide, the
“ Book of Martyrs : on the tables were hawkes
“ hoods, bells, and fuch like ; two or three old
“ hats, with their crowns thruft in, fo as to hold
“ ten or, a dozen eggs, which were of the pheafant
“ kind of poultry ; thefe he took much care of, and
“ fed himfelf. Tables, dice, cards, and boxes, were
“ not wanting. In the hole of the defk were ftore
“ of tobacco pipes that had been ufed. On one
“ fide of this end of the room was the door of
“ a clofet, wherein flood the ftrong beer and the
“ wine, which never came from thence but in (ingle
“ glaffes, that being the rule of the houfe, exactly
“ obferved ; for he never exceeded in drink, or per-
“ mi teed it. On the other fide was the door of an
“ old chapel, not ufed for devotion ; the pulpit, as
“ the fafeft place, was never wanting of a cold
chine of beef, venifon-pafty, gammon of bacon,
or a great apple-pye, with thick cruft, extremely
“ baked. His table coft him not much, though it
“ was g"ood to eat at. Flis fports fupplied all but
“ beef or mutton, except Fridays, when he had the
“ beft of falt-fifh, as well as other fiftl he could get;
“ and this- was the day his neighbours of beft qua¬
lity vifited him. He never wanted a London
pudding, and always fung it in, “ With my pert
eyes * thereina.” He drank a glafs or two of
“ wine at meals ; very often put fyrtip of gilly-
“ flowers in his fade, and had always a tun-gjafs,
“ without feet, ftood by him, holding a pint of
“ fmall beer, which he often ftirred with rofemary.
“ He was well-natured, but foon angry, calling his
“ fervants Baftards and Cuckoldrv Knaves, in one of
“ which he often fpoke truth, to his own knowlege,-
t( and fometimes in both, though of the fame man.
“ He lived to be an hundred, and never loft his
“ eye-fight, but always wrote and read without fpec-
“ tacles, and got on horfeback without help. Un-
“ till pall fourfeore, he rode to the death of a flag
“ as well as anyfl’

This humorous character is fuppofed to have been
drawn by fir Anthony Afhley Cooper, afterwards e?rl
of Shaftfbury. Thefe two gentlemen lived near each
other, and perhaps upon no good terms : their prin¬
ciples and conduct were quite different, one being
firmly attached to the king, the other to the parlia¬
ment ; fo that fomc private refentment might occafion
this fatyrical account.
All our Peerages are miftaken about this extra¬
ordinary man, whom they make a knight. Jacob
gives, him a fecond wife, Mrs. Jane Langton, who is
mentioned by Dugdale k.
Mr. Raftings, by his lady, who died 1638, had
iffue fir George, who died 1651, who by .
daughter of lord Petre, had two fons, Edward, who
died 1564, and John, who died 16 56, without rffue ;
and tWo daughters, Frances, who married John Ro'y
of London, merchant ; and Dorothy , who married
.... Eyres, counfellor at law ; fo that the eftate
came to the Roys, of whom fee more in Piddletown.
John Roy, jun. fon of the former, dying 1668, f. p.
Frances his lifter became his heir, who maried Samuel
Roll of Heanton, c. Devon, efq. who about 1710,
fold this eftate to ... . Seymour, of the hanaper-
office, grandfather to the late Edward Seymour, efq.
who died 1767, aet. 75, and was fucceeded by his
nephew fir Henry Monro, bart. of Foulis in Scot¬
land.
Here is the feat formerly of the Haftings, now of
the Seymours, rebuilt by the latter, in part of
which is a chapel endowed with 5 1. per ann. out of
the great tithes of the demefne lands.
Charleton, a farm of which we have no an¬
cient account.
Frome, a place now fwallowed up in Woodlands,
and its name loft : but it anciently gave name to a
family, whd were lords of Woodlands, whofe heirefs
brought it to the Filiols.
Matterly, a farm of which we have no an¬
cient account.
The Church of Horton
is fituated near the feat of Humphry Sturt, efq. It
was almoft wholly rebuilt about 1720 ; when, by its
ruinous condition, it feemed to be very ancient, and
the remains of the priory church. Between the
body and chancel flood a tower with five bells, which
was then pulled down, and the bells difpofed of.
It was dedicated to St. Wolfrlde, mother to St. Edith
abbefs of Wilton 1401.
In the chancel, on the N. fide of the altar, was
an ancient monument of the Filiols, but much de¬
faced. On the right hand was an effigies in brafs,
but fo injured as fcarce to leave room to guefs what
it was : out of the mouth proceeded a label, on
which was inferibed in old charafters, (2£ fecunDltm
multttu&mcm miferattonu’ fuaru\ oclc miquitatem
meant ; over the head, the arms of Filial. On the
left was the effigies of a woman, out of whofe mouth
iffued a label, with spiferer? mei SDcus s’c’oum
ntagnam m’tam tuarn; and over head a coat of
arms. Between thefe two was a third figure on
brafs, to whom the others feemed to addrefs them-
felves. Under thefe three figures was a brafs plate,
which probably bore the infeription, and juft over
it an efcotcheon. Below this, on the altar tomb,
was the figure of a woman on brafs, but no in¬
feription.
On the fouth fide of the altar is another monu¬
ment, in the middle of which is a brafs plate, and
on it this infeription :

On the right hand of this infeription is the effi¬
gies of Mr. Uved ale with his three fons, with their
arms over head : on the left his lady,, with an
efcotcheon over her head.
Under this, on a ftone, this infeription :
The body of Mrs. Victoria Uvedale (daughter of
William Uvedale, efq. and Elizabeth his
wife) who died the 3d day of June, A. D.
1680, aged 6 years and 9 months, is interred
under this marble, which is laid upon her, by
the will of her dear aunt, Mrs. Lucy Uvedale,
who lies buried in this chancel.
On a ftone, without the rails of the altar ;
Here lieth the body of Mr. Daniel Rebreair,
minifter of this parilh, who departed this
life Oftober the 15th, aged 84 years, 1719.
Next to this, on another ftone :
Here lieth interred the body of Anne Hopper,
daughter and coheir of Mr. Thomas Hopper,
and Anne his wife, of the parifli of St. Bo-
tolph, Bilhopfgate, London, who departed
this life the 7cli of April, A. IX 1680, zeta-
tis 23.
In the belfry of the old church, was an Hie be¬
longing to the family of the Haftings, where was
this monument :
The honourable
Henry Haftings of Woodland,
fecond fon to George
Haftings, E. of Huntingdon,
departed this life the 5th
of O&ober, 1650, zetatis 99,
and Dorothy his wife, one of
the coheirs of fir Francis
Willoughby, kt. of Woollaton
in the county of Nottingham,
who departed this life the 5th
of December, 1638,
mtatis 84.
And fir George Haftings, kt.
their fon and heir,
who died 25th of Oftober, ’ 1651, zetafis 63.
On the floor underneath are three grave ilones,
with their refpeclive names.
, In the Haftings ifle was an effigies of a perfort
crofs-legged, with an imperfeft infeription, of which
only remains, ^11110 SDomutt . mmc quicfdt

The Rectory.
In 1291 it was valued at ten marks, when a pen-
fton of 2 s. was paid out of it to Sherborn monaftery,
and of 2 s. 6d. to the vicar of Guftage All Saints.
It was very anciently appropriated to the priory, and
has always been veiled in the lords of the manor
iince the Reformation. Humphry Sturt , efq. is the
prefent impropriator and patron.

The return to the commiftion, 1650, was, that
Mr. Richard Uvedale and his predecelfors were pa¬
trons. The vicarage, with the chapel of Knolton
annexed, was worth 24 1. per ann. Mr. Thomas
Bragg incumbent, who has only the tithes of Knol¬
ton for his falary, which chapel is more than a mile
from Horton church, to which they think it fit to be
united, as moft of the inhabitants are as far diflant
from the chapel as from Horton church, where they
bury. The tithe of corn of Knoll-Hill farm, 6 K
per annum was paid to Lidlinch, fifteen miles from
hence which was fit to be united. They define a
minifter relident at Knolton.

SHAPWICK
is a large village, fituated near the river Stour, two
miles S. E. from Spettisbury. It feems to derive its
name from the Saxon Sceap , a Iheep, and Wic, a
village ; perhaps from an uncommon number of
fheep fed here in former ages. And Dr. Skinner
derives the name of the Ifland of Sheppy, in Kent,
from the Anglo-Saxon Sceap-Ea, or Sceap-Ige, i. e.
the ifland of fheep, which abounded there, and is
upon that account called not improperly by Leland,
Ovinia. 52 H. III. a market and fair were granted
here by charter ?. In the furvey of the manor of
Stickland, the tenants were obliged to drive the lord’s
animalia to this market.
In Domefday Book z, Scapuuic is furveyed in
conjunction with Winburn, Chirce [ Crichel ], and
Opewinburne, as one manor ; and was then part of
the king’s lands or demefnes. King Henry I. gave
Scapezvky then a member of Kingfton-Lacy, to the
earl of Mellent ; from whom it defcended to Robert
his fon. Hence it came to Simon de Montfort, earl
of Leicefter •, who lofing his life and forfeiting his
cflate by rebellion, 49 H. III. that king gave the
honour of Leicefter, and this vill, to his younger
fon Edmond earl of Lancaster. See the record more
at large in Kingfton-Lacy, in Badbury hundred,
hereafter.

About the time of E. I. if not before, it was parted
into three manors.
The Manor.
25 E. I. Edmund Plant agenet, earl of Lane after,
the king’s brother, held at his death the manor of
Shapewike, of the king in chief, by fervice of one
knight’s fee. Peter Champayne held three parts of
the faid fee, paying feutage when it happened. Ri¬
chard de Havering held one-fourth of the fame, by
the fame fervice. John dc la Granet held in the fame
vill, of the faid Edmund, half a fee, by the fame
fervice b. 20 E. III. the carl of Warren held here
half a knight’s fee, which the earl of Leicefter for¬
merly held. Roger Champaigne a fourth part, which
Peter Champaigne formerly held. Richard Havcryng
another fourth part, which Richard de Havering for¬
merly held. 21 E. III. this manor was held at his
death by John Warren, earl of Surry, for life, by
leafe [ex dimijfwne ] from Thomas earl of Lancafier.
The reverfion belongs to the heir of the faid Thomas,
and is held of the king in chief, by knights fervice,
as of the honour of Leicefter b. 25 E. III. Henry
duke of Lancafier held this manor, and one-third of
a fee, which Thomas tie Champayne holds, and one-
fourth, which John Capon holds of him b. After¬
wards this manor became part of the purparty of
Maud, wife of William duke of Bavaria, his eldeft
daughter ; who dying g<5 E. 111. it came to J. de
Gaunt, then earl of Richmond, and afterwards duke
of Lancafter, in right of his wife Blanch, the youngeft
daughter. His fon Henry, afterwards king of Eng¬
land, brought it to the crown, vrhere it refted long.
3 H. V. this manor, inter alia , was granted to Henry
archbilhop of Canterbury , Henry bifhop of Winton ,
Thomas bifhop of Durham, &c. by patent, I fuppofe
for fome truft. After this it reverted to the crown,
and, excepting perhaps fome temporary grants, it
remained there till 1 Car. I. This manor and de¬
mefnes were granted to Robert lord Cary, whofe fon,
Henry earl of Monmouth, fold them, 16 Car. I. to
fir John Bankes. In 1635, the old rents of this ma¬
nor, val. 20 1. 1 7 s. 3d. and the farm, value, 1641,
120 1. per annum, belonging to lady Bankes, were
fequeftered. They are now poffeffed by her defeen-
dant, Henry Bankes, efq. This always was the prin¬
cipal manor; and the Lancafter family claimed, and
perhaps once poffeffed, the advowfon. The reft of
the inferior manors, viz. Shapwick-Champayne,
Shapwick-Plecy, or Cammells, and Vinters-Fee are,
or were, fubordinate, and paid acknowledgment.

The pedigree of the Hujfcys^ anciently called Ho/e,
Hufe, Hoefe , and Hufee, de Hofato, and Hofata d, lately
in the poffeffion of Nicholas Gould, of Frome-Belet,
efq. is deduced from very ancient times. A margi¬
nal note gives us this account of this very ancient and
knightly family.
“ Duke Rollo the Stronge was a Saryfon, and
« came out of Denmarke into Fraunce; and there
“ by his valancie and ftrong battailes did fo feare the
“ kinge, that he caufed the king of Fraunce to lliake
“ an agreement, in which agreement it was con-
“ eluded he fhould marrie the kinge’s daughter, and
“ Ihould have with her the dutchy of Normandie iti
<£ marriage. And fo was Rollo the firft duke of Nor-
“ mandie. William Long-Efpe, in Englilh called
u William with the Longe Sword, was the fonne of
<« Rollo, and the fecond duke. Richard fans Pavoyre ,
«c in Englilh called Richard without Feare, was the
“ fonne of William, and the third duke. Richard
“ the fecond was the fonne of Richard, and the fourth
“ duke. Richard the third was the fonne pf Richard,
« and the fifth duke ; which Richard had ifiue Ro-
« bert the fixth duke, and Hellen countefle Hufe.
« Robert begatte William, which was the feventh
<c duke of Normandie. This William was a valiant
man, but illegitimate and bafe-borne; yet he fuc-
“ ceeded his father Robert in the dukedom, and by
“ warlike prowefs arrived alfo in England, and by
« conquelt was crowned kinge of this lande. His
ec mother was the daughter of a certaine citizen of
“ Falefia. The aforefaid countelfe Hellen was the *
“ wife of a nobleman called Hubert Hufe, near to
<£ Ceafarsburg in Normandie ; which Hubert the
“ aforefaid duke William brought into England,
“ with all his natural brethren accordinge to the Belli :
u and when he had conquered this ifle, created the
ie aforefaid Hubert hie conftable there, by means
“ whereof the Paid Hubert got great fubftance. This
“ Hubert had by his wife Hellen William. This
<e William Hufe begate William, William begate
“ Godfryd. This Godfryd was one which did cheefly
u aflift his kinfwoman Maud the emprefie, and Henry
“ her fonne, againfl king Steven. This Godfryd
“ begate Henry and Hubert, king of the Ambages,
“ and lord William Hufe, the religious mouncke of
cc Glaflonbury, and ten brethren more, which weave
“ knights. Henry begate Ralph Hufe, which mar-
cc ried the erirl’s daughter of Warwick. Ralph be-
u gate William, William begate Raynold, Rayno'ld
u begate Edmund Hufe and William Hufe ; fo of the
<c aforefaid Flufes came all the Hufes, which be dif-
“ perfed in the reaulme of England. The richer
“ fort of them do inhabite in the higher parts of the
“ land ; the other towards Poole, or thereabout.
“ This genealogie was written in auncient French,
“ and found in the abby of Glaftonbury, at fuch time
“ as it was fuppreffed by king Henry the Eight.”

SHAPWICK.
Tlie Manor of Vinters, or Vyneres-Fee in
Shapwick,
a finall manor, of which we have little or no account.
Alice, widow of Walter le Vynerc, by a deed, fans
date, gave in frank-marriage, with her daughter
Yfota, to William Creylleboys, ieventeen acres of
land in Shapwick, a field with a houfe, a horfe,
faddle, and a fow with one year’s fare, pafture for
ioo flieep, fix oxen, or other cattle, paying yearly
at Michaelmas, to Alice and her heirs, one pound of
cummin. Ted. D. Ric. de Campan’, D. P*ic. de
llaveringe, &c. That it was a manor, appears from
an extraft of fums to be levied on the tenants, made
at a court held here 19 H. VI. and from fome inqui-
fitions of the Hujfeys , from whom it defeended to the
Wakes and lord Spencer. N. B. The manor of Shap¬
wick, Plecy, and Vinters-Fee are now extinft, and
are part of the manor of Shapwick-Champayne, and
all of them pay acknowledgment to Mr. Bankes, lord
of the principal manor.
The Priory.
Here was a finall priory, or cell, belonging to the
Houfe of Jefus , or Priory of Skene in Surry, of the
Carthufian order, founded by king Henry V, 1414 ;
and perhaps long before a cell to fome foreign
monaftery, with whofe revenues, after their fuppref-
fion, moll of the religious houfes founded in this
and fome following reigns were endowed. 6 H. VIII.
John Joburn, prior of this houfe, granted to Tho¬
mas Hufley, of Shapwick, the elder, gent, twelve
acres of lands in the town-fields there, fometime
belonging to Ralph Shapwick ; fix acres of which
lie N. of Bur-Furlong, and the other fix near Hokyde-
dich, both bounded and marked with Hones new
fetup; and an ham of meadow lying at Syrewall,
weft of Plowingfliam, inclofed with ditches and wa¬
ter ; and common for four beafts on the lands of the
faid Ralph, for the term of thirty years, at the
yearly rent of 8 s. 24 H. VIII. he demifed to James
Dewe, of Spettifbury, all their farm, lands, &c. in
Shapwick, lately held by Nicholas Norton for thirty-
fix years, at the yearly rent of 2 1. 6 s. 8*d. 36
FI. VIII. mefluages, lands, &c. belonging to this
houfe here, were granted for 681 1. 6 s. 4d. to
George Rolls , who, the fame yeaf, conveyed them to
Robert Ryves, and Jane his wife, and heirs. 3 and 4
Philip and Mary Robert Ryves, at his death, held
them, viz. eighty-acres of land, pafture for 140
flieep, four averia, and one horfe, by one twentieth
part of a fee, and 4 s. 8 d. yearly rent, clear yearly

E. I. John Hufee had a grant of a market, fair, and
free warren in W. Hemelfworth s. It belonged to
theHufeesof Moreton l, a family which feems to have
had no connexion with that of Shapwick, who held
it from t. E. I. to t. E. III. After this it came to the
Strodes of Parnham •, for Mr. Strode’s pedigree fays,
that Edmund , fecond fon of Hugh Strode, who
flourifhed t. H. III. gave it to the abbey of Milton,
which pofleflfed it till the diflolution. 35 H. VIII.
the capital manfion and farm, parcel of Milton abbey,
was granted to fir John Rogers, at the rent of 13 s.
4 d. who the fame year had licence to alienate it to
Robert Ryves and heirs. After which it feems to have
paffed to the Hujfeys of Shapwick; for in 1645
George Hufley of Hemfivorth, efq. is faid to have
compounded for his eftate. Hence it came to the
Hoopers of Hum-Court, or Boveridge. Edward

Here wras anciently a free chapel, of which there
are now no remains. In 1291 this reftory [ecclcfa]
was rated in the valor with a non excedit ; and in the
Sarum regifters is ftiled a parochial church : but it
was really (at leaft in later ages) a free chapel, and
as fuch granted, 3 E. VI, to Silvejler Taverner.
Hence it came to the Ryves ; for 3 and 4 Philip and
Mary the free chapel of Weft-Hemfworth, eight

The parifh is one of the moft extenfive in the
county. The town is large, but she ftreets irregular,
and the buildings mean. It is fituated on the river Al¬
len, near its confluence with the Stour, in a large
fruitful vale, well wooded and watered, on a dry gra¬
velly foil, fix meafured- miles N. from Pool, and nine
S. E. from Blanford-Forum, in 1 d. 59 m. of weftern
longitude, and 50 d. 51m. of latitude, as Adams-*
eighty-two computed, and ninety-eight meafured
miles and One quarter from London. It is a very
ancient place, of fome note in the Roman times.
In Richard of Cirencefter’s map, its pofition is af-
certained by its vicinity to the river Alauna, or Stour,
and it is called Venta : in his fixteenth Iter Ventagela-
dia. In Antonine’s Itinerary it occurs by the name
of Vindocladia or Vindogladia : in Ravennas by that
of Bindogladia. The Saxons called it finbupnan', or
Jinhupn an-CQy n pte ji . Simeon Dunelm. and Hen.
Huntingdon IVinburnham.
Vindogladia is derived by Dr. Gale, from the river
Vindo ; by Mr. Baxter, from the Britifh Uind, or
Vind, Caput Fluvii, i. e. the head, or mouth of two
rivers or ditches. Fie fays Cladb, Claiidh, and Cledb,
in the ancient Britifh tongue, fignifies a ditch or
rampart. Aberdogladia in Pembrokelhire, or Mil-
ford-haven, a ford of a mill, is in Welfh Aberdoy-
gledheu , i. e. the mouth of two ditches, or channels
of rivers. Mr. Camden allows it took its name
from its fituation between two rivers, Windugledy in
the Britifh language fignifying between two fwords,
the Britons calling their rivers by the name of fwords,
in a peculiar dialed : thus Aberdugledia before- men¬
tioned implies the mouth of two fwords, becaufe two
rivers called Clediau, Cled, Cledyjf , i. e. fwords, run
into the fea there. Dr. Stukeley derives it from Vint,
white, and Gladb, a river; whence our glade, or val¬
ley where a river runs. The Saxon and the modern
name feem alfo to be taken from rivers, Winbourn
being compounded of Vin, a piece of the old word,
and the Saxon Bourn , a river ; by the addition of
which word they were wont to exprefs the names of
places that ftood by the water- fide. It has the epi¬
thet of Minjler from its church or monaftery, as
well as to diftinguifh it from the other Winbourns.
One may almoft take the liberty to conjedure that Vind,
or Vindo , was the ancient and original name of the river
Allen , which will afford an etymology for Winborn
Sc. Giles, Winborn All Saints, and Upwinborn-
Monkton, all lying near the head of that river :
but it does not quite fuit that of Winborn- Minfter,
which lies indeed at the mouth of the Allen, but
neither at the head or mouth of the Stour.
Camden fays, this town was of great note in
the Saxon times, but he believes upon no other
account, than that it retained fome figns of the
i Reg. Chandler.

Roman magnificence. At prefent nothing of this
kind appears. It was certainly a Roman ftation
and a caftrum hibernum to the caftrum-aeftivum
of Badbury, where fome marks of antiquity have
been found. Here is now but little trade car¬
ried on, and that chiefly in the woollen- m.anufadtory.
The market is on Fridays, and is well frequented.
2 H. III. a precept was lent to the (heriff, that the
market, then kept on Sunday, (hould be kept on
Monday, but this feems to have had no etfeft ;
for Henry Lacy earl of Lincoln, who died 4 E. II.
claimed a market here on Sundays, pojl horam nonam ,
and all the next day. 27 Eliz. the ifilies and profits
of this market were granted to John Molefworth. A
market and fair was granted here 9 H. III. m Here
is a fair for cattle, lately held on Good Friday, but
changed, 1765, to Friday in Eafter-week, on which
day it is to be kept for the future. It is fucceeded
by a market for cattle, which continues for feven
weeks. Two other fairs are kept, June 29, and
Auguft 31. The profits of the market and fairs
anciently belonged to the dean, now to fir William
Hanham , bart. In 1638 four hundred inhabitants of
this town and parifh were buried here, but the na¬
ture of this great mortality is not mentioned in the
regifter.
Sir William Lewin, lord mayor of London 1718,
was born here.
it is highly probable that Matthew Prior, efq.
an eminent ftatefman, and one of the moft cele¬
brated poets of his age, was born here. Tradition
fays, he was educated at this fchool. He does not
occur in the regifter, his parents being fuppofed to
have been Diflenters, which he intimates in his
epiftle to Fleetwood Shepherd, efq.
“ So at the barn of loud Non-con,
“ Where with my grannam I have gone.”
About 1727, one Prior of Godmanfton, a la¬
bouring man, and living 1755, declared to a com¬
pany of gentlemen, where I was prefent, that he
was Mr. Prior’s firft coufin, and remembered his go¬
ing to Winbourn to vifit him, and afterwards heard
he became a great man. The learned Thomas Ba¬
ker, B. D. once fellow of St. John’s college Cam¬
bridge, informed Mr. Brown Willis, that he was
born here of mean parents, to conceal which, he
entered himfelf at college, of Winborn, c. Middle-
fex *. He died 1721, aet. 57, and was buried in the
S. part of the tranfept in Weftminfter-abbey, where
is a monument erefted to his memory.
The defeat of the Danes, A. D. 851, by Kearl, earl
of Devon, has by fome been erroneoufly placed here.
The Saxon Chronicle fays this battle was fought at
Wicganbeorche , which Bilhop Gibfon conjectures to
be Wenbury in Devonfhire, and Florence of Wor-
cefter mandates Wigganbeorh. Simeon Dunelmenfis n
calls it Wincanbeorh , After Wicgambeorg , Huntingdon
Wienorne , or Wienbecrne : and thefe variations have
occafioned the miftake.
A. D. 901, Edward the Elder, at the beginning
of his reign, was oppoied by his coufin german
F.thelwald, fon of his uncle Ethelbert, eldeft bro¬
ther to Alfred} who drew together an inconfiderable
party, and feized cn Winbourn and Chriftchurch
iwynham °, c. Hants. Edward advanced againft
him with a confiderable army, and encamped at
Badbury. Ethel wald, expecting to be joined by a
greater force, fortified himfelf in Winborn, where
he made fome firew of refiftance p, but foon after re¬
tired to the Danes of Northumberland, leaving be¬
hind him his wife, whom he had taken out of a nunnery
at Winborn \ whither, Higden in his Polychronicon
fays, Edward returned her. Ethelwald retired to
France, and afterwards, A. D. 902, or 905, with
an army of Danes from North and Eaft-Anglia in¬
vaded EfiTex and Mercia, crofting the Thames at
Crecclade, as the Saxon Chronicle; or Crecanford
[Crayford] as Florence of Worcefter ; whence re¬
treating with a great booty, Edward purfued chem,
and coming up with them in Eaft-Anglia, between
a ditch and the Oufe, or between St. Edmund’s two
dykes, gave them a complete overthrow ; Ethelwald
being killed, with many eminent commanders on both
fides.
Leland gives us this account of this town and its
environs: “ From Pole to Winburn four miles,
<c wherof three and an half be by morifeh and hethy
“ ground. The foile about Winburn-Minftre felf
“ is very good for corne, grafle, and woodde. Or
“ I cam into Winburn by half a mile I paffid over

In Domefday Book s the king held Winborne
and Scapuuic , and Chirche , and Oppewinborne. This
manor, with its appendages, yield the farm of one
night. [This feems to have been what is pow
called the manor of the boroughj. The king holds

The Manor of the Borough.
It was ftiled a borough in the inquifitions of the
houfe of Lancafter, and was a member of Kingfton-
Lacy, where fee more concerning it. 8 H. IV. John
Plecy held here fix meffuages of the king, as of his
duchy of Lancafter, in free burgage, as of his bo¬
rough of Winburn: as did, 29 H. VI, John Cammell,
and alfo one third cf a hall, kitchin* * and chamber,
called la Gariotte, , in Kingftone-Lacy. The borough
contains the north part of the town, and confifts of
two ftreets, Eajl-Borougb and Wejl-Borough ftreets 3
the former extends from the houfe late belonging to
Rawleigh Raven, gent, to Walford bridge 5 the lat¬
ter runs parallel with the former.
Though ftiled a borough, it was never a corpora¬
tion. It is governed by two bayliffs, ehofen yearly
about Michaelmas, who collect half yearly 2 s. of each
tradefman to defray the expences of the ftewards enter¬
tainment, and is an acknowledgment for the market’s
being removed hence, into the heart of the town. This
manor and borough belong to Henry Bankes, efq.
. The Manor of the Deanry
is fituated fouth of the former, and includes all the
reft of the town that is not in the borough, and
compofes the ty thing of Winbourn-Minfter, and is
governed by a conftable. A manor, called Evans
manor, makes a part of it. It anciently belonged to
the deanry •, and on the diflolution, 1 E. VI, was
granted to the duke of Somerfet. 32 Eliz. it was
granted to Thomas Hannam, whofe defeendant, fir
William Hannam, bart. now pofieffes it.

The refidence of this family is at Deans-Court in
this town, and their place of fepulture in the fouth
ifle of this church.
Deans-Court, anciently the decanal houfe, fi-
tuated a little fouth from the church, was a large
old ftrudturc, which was rebuilt of brick, 172.5,
by the late fir William Hanham, and is now a
handfome, elegant feat. In its windows were for¬
merly many coats of arms of Hanham, Long, Conftan-
tine , Orange, &c. fome of which are dill preferved

The Nunnery
here, one of the firft in this county, was founded
by Cuthberga, daughter to Ker.red, and filler to
Ina, kings of the Weft-Saxons. She was efpoufed
to Egfred, but the nuptials not being compleated,
flae feparated from him, and retired to the mo-
nailery of Barking, c. Eflex, and afterwards built this
nunnery, where lhe (pent the remainder of her days,
and was buried in this church. It was built A. D. 713
as fome, 715 b as others, or as others, 718 c ; perhaps
it was begun A. D. 713, and finifhed 718. Henry of
H untingdon places it between the 20th and 36th years
of Ina’s reign, i. e. between A. D. 71 3 and 723 d. The
Saxon Chronicle mentions the foundation under A. D.
718, without faying that was the aftual year of foun¬
dation c. Camden in Dorfet puts it A. D.720. But it
feems mere ancient •, for in an epillle of Sr. Aldhelm,
bifliop of Sherborn, concerning the liberty of elec¬
tion granted to all congregations under his govern¬
ment, it is faid to be alfo granted in the monaftery
feated by the river called Winhurnia , over which the
king’s filler, Cuthberga, prefided. Dated 705,
Indidt. 3 f. This record is faid to be taken out of
the regiller of Malmfbury, in the remembrancer’s
office in the exchequer.
St. Quinburga, filler of Cuthburga, was a co¬
found rels, according to a Saxon MS. in Bennet -Col¬
lege, Cambridge s, and Tinmouth’s Hilloria Aurea h,
and was buried here with her filler. Agatha and
Lioba, two lifters, were educated in this monaftery
under Tecta, filler of king Ina, abbefs of Winbourn,
and went into Germany with St. Boniface, where
Lioba became abbefs of Scoverfheim near Mentz :
and was fucceeded on her refignation by her filler Aga¬
tha. They both died A. D. 752, and are mentioned
in the Roman Martyrology, 28 June \ This mo¬
naftery was dedicated to the Blefied Virgin Mary,
but in after ages to St. Cuthberga k; who, in the
Mifial in ufum Sarum , is ftiled a Virgin, and faid by
Crefley todie A. D. 727 : her memory is celebrated Au-
guft 31. It was afterwards deftroyed by the Danes,
but not till after the year goo ; when, as Kigden
fays, Ethelwald took a nun out of this houfe, which
is fuppofed to have flood where the deanry was after¬
wards eredted.

The nunnery being deftroyed, Edward the Con-

free chapel : for the church of Winborn is mentioned
in Domefday Book ; and mention is made of a
deanry here early in the reign of king Henry III,
in the charter and patent rolls of that reign, and in
the Hidoria Elienfisin Wharton’s Anglia Sacra m* u
E. II. the king by his letters declared it to be his
free chapel, and as fuch the prebend and chapels
belonging to it, to be exempt from all ordinary ju-
rifdiftion, impofition, &c. and ordained that none
fiiould prefume to incroach upon their immunities n.
This declaration was repeated 25, 27, 28 E. III. 0 Ice¬
land p and Tanner 1 fay, that it confided of a dean,
four prebendaries, three vicars, four deacons, or fe-
condaries, and five tinging men. In pope Nicholas’s
valor, 1291, we have this account of the deanry;
a portion of the dean of Winborn there, and in
Kyngfton, and in Shapwick, was rated at 40 marks;
four prebends in the fame at fifteen marks each : a
portion of the facriil in the fame at fix marks and a
half. Total 7 1 1.
Possessions of the College*
The original endowment no where occurs. In
Domefday Book we find only a fmall parcel of land
beforementioned belonging to it in Hinetone ; but
whether in Hinton-Martel, or Little Hinton, is not
very certain. It is highly probable that the bulk of
their ancient poffedions confided of the great tithes
of this parifh, to which, in after-times, feveral por¬
tions of tithes and fmall parcels of land in this and
other pariflies were added by many benefa&ors, which
can only be traced out from fome ancient grants, efpe-
cially after the didolution, mod of which occur in
the inquifitions of the Hannams, who purchafed them.
34 H. III. a patent was granted to them for the
chapel of Hineton r. The reftory of Shapwick,
though only a portion of tithes there is mentioned,
feems to have belonged to it very early; for 28
E. Ill, the dean was impowered to give the advowfon
of that church, which was de jure decanatus, to the
canons and college0. 41 E. III. this free chapel
held Shapwick . tithes in Kingdon, Pirn-
pern, Bradeford [Bryan] Kirchel, flolte, and Hame
[f. Hamprejlon] s. They had alfo, 1 R. Ill, lands
in Wilkefworth ; alfo a manor, or part of a manor,
at Leigh. T. H. VI. a licence was granted to give
lands in mortmain to the dean. In 1 534 penfions
were paid to it out of Hampredon, Shapwick, Stan-
bergh, and Pimpern. 1 E. VI. the manor of the
deanry and advowfon belonged to it. 4 E. VI. Deans-
Leafe confiding of thirty acres, parcel of this college,
was granted to Thomas Ryve and John Johnfon, who
had licence to alienate it to John Hannam. 7 E. VI.
lands in Wed-Predon, near Winborn, belonging to
the fird prebend, were granted, inter alia , to ... .
Reve, &c.
1 Mary, lands in Winbourn belonging to Cern-
abbey, two tenements, called Chilbridge, belonging
to Brembers chantry, three tenements and one
cottage belonging to ditto, and the fe.cond prebend
in Leigh, and one tenement belonging to the fird
prebend ; nine acres of land in Kingdon, belonging
to Brembers chantry; lands and tenements in Win-
bourn and Leigh, belonging to the third prebend ;
three acres in Winbourn, belonging to the facrid of
the college ; Cudborough-field, one acre, and vedure
of one acre of mead, belonging to the third pre¬
bend ; lands, &c. in Leigh, belonging to the col¬
lege ; tithes in Little-Predon, belonging to the fe-
cond prebend, and another parcel belonging to the
dean ; and tithes in Bradford-Bryan, were granted,
inter alia , to Thomas Reve and George Cotton. The
fame year, padure in Ead-Walford, belonging to a
chantry, was granted to William Morgan and jerom
Halley.

was appointed dean of Win born, and prebendary of
Rofcomb, in the church of Sarum, and, 1519, pre¬

after dean of Exeter. He likewife ftudied at Padua.
In 1523 bifhop Fox, of Winchefter, made him fellow
of Corpus Chrifti college, Oxford, which he had found¬
ed. Erom 1532 to 1535 he was vicar of Piddletown
in this county. After refiding fome time at Venice,
Florence, and Rome, he returned home, and retired
two years to Shene- Abbey. To avoid entering into
the difpute about the divorce, he obtained leave to
go to Paris, where he incurred the king’s difpleafure
for not declaring his opinion of it ; and returning to
Shene, on being prefled on that affair, removed to
Avignon and Padua, where he remained feven years.
But, declaring and writing againft the divorce, and
fupremacy, he was in 1536 deprived of his preferments
in England, and attainted. The fame year he was
created cardinal of St. Nereus and Achilleus, and af¬
terwards of St. Mary in Cofmodin, and then of St.
Prifca. After many removes to efcape the refent-
ment of king Henry VIII, who attempted to get
him delivered up to him, he was made legate of
Viterbo, and, 1543, the pope’s legate at the council
of Trent. In 1549 he was twice elected pope, but
declined it. Returning into England in quality of
legate, he was, in 1 555, confecrated archbifhop of
Canterbury, and his attainder reverled ; and 1556
he was made chancellor of Oxford and Cambridge.
He died iS Nov. 1558, about 16 hours after queen
Mary, and was buried in Canterbury cathedral, on
the N. fide of the crown of St. Thomas Becket, with
no other epitaph than Depofitum Cardinalis Poli. He
was a truly great man, eminent for piety, virtue,
learning, eloquence, probity, and judgment, and an
excellent canonifl: b.
Nicholas Wilfon fucceeded, 1537, and was the
lafl dean, the deanry being diffolved 1547. He was
redtor of St. Martin’s Outwich, L.ondon, prebendary
of Hoxton, in Sr. Paul’s, London, and canon of St.
Stephen’s, Weftminfter, and died 1549.
The patron of the deanry was the king, who
granted it by letters patents. On the decanal feal is
the figure of a king in a long robe, a crown on his
head, in his right-hand a ftaff or fceptre, in his left
an orb, and under his feet the arms of Edward the
Confeffor. This feal occurs, appendant to deeds, in
dean Kymer’s time, and no doubt was much more
ancient.

Leland fays, in his time here was a dean, four
prebendaries, three cantarifts of the foundation of
Thomas Brembre, two other cantarifts, three vicars,
and four fecondaries d.
This college, with all its chantries and chapels,
was diffolved by the chantry ad, 1 E. VI. The
Chantry Roll e, 2 E. VI, gives us the following ac¬
count of it :
“ The college or free chapel of Winborn-Minfter

His penfion was 61. 13 s. 4d. There are alfo four
priefts to ferve the cure in Winborn, becaufe there
be three chapels wherein is divine fervice, which are
diftant from Winburn three miles, and are for the
eafe of the people.
“ The fourth prebend or ftaule, value 17]. 5 s.

“ Margaret countefs of Richmond’s chantry, value
III. 17s. 4d. out of which rents refolute 15s. Re¬
main 1 il. os. 24d. Memorandum, that it wasfounded
with intent that the incumbent fliould lay mafs for
the fouls of the founders, and to be fchoolmafter to
teach .... children grammar in the faid college,
in which there is no fchool now, by reafon it is in the
king’s hands, by the. death of the late incumbent.
But it is requifite to have the fchool maintained for
the town, which is a great market-town and tho¬
roughfare, and has many children in it; and there
is no grammar-fehool in twelve miles of it ; and poor
men dwelling in Winburn are not able to keep their
children ; therefore it is fit to remain.”
In 1553, there remained in charge to Richard
Sparkford, prebendary of the firft ftaule, his penfion
6 1. — Thomas Myles, of the fecond, 5 1. — John
Walker, of the third, 61. 13 s. 4d. — John Knowles,
of the fourth, 3 1. — Simon Benion, cantarift of Red -
cote’s chantry, his penfion 5I. ; and being one of the
minifters of Winborn, another penfion of 3J. 15s. od.
- — Richard Clemare, Richard Harte, and John Harte,
members of this church, a penfion to each of 3 ].
6 s. 8 d. — John Reynolds, incumbent of Holt chan¬
try, his penfion 4 1. 16 s. f
There was anciently a prebend in this , church,
called by the name of Carentisburn ; but which of the
four prebends this was is uncertain : for it appears by
biffiop Halam’s regifter, lifter atta, that in 1409, Wil¬
liam Marnhull, prebendary of Carentisburn, in this
church, and John Langhorn, vicar, of Sturminfter-
Marfhal, made an exchange. The dean and pre¬
bendaries formerly maintained at their own charges
four priefts and four clerks, to ferve the cure. One
prieft and clerk ferved the collegiate church ; another
St. Peter’s chapel ; another Kingfton chapel ; and
another Holt chapel.

executors, Richard bifliop of Winchefter, John bi-
fhop of Rochefter, and Henry Hornby, &c. clerks,
obtained other letters patents, 1 H. VIII. ratifying
the former, and giving them farther power of pur-
chafing and holding other lands, &c. to the value of
61. per annum, over and above the lands, &c. of
the value of 10 1. per ann. clear ; which the countefs
had power to purchaie, and apply to this ule, by the
former patent. Accordingly, by a tripartite deed,
2 H. VIII. made between her executors, on the firft
part •, the dean and chapter of the free chapel -
royal, on the iecond part ; and the facrift or keeper
of the chantry founded by Mr. T. Brembre, and the
chaplains of the faid chantry, on the third part ; the
executors erected and eftablifhed in this church
by content of the dean and chapter, d chantry at the
altar on the S. fide of the tomb of J. duke of So-
merlet, and Margaret his wife, father and mother of
the faid countefs : and by the faid deed appointed
Richard Hodgekynnes, B. A. to be the firft chaplain
of the laid chantry, and to be continually refident in
the laid college, in an houle there let apart by the
dean and chapter for that purpofe ; there to teach
grammar to all comers, in the fame manner as there
was or fhould be ufed in the lchools of Eton or
Winchefter, without any other perquifites but what
were appointed by the executors. And among other
ftatutes it was ordained, that the faid chaplain, and
his fucceftors for ever, fhould every day celebrate
mafs at the faid altar, for the fouls of the faid coun¬
tefs, king Henry VII. John duke of Somerfet, and
Margaret his wife, and all their anceftors, &c. The
collects and other ceremonies are particularly pre-
lcribed. The chaplain of this chantry was to keep
an anniverfary day for the faid countefs, on the gth
of July, with ringing of bells, and the mafs, &c.
prelcribed ; and the fame being finifhed, to diftribute
20 s. as following ; viz. to the facrift of the college,
if prefent at fuch mafs or funeral folemnity, 1 6 d. ;
to every chaplain devoutly Tinging, 8 d. ; to every
fecondary and parifh-clerk, 4 d. ; to the facrift, for
five wax-candles to be burnt about the bier, and two
others on the altar, and for bell ropes, i6d.; and
to the ringers of the bells, 8 d. The refidue of the
20 s. to be diftributed to the poor of the parilh, to
lo me 1 d. to others 2 d. as their neceffities required,
by the facrift. The ftipend of the chaplain of this
chantry was but 10 1. yearly, and for his door-keeper
40 s. : and he was at Michaelmas yearly to render
an account to the dean, or in his abfence to the fa¬
crift, and one of the fenior chaplains of Brember’s
chantry, of all expences of this chantry. And if
any thing remained more than the ftipend of the
chaplain and door-keeper, and other neceftary ex¬
pences, the fame Ihould be laid up in a cheft, fet
apart for that purpofe, under three locks and keys ;
one to remain in the hands of the dean, or, in his
abfence, of the facrift •, another in the hands of the
fenior chaplain; and a third in the hands of the
chaplain of this chantry. Leave is alfo given to take
money out of the cheft occafionally, as wanted for the
purpoles aforelaid s.

joy, procure of queen Elizabeth, a. r. 4, letters pa¬
tent, whereby fhe, conk'd er in g’ how pious an aeft ic
might be to reftore divine worlhip, and that children
Ihould be educated in learning, good manners, and

of this large parilh, that there was but one church

chequer was extinguilhed, fire founded the prefer! c
grammar fchool, and appointed it to be free for all

name of Queen Elizabeth’s Free Grammar School
in Winbourn-Minfter : and that there fhould be three
priefts and three clerks to perform divine fervice in
the church, and difeharge the cure of fouls in the
parifh. And for the better government of this foun¬
dation, fhe appointed 12 governors to be chofen from

of the parifh, and incorporated them by the name of
the governors of the pofleftions, &c. of the faicl
fchool ; appointed them a common feal, and a

and granted them the tithes in Barnflv, then in grant

ward VI. for a term of 21 years, under the annual

longed to the laid college or prebends, which were
then in her hands, by virtue of the faid a£t of par¬
liament. Alfo the fchool houfe, and four priefts
houfes in Winborn. All which lands, tythes, &c.
were cf the clear yearly value of 89 1. 18s.; referv-
ing to herfelf and fucceflors the faid barn of Kingfton-
Lacy, and 6 1. it s. 4b. rent, under an annual rent
of 40 1. per annum, to be paid half yearly at the
exchequer.
Out of thefe revenues the governors and their fuc-
ceffors were, by this charter, forever to find a fchool-
mafter to teach grammar to all comers freely, ac¬
cording to the ufage of the fchools of Eton and Win-
chefter; and to find three priefts and three clerks, to
perform divine fervice in the church, and difcharge
the cure of fouls in the parilh, with power to remove
them, and make bye-laws, with the advice of the
bifhop of Briftol, for the better government of the
church and fchool : and to difcharge the queen and
her fucceflors of all expences of this foundation, and
to repair the chancel of the church, and priefts houfes,
from time to time, at their own expence.
Thefe patents coft the parifhioners about 100 1.
befides what the lord Montjoy, by promife, was to
have for procuring them, which was a leafe of all
the tithes, granted to the governors for a term of 2 1
years, at the yearly rent of 100 1. ; which leafe was
granted by the governors, 6 Eliz. under their com¬
mon feal. But the parifhioners having redeemed
fome former leafes of fome of the tithes, made be¬
fore the letters patents, they not long after redeemed
alfo the lord Montjoy’s leafe, and provided three
priefts and three clerks, to perform divine fervice,
and difcharge the cure of fouls ; and chofe Mr. Mon¬
day fchool-mafter.
About this time, the pari {In church being thought
fufficient, and St. Peter’s chapel being difcontinued,
and the bells thereof brought to the church ; the go¬
vernors, inftead of finding a minifter to ferve at
Kingfton chapel, fee up a ledlure on Friday, the
market day, and procured Mr. Smith to ferve it,
who continued till his death, 1587; and afterwards
Mr. Norman, chaplain to the earl of Pembroke.
Not long after, the fchool houfe being ancient and
decayed, and not fufficient for the fcholars, the go¬
vernors new built it, made the fchool more fpacious,
and the houfe larger and more commodious, not only
for the fchoolmaiter and his ordinary family, but for
the entertainment of the fcholars tabled with him ;
and furnifhed it with neceflary implements, at the
expence of 200 1. which was defrayed by the gover¬
nors, with the help of the parilhioners. 14 Eliz.
the governors agreed with the parifhioners, that, in
conliueration of thefe disburfements, every one Ihould
have his own tythe, at the yearly rent of 5 d. per
acre, for all arable, pafture, and other tytheable
land, and for4d, fine; by which the revenues were
increafed 20 1. above the referved rent on lord Mont-
joy’s leafe. This agreement, to which the bifhop of
Briftol confented, was decreed and regiftered in the
ecclefiaftical court of this peculiar ol Winbourn, 26
July, 1573-
In procefs of time, the governors charge increaf-
ing, and the times neceflarily requiring more main¬
tenance for the ichoolmailer, &c. the governors
were not able to continue that rate of tythes ; and
therefore, for the better enabling them to defray
their yearly ordinary and extraordinary expences, and
pay the 40 1. to the queen, they let fome of the
tythes, by feveral leafes, for competent fines, under
their common feal, to fuch parifhioners as would
take them at reafonable yearly values. But many
refufing to do lb, they, about 38 Eliz. under their
common feal, for the fine of 100 1. granted to fir
Thomas Shirley, knt. for the term of 21 years, all,
the tythes of fuch as refufed to take leafes, and the
rents and reverfions of fuch as had leafes : refervino-
* O
the yearly rent of 200 1. which was then neceflary
for the maintenance of the church and fchool, pay¬
ment of the crown rent, reparations, and other ex¬
traordinary charges. Sir Thomas Shirley foon after
afligned his farm and eftate therein to Giles Simp-
fon, of London, goldfmith : and divers of the pa¬
rilhioners refufing to pay their tythes, the governors
commenced many fuits in the fpiritual court, for
tythes due before that leafe was granted, and to
Simpfon for tythes due afterwards. Whereupon the
parilhioners preferred divers bills againft the gover¬
nors and Simpfon ; one in chancery, another in the
duchy court, and two in the court of requefts. About
41 Eliz. all thefe fuits were ended ; and the pa¬
rilhioners paid Simpfon for the redemption of his
leafe, and arrears due to him, 442 1. 14 s. id. and
then took leafes of their tythes, rendering for rent
yearly about 200 1.
About 10 Jac. I. one Tipper 1 queftioned the
validity of the faid patent, and endeavoured to over¬
throw the fame ; on which the governors petitioned
the king, who refufed to alter it, and granted a con¬
firmation of the former patents. 1 1 Jac. I. he
granted and releafed the 40 1. referved rent to the
then governors, &c. The charge of this patent,
together with the purchafe, coft about 900 1. which
was raifed by the parilhioners voluntarily increafing
the rents referved on their feveral leafes lately granted
to them ; viz. the inhabitants of Cowgrove and
Barfoot, from 8 3 1 . 18s. 2d. to 132I. 5s. iod. ;
thofe of Abbotftreet, from 22 1. 18s. 8d. to 39I.
4s.; thofe of Stone, from 20!. 18 s. 8 d. to 59 1.
16s. iod. ; the whole in thofe places being 103 1.
ns. 12 d. befides the increafe of the reft of the pa-
rilh. Thus the governors were enabled to fell as
much of their revenues as might raife the fum of
900 1. and yet have as much left as formerly for the
maintenance of the church, fchool, &,c.
N. B. In the patent of Jac. 1. mention is made of
a penfion of 10 s. out of the redory of Fimpern ;
another of 1 3 s. 4 d. out of that of Shapwick ; ano¬
ther of 10 s. out of that of Stanbridge ; and anqther
of 20 s. out of that of Hamprefton. Alfo tythes,
&c. out of Stanbridge, Badbury, and Hamprefton.
Alfo the houfe called the School-Hcufe, once a
chantry and four mefluages or buildings in Win-
bourn, called the Priefts Houfes, all belonging to
the college.
About 10 Jac. I. the fteeple of the eaft tower of
the church was blown down by a tempeft, and beat
down good part of the chancel, and damaged the
body of the church, the extraordinary charge of re¬
pairing which amounted to about 120 1. Afterwards
a cafual fire burnt down many houfes in the town,
the kitchen of the fchool houfe, and part of the mi-
nifters houfes ; on which the governors built the
’ Robert Tipper with Willliam Daw and fome others made it their bufinefs to find out the concealed lands , as they were called, and
got many large grants into their own hands in this and other counties. See Morant’s Eflex, I, 33.

kitchen new, and added fome more buildings to the
minifters houfes, at the expence of about iool. which
was defrayed by the governors and parifhioners.
In the reign of king Charles I. feveral difputes
arifing between the governors and parifhioners, re¬
lating to the payment of the tythes, a writ of feire
facias was i fined for the revocation of the former let¬
ters parents. The governors, with the confent of
the generality of the parifh, furrendered them into
the king’s hands; who, by letters patents, a. r. 14,
in confideration of 1000 1. paid into the exchequer,
regrants all the tythes, pofiefiions, lands, &c. be¬
longing to the church and fchool, unto 12 governors
therein named, and incorporates them by their for¬
mer ftyle ; but makes fome difference with refpedt to
the perfons who fhould for the future officiate in the
church and fchool. The governors in this charter
covenant for themfelves for ever to maintain a fchool-
rr.after and ufher, three priefts or minifters, three
clerks, four chorifters, two fingers, and an organift.
They had a power of appointing their falaries, and
of removing them, and choofing others in their room,
when neceffary ; but not the priefts, without the ad¬
vice of the bifhop of Briftol. The governors were
alfo inverted with all ecclefiaftical jurifditftion within
the parifh, and to nominate and appoint both the of¬
ficial and regifter of the court of this peculiar.
At this time the annual revenue of the church
amounted to 204 1. 1 6s. 2d. the charges of the
charter to 1251 1. 3 s.; which was all disburfed by
Thomas Hannam, of Deans Court, efq. and after¬
wards paid by increaling the rate of the tythes to 1 8 d.
an acre for the arable and meadow lands on Kingfton
fide of the parifh, and 4 d. an acre for pafture and
coppice; and on Holt fide to 12 d. an acre gene¬
rally ; and by granting leafes of tythes to fuch as
would take them at reafonable rents and fines, for
three and four lives ; by which means the corpora¬
tion were enabled to fell fome of their revenues, and
yet keep more than they had at the granting of this
charter; viz. 222 1. yearly, and upwards.
The corporation, according to their covenant, for
fome time afterwards maintained a fchool matter, &c.
as before, and allowed them better ftipends ; fo that
the fchool was well taught, and the church and cha¬
pel of Holt and the Friday’s ledture well ferved by
preaching minifters, till during the Ufurpation they
left their places, which the corporation fupplied by
others, the fchool matter and ufher continuing.
About 1652, Conllant JefTop, by order of the
committee, had the minifter’s places, and all there¬
unto belonging ; he undertaking to lerve the church
and ledure, and difeharge the corporation, who con-
fented to allow him 120I. yearly, which he enjoyed
till his death, 1658.
About 1658, the revenues amounted to 223 1.
1 2 s. 6d. And the corporation confidering that
many of the leafes before granted depended but on
one life, and many of them likely to drop ; and that
though the ftipends of the three minifters, three
clerks, fchool mafter and ulher much exceeded thofe
allowed at the time of the patent of king Charles I. ;
yet it was agreed, that fuch of the faid rents as fhould
come into hand by the expiration of fuch leafes, and
all other rents they fhould receive (their expences,
disburfements, &c. firft deducted) fhould remain for
the increafe of the ftipends of the three minifters, till
they fhould amount to 300 lr per annum, to be ap¬
portioned according to the governors dilcretion.
That the reft of the rents, and all the revenues, with
the increafe thereof, by advancing any of the rates,
7 • •
8S
or by tythes in kind (disburfements firft deducted),
fhould remain to increafe the ftipend of the lchoolmafter
to 40 1. per ann. and that of the ufher to 20 1. ; ar.d
for the maintenance of the three clerks, &c.
April 21, 1659, the corporation elected Mr. Ar¬
thur Hern to be one of the three minifters, with an
allowance of 46 1. per ann. and 4 1. per ann. in lieu
of an houfe, befides 10 1. per ann. paid by John
Hannam, efq. during pleafure : Mr. Baldwin Dea¬
con another, with an allowance of 80 1. per annum,
and was appointed to preach the Friday’s ledture ; and
Mr. Richard Gillingham another, with an allowance
of but 26 1. and 4 1. per ann. in lieu of an houfe.
In 1660, Deacon, not being found in holy orders,
was difeharged.
In 1740, there was 325 I. annually paid in falaries ;
viz. 66 1. to two of the minifters, and 60 1. to the
third, together with the ufe of the prieft’s houfe and
garden ; 34 1. to the fchoolmafter {'2 5 1. to the ufher;
25 1. to the organift ; 8 1. each to the three clerks;
5 1. each to the three finging men ; 50 s. each to the
four chorifters ; befides all extraordinary disburfe¬
ments, which in fome years have been very confider-
able, particularly in the repair of the fchool and mi¬
nifter’s houfe. Since which there has been little or
no alteration.
This account of the corporation is extradfed from
a MS. hiftory of this town and church, compiled by
the late Nicholas Rufiel, gent, a native and inhabi¬
tant of this place, from the records of this church
preferved in the library. The affairs of the church
and fchool are fo intermixed and connected, that they
could not be conveniently feparated.
This church is alfo endowed with divers mefiuao,es
O
in this parifh and the neighbourhood, which have
from time to time been built on the church-lands,
or beftowed on it by feveral charitable benefactors
for its fupport ; the referved annual rents of which
amount now to 2 1 1. 16 s. yd. and are under the
management of the churchwardens.
Among thefe church-lands, &c. are mentioned a
tenement, formerly called St. Mary’s Houfe ; ano¬
ther tenement, orchard, and garden, heretofore the
piece of ground whereon St. James’s chapel at King'
fton formerly flood ; Church-Moor, near Little-
Canford ; an acre of mead called Netherwood, or
Bel-Acre, in Great-Canford, which was given by
Simon Benfon, facrift of the college, to the church¬
wardens, for ringing and maintaining of the bells of
this church, 31 H. VIII.. two fairs at Pamphill,
July 7, and Odt. 18, granted by charter of king
H. VII. which were leafed out; the referved annual
rent 14 s.; a chief rent(of 3 s. 4 d. per ann. given
by Thomas Lyne, gent, of Bradford-Bryan, by will,
1621, towards the repairs of the S. ifle, to be paid
out of the tithes of Bradford farm ; a chief rent of
20 s. given by Anthony Etterick, of Holt-Lodge,
efq. for the liberty of erecting his monument in the
church, which is paid yearly by the corporation of
Pool, out of the tythes of Parkfton, in Great-Can¬
ford, William Fitch, of High-Hall, efq." for fome
years gave the rents of a ground, viz. 30 s. near the
paper-mills, called the Hop-Garden, for an annual
fermon on Good-Fiiday, and to the church for the
liberty of his gallery ; out of which the church¬
wardens pay 10 s. yearly, to one of the three mini¬
fters, for fuch fermon.
In the churchwardens book of accounts, 1565*
there appears to have been a payment called Smoks-
Money , and charged in all the accounts to 1578. At

In the market-place flood the free chapel of St.
Peter's, fometintes ' filled the king’s free chapel. It
was neglected foon after the Reformation. 31 Eliz.
this decayed church, with the church-yard, contain¬
ing one acre, lying between High- Street and Pillory-
Street,. were granted to William Pipper and B.obert
Daw, of f London, gents, who fold it to Thomas
flannam, ferjeant at law ; who the next year veiled
k in the corporation, and their fucceffors in fee, in
order to make a Town-hall, and the refidue of the
profits to help maintain the chorifters in the church.
The Town- FI all
was accordingly built, with a tenement at the W.
end, and a fhop under the hall, which were ftated
out by the corporation by leafe for 99 years, deter¬
minable oil three lives, under a relerved rent of
30 s. : but the laft tenant being unable to repair it,

ever fince lain wafle. The E. wall of the chapel is
yet Handing. Human bones are frequently dug up
in rhe feite of it.
Without the town were three other chapels ; St.
Catharine's at Leigh, St. James’s at Kingflon-Lacy,
and St. James’s at libit ; all which, except the latter
have been long defecrated. See more of them in the

rolls, 3 E. I. In another, 7 E. I. it is faid to be
dedicated to St. Mar yard and St. Anthony. There
is another, 4 E. I. concerning the proteftion of the
brethren, and licence' granted them to collefl alms k.
At the beginning of a book of accounts 1 relating
to this hofpital, and Hill prelerved in ic, it is find
to be of the cre&ion of . . . . m, fome time duke of
Hcquitain and Lancajler, to which duchy the manor
of KingHon-Lacy belonged ; but there is no account
what number of poor were here maintained. In a
chefl in the chapel of this hofpital is a deed, that
Ihews there was no endowment, but that the poor
were maintained by alms ; and alfo fets forth, that
it was of old time edifyed and builded at the W. end
of the town, within the lordfliip of KingHon-Lacy,
to the honour of God and of Sant Margarite. To
the which there is neither lands nor goods to main¬

at 29 s. 8 d. per annum-, and is faid to havebeen
ordained for the relief of poor men, of which there
were then eight, who live by the profits of the houfe,
and the inhabitants of Winborn.
In the interval between its foundation and the
Reformation, it is evident, it received fome imall en¬
dowments, to which fome additions have been fince
made. From 1567 to 1683, the government of this
hofpital was under the dire&ion of two fubffantial
inhabitants of this parifh, annually chofen, and Hiled
guardians or wardens of St. Margaret’s hofpital or
alms-houfe, affifled by fuch as had before executed
that truff, the conffable of the town, and the Reward
of the manor of KingHon-Lacy. But fince 1683 the
method of elefling guardians has been difeontinued,
and the management of the revenues wholly under
the care of the Reward of the manor, and the lords
of the manor of Kingflon ; whofe lord has the nomi¬
nation and appointment of the alms people.
In the before-mentioned book of accounts are fe-
veral orders and regulations for the government of
it, made 1567 ; and an account of its revenues and
annual rents, which confifl of about 34 acres of land,
in feveral fmall parcels, the yearly value of which

William Stone, principal of New Inn Hall, Ox¬
ford, one of the minifters of this church, confider-
ably augmented the revenues of this hofpital; for by
his will, dated 1685, he devifed all his lands, tene¬
ments, See. in Winborn (the value of which do not
occur) to his executor, in truff, to fettle the fame on
five inhabitants, that the profits might be employed
to the ufe of the almfmen only, who Ihould live in
the hofpital. There is a chapel in this hofpital, in
which one of the brethren reads prayers once or
twice a day to the poor people, who are obliged to
give conftant attendance.
At the E. end of the town is a pretty large pile
of old wooden buildings, divided into tenements, and
inhabited by poor people.
2 Eliz. a licence was granted to James lord Mont-
joy, to eredt an hofpital here, by the name of Gertrude
Marchionefs of Exeter's Hofpital ; which lady, by her
will, dated 1537, mentions her intention of erecting fix
lioufes for fix poor men or women, who are to pray
for her foul in a chantry in the church of Canford :
and are allowed for their maintenance a rent charge
of 4I. 13 3. 4 ft. out of the manor of Canford, pay¬
able by James lord Montjoy, who feems to have trans¬
ferred this foundation hither.
Here is a handlome workhoufe, lately built.
Bridges. In the E. part of the town, the river
Allen divides itfelf into two branches, which unite
themfelves before it falls 'into the Stour. Over thefe
branches are two little bridges, called Ifebek, Ifebrook ,
or Eajlbrook bridges ; of which the eaftern one has
three arches, and the weftern one two. In tne en¬
virons of the town are three more bridges 5 one on
the N. fide of the town, called Walford- Bridge, over
the Allen, confiding of fix arches ; another on the
S. W. called J^/ww-Bridge, over the Stour, which
has alfo fix arches. A little E. of the town is ano¬
ther over the Stour* called Canford- Bridge, which
has 1 1 arches.

Hundred of B A D B U R Y;
The manor of Kingfton-Lacy belongs to the duchy
of Lancafter, and is in fome records ftiled an honour.
It was, as its name imports, in former ages, part of
the poffelfions of the kings of England ; and takes
its additional denomination from Lacy earl of Lin¬
coln, once lord of it. In the Cotton Library, Julius
C. I. and II. lib. ii. fome inquilitions taken t. E. I.
concerning fome hundreds in this county, give the
following account :
“ Hund. de Bradcburi. King Henry I. gave to the
earl of Mellent Kingefton cum ptin fcil. Scapewic,
et Kerchel, F rein el, & Geffize-Dinant,. & Bernardef-
leie, & Cnolton, & Upwimborn. That earl gave the
honour to Robert his pofthumous fon [fills ejns pofl-
nato], who was afterwards earl of Leicelter ; and
it defcended to Robert his fon, who died laft [ex-
trcmo], This Robert gave the manor of Kingefton
in dower [dotavit] to his wife Loretta . But the king
gave [trad Id it] it to Henry, fon of the earl, who
now holds it. The honour was parted, per duas ca-
nillas, fc. between earl Simon and earl Saber [de
Quincy]. The part of earl Simon is in the king’s
hands, and the other part in earl Saher’s, which de*
fsended to R.oger his fon.”
19 LI. II. terra comitis Legreceftre : the fhcriff ren¬
dered an account for the farm of Chingefton, for a
third part of the year ; and for 15 1. is. 8 d. for the
ailize of Kin Mellon °.
Mr. Coker p fays, that “ this manor came by
e‘ marriage to Henry , fon of John Lacy , earl of Lin-
*•' coin which nobleman married Margaret, foie
daughter and heir of William, fon of William
Longfpe, earl of Salisbury ; which family do not
appear to have had any concern here, though it is
highly probable they had : for it is certain that Henry
Lacy, earl of Lincoln, poffeffed it at his death, per¬
haps in right of his lady. Mr. Camden fays, it
came to the Lacys by bargain and fale, from Quincy
earl of Winch elder. It is to be regretted, that re¬
cords are wanting to reconcile thefe accounts.
T. E. I. Henry earl of Lincoln claimed to have in
the hundred of Badbury, gallows, judicium la-
tronum , &c. ; free chafe in Wimborn-Holt and Bad¬
bury ; free warren through all this manor ; a fair in
Wimborn-Minfter, on St. Cuthburgh’s day, yearly,
and a market on Sundays, pofl horam nonam , and all
the next day ; alfo the free burgage of Blafiford L
4 E. II. Henry de Lacy, late earl of Lincoln, held
at his death this manor, by knight’s fervice, as of the
honour of Leycefter ■, and a chace there of five leucce
long, and two broad. In the vill of Winbourn are
certain free-tenants belonging to the faid manor, who
pay 20 s. per ann. for all fervices. He alfo held the
pleas and perquifitcs of the hundred of Badbury, be¬
longing to the faid manor, of the yearly value of
46 s. 8 d. ; and the pleas and perquifites of the curia
intrinfeca , of the yearly value of 20 s. Alfo the
manor and advowfon of Blanford-Forum, and the
manor of Canford, where fee more of him : Alice,
wife of Thomas earl of Lancafter, daughter of the
faid Ilenry and Margaret, his next heir, ast. 26 r.
16 E. 11. Joan, fecond wife of LI. de Lacy, held at
her death this manor, nomine dotis, and the hundred
of Badbury r. She married Thomas, eldeft fon of
Edmund earl of Lancafter, younger fon of king
H. III. who was beheaded at Pontefract, c. York,
1 5 E. II. and died without iffue. His lady, who is
fometimes ftiled in our records countefs of Salisbury
and Lincoln, furvived him, and remarried Eubeule le
Strange; who died 9 E. III. feifed in her right of this-
manor, and the burgh of Blanford. She furvived her
fecond hufband, and died 22 E. III. feifed of this ma¬
nor, and that of Canford r. All the lands defcended
to her from her father, by virtue of a grant made
by him ; and by a grant of king E. I. came to Henry,
afterwards duke of Lancajler, fon of Henry, and
nephew of Thomas, earls of Lancafter s. "by an
inquifition taken at her death it was found, that king
E. I. by the quit-claim of Iienry de Lacy, earl of
Lincoln, was felled of this manor ; and regranted it to
the faid Henry, on condition that it Ihould remain,
after his death, to Edmund the king’s, brother, and
his heirs. Thomas his fon, earl of Lancafter, held
it till his death ; after which the king feifed it into
his hands.. But king E. II. reftored it to Alice his
relift:, who granted it to Henry, afterwards duke of
Lancafter ; when the faid manor was valued at 140 1,
per ann. held of the king by fervice of three knights
fees. 20 E. III. Alice countefs of Lincoln held here,
and in Blanford, three knights fees, which H. de
Lacy formerly held.
35 E. III. Henry duke of Lancafter held at his
death this manor as before; 77 s. 3 d. rent of affize
in the borough of Winbourn, in like manner ; a chace
called Winborn-LIolt, containing 300 acres of wood,
held of the king in chief ; the hundred of Badbury,
the manor of Shapwick, and the hundred of Maiden-
Newton. He held alfo of the king in chief, by
knights fervice, one-third of a fee in Shapwick,

a fee in Swine-Toller, which the heir of Oliver
Hyngham holds; one fee in the fame vill, and in
Maiden-Newton, which Bartholomew de Infula holds ^
half a fee in Upfideling, which Jacobus de Cobh am
holds r. He left two daughters for his heirs-; 'Maud,
firft married to Ralph, fon and heir to Ralph lord
Stafford ; and Blanch, to John of Gaunt, fourth fou
of king E. I. and afterwards duke of Lancafter.
Maud died without iffue, 36 E. III. and held at her
death this manor, and the rent before-mentioned, in
Winbourn; the chafe of Winbourn-Llolt ; the hun¬
dreds of Badbury and Maiden-Newton ; the manor of
Shapwick. Ob. 43 E. III. Blanch, wife of John
earl of Richmond, her fifter and heir, mr. 20 r. Joh.n
of Gaunt was created duke of Lancafter 36 E. ill.
but dying 22 R. II. Henry de Bolingbroke, earl of

Blanch, fucceeded him ; who afterward.becoming kino-
of this realm, by the title of Henry IV. this manory
See. came to the crown.
3 H. V. this manor, and thofe of Winborn, Bian-

[A] Son of John Bankes of Kefwiek in Cumberland, merchant, and born there. He was admitted, 160 6, at Queen’s- College, Ox¬
ford, and ftudied at Grav’s-Inn. In 1631 he was knighted, and made attorney-general to the prince of Wales [1]. His great lkill in
the law recommended him to be attorney-general to the king, 1633 [2]. In 1640 he was made lord chief juitice of the Common-
Pleas [3]. He was appointed commilfioner in feveral important commilfions, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 Car. I. [4]. In 1643 ah order of the
Houfe of Commons was made, that fir John Bankes’s goods and chattels fhould be ieqiieltered and fold; arid a coihmittee was appointed
to order the fequeifration of his eitate. In 1644 he was voted to be excepted from pardon ; his name was afterwards If ruck out of the
lilt, but he was impeached for high-treafon. In 1644 his library and MSS. were given to Mr. Maynard. In 1647 the fequeifration of his
lady and children was taken off. Lady Bankes compounded for herfelf at 455 1. ; for her nine children at 370 1. ; John Bankes, eiq.
at 1974 1. ; befide 60 1. per annum fettled on preachers. His charity appeared by a lettlement of 30 1. per annum on the poor at Kel-
wick, which is fince much augmented. His integrity was acknowledged by his very enemies, and the ruined walls of his feat at Corfe-
caftle remain a monument of his loyalty. Finding he could not ferve his king and country in his high Ifation at Weltminlter-Hall,
he withdrew to Oxford, where, 1642, he was created LL.D. and made privy-counfellor, having garrifoned Corfe-Calfle, and left his
lady to defend it, which Ihe bravely did, with the affilfance of the neighbouring gentry, maintaining two lieges, and at lalt loft it only by
treachery. He died at Oxford, Dec. 28, 1684, £et. 55, and was buried iri the cathedral of Chrilf-Church there, where is a monument
to his memory with this epitaph [c],

The black lead mines at Kefwick, which it is faid

Kingston-Hall
lies about two miles and a half N. W. from Win-
bourn-Minfter, in the ty thing of Cowgrove. It has
been imagined that it was anciently a feat of the
Weft-Saxon kings ; but there is nothing but tradi¬
tion and the name to countenance this opinion. It
was very probably part of the poffeffions of thofe
princes ; but whether it was ever the place of their
refidence, is much to be doubted. Leland 1 gives
us this account of this place and its environs :
“ Ther hath beene fins [i. e. the ruin of Badbury-
“ caftle] a fair maner place caullid Kingfton-Haul,
<( and this is now in a manner clerely defacid. It
berith in wrytinges the name of Kingeftoun-Lafcy.
Wherapon I gather that one of the Lacys, pre-
deceffors onto Henry Lafcy erle of Lincoln, builded
tc this houfe. And I gather therby alfo that the
(C Lafcys were lordes of Winburne, and by hym it
cam to John of Gaunt, duke of Lancafter, to the
“ which dukedome it yet longgith : and the courtes
te for Winburn be yet kept at Kingefton. The fa-
“ mofe wood of Bathan, now comunely caullid of
“ fum Bothom, is not far from Kingefton. Kingef-
“ toun lyith by N. W. in a maner hard to Win-
u burne.”
. ' /.I*
The prefent houfe at Kingfton-Hall was built
1 663 by fir Ralph Bankes, and is fo ccmpleat a
pile of building, that the late owner, John Bankes,
efq. was offered 10,000 1. for the houfe only. The
fituation is fo delightful, that James, the firft duke of
Ormond, fpent the latter part of his life and died
here July 21, 1688. It is built of brick, but the
doors and windows are faced with Portland ftone.
Its dimenftons are 10 1 feet by 74. Over the door,
in the north and chief front are the arms of Bankes
impaling Brune , and this date, 1663.
In the room within the hall are thefe nine pi&ures

of land, and one cottage, were granted to John
Farnham and his heirs. It was negle&ed about 1 C04,
and only a tvall of it now remains. Some place it
in Abbotftreet.
Abbotstreet, Abbjlreet , a tything and manor,
near Kingfton-Hall, in which is no farm, and confift-
ingonly of fcattered houfes, which belong to fir Wil¬
liam Hannam.- 37 H. VIII. meffuages and fix acres
of land here, late belonging to Sherborn abbey, were
granted, inter alia, to Walter Hodges, fen. and jun.
and their heirs, value 5 1. 7 s. The fame year
Hodges had licence to alienate the premifes to John
Hannam and heirs. 16 Eliz. lands here belonging to
Sherborn abbey, were held by Richard Hannam, efq.
of the queen, by a twentieth part of a fee, value

Badbury, in Saxon Ba'Dan-Byjnj, a parcel of
ground, fituated two miles N. W. from Kingfton-
Hall, which gives name to the hundred, and is a
member of the manor of Kingfton-Lacy, with which
it always paffed. Mr. Camden fays from tradition,
that here was formerly a feat of the Weft-Saxon
kings, which, if ever .there were fuch a one, is fo
utterly decayed that there is not the leaft fign of it.
The author of the additions to the Britannia is in¬
clinable to remove it to Kingfton-Hall, but there is
nothing but tradition to authorize fixing one there.
Leland fays £, “ The Saxon kinges had hard by the
“ toun [i. e. of Winburne] a caftelle, now caullid
“ Badbyri, but clerely down. The diches, hilles,
“ and fite therof be yet evidently feene ; now conyes
“ borough in it.”
Badbury camp is undoubtedly a Roman work ;
which is evident from the Roman coins, urns, and a
fword dug up here 1665. Mr. Coker fays that fome
have attributed it to the Saxon king Edward the
Elder : but he really only ported lfimfelf in, and
made ufe of this fortification when he defigned to
attack Ethelwald at Winbourn. It is certainly a mi¬
litary work ; nor are there the leaft traces of any
building in it, to favour the opinion of its being a
caftle, or the feat of kings. It is of a circular form,
and environed with three ramparts and ditches, is
near a mile round, and -has two entrances, one at the
eaft, and the other at the weft. Its area is eighteen
acres, 102 ftatute perches long, and fixteen and an
half broad ; or, as others, twenty-eight chains bv
twenty-five chains and twelve links: the circum¬
ference of the outer rampart is feventy-nine chains.
This camp ftands in the parilh of Shapwick.
Here was anciently a chace, or warren : but the
record, t. E. I, cited at Kingfton-Lacy, fays it was a
warren,, not a chace. 19 H. VIII. it was leafed to
Thomas Basket for twenty-one years, at 1 1 1. per ann.
and, 36 H. VIII, to fir William Petre, at the deter¬
mination of the former leafe, for the fame term and
rent. 7 E. VI. to Henry AJhley, of Winbourn St.

twenty-one years, at 20I. fine, and the faid rent of
nl. In 1740 this warren was deftroyed, and turned
into feveral farms.
Bothenwood, Bathenwood, now corruptly Bon -
wood. A hamlet in Stone tything, and one part of
Holt foreft:. Leland Y calls it the “ Famous Wood
“ of Batham,” perhaps for a reafon which he af-“
figns in his Colle&anea z, “ That adjoining to the mo-
“ naftry of Winterborn, near Batom [T. Batham]
“ is a flourifhing grove, or grove of fruit-trees [nemus
*c friiftuofurn) whofe wood, when it has leyn an year

“ Heine.”
Bere-Peverel, or Berford, or Barford, two
farms in the tything of Cowgrove, fituated about a
mile S. W. from Kingfton-Hall, near the river, op-
pofite to Corf-Molin, and belonging to Mr. Bankes.
Here was anciently a manor, the freehold and inhe¬
ritance of which being fold beyond the memory of
man to various perfons,’ the prefent owners pay an
annual chief rent to Henry Bankes, efq. as lord of the
manor of Kingfton-Lacy.
f>RA dford-Brian, part of the farm o' manorj
is a member of Kingfton-Lacy. See before in
Barnefly tything.
Colhile, a few cottages in the tything of Stone,
lying about one mile and an half N. E. from Win-
bourn-Minfter. It belongs partly to fir William
Hannani.
Cowgrove, a tything, hamlet, and farm, fituated
near a mile S. E. from Kingfton-h’all, and belongs to
Henry Bankes , efq.
Holt, Winborn- Holt,
a chapelry, hamlet, and farm, diftant about three
miles N. E. from Wmborn-Minfter. It derives its
name from the Saxon word Loir, a grove, wood, or
foreft on an elevated fituation. It lies partly in the
tithing of Stone, and partly in that of Thornhill,
and is a member of Kingfton-Lacy, to the lords of
which place it always belonged. 53 H. III. a mar¬
ket and fair were granted here a. 42 E. III. a fair tvas
granted here near the chapel of St. James, to John
duke of Lancafter b. This fair is (till held on July

Anthony Etterick, efq. of this place, was an emi¬
nent lawyer and antiquary, and recorder of Pool.
He communicated the additions to this county in
Camden’s Britannia, and was buried at Winborn, as
were all his family, while they refided here.
In Domefday Book c we find two hides of land
belonging to the manor of Horton to be included
in the forejl of Winborn, which foreft is likewife
mentioned in fome records. It does not appear whe¬
ther it was diftinft from that of Holt. Perhaps
not. See before, p. 58.
Here was anciently a foreft, chace, and park. By
the record quoted in Kingfton-Lacy, t. E; I, the
bounds of this chace are thus fet forth : “ By the
“ two oaks called Deux Seers, i. e. the Two Sifters,
“ by the king’s high-way to Manytone : from thence,
“ by la Rygwaye, to Uddynge, from thence to

Coker fays d, that this foreft and park belonged to
Will iam de Longfpe , earl of Sarum, in right of hi3
wife, heirefs of William Eureaux, earl of Sarum.
5 H. III. this chace was granted to John , Conftable of
Cheftere. In 1645, Little Lodge here, belonging to
lady Bankes , and leafed at a referved rent of 20 1.
per annum, was fequeftered.
Here is a chapel of eafe, dedicated to St. James ,
and officiated in on Sunday afternoons, by one of
the minifters of Winbourn, except from All Saints
day to Candlemafs. The inhabitants bury at Win-
bourn. The patrons, before the Reformation, were
the lords of Kingfton-Lacy. This chapel was an¬
ciently a chantry, or had a chantry erefted in it.

Roger Gillingham , efq. by will, dated 1 695, gave
400 1. to build an alms-houle for four men and four
women, of the parifti of Winborn-Minfter, with a
fchool-houfe and chamber for the fchool-mafter.
This was done foon after his death, at the end of
Pamphili, near the river Stour, and endowed agree¬
able to his will.
Stone, a tithing, hamlet, and two farms, part of
the manor of Kingfton-Lacy, diftant from Kingfton-
II all about three fourths of a mile S. E.
Thornhill, a farm* of which we have no an¬
cient or modern account, but that, 52 E. I, Hugh de
la Hide held forty acres of land here of H. de Lacy,
earl of Lincoln.
Walfoed, a farm in the tithing of Stone, the
inheritance of which was fold by the earl of New¬
port to John Gun dry , gent, juft before fir J. Bankes
purchafed the manor of Kingfton-Lacy of the faid
earl. It now belongs to Thomas and Radford Gun-
dry , of Divelifli, efqrs. Here were two or three free¬
holds in this manor; for, 16E. IV, Thomas Dixon,
efq. held, at his death, ten meffuages, four fliops,
one Ihamble in Winbourn-Minifter ; two meffuages,
and fixty acres of land in Kingfton-Lacy ; one mef-
fuage, and twelve acres in Holt ; one water-mill, and
one fulling-mill in Winborn and Holt, as of the ma¬
nor of Kingfton-Lacy ; Edward his fon and heir
set. 3. They feem to have been afterwards forfeited
to the crown ; for, 1 E. VI, efcheat lands, alias
Dixon’s Lands, in Kingfton-Lacy, were granted to
the duke of Somerfet . 5 Eliz. Capons, alias Dixon’s
lands, were granted to Edward Philips. They now
belong to fir William Hannam, bart.
Another freehold feems to have belonged to the
Filiolsi 19 H. VIII. fir William , at his death, held
Barford of the king as of his duchy of Lancafter s.
Soon after Walter Newborough held here a toft, x 84
acres of land, and 20 s. rent of the lady Wharton,
as of the manor of Kingfton-Lacy, by rent of 2 s.
Hence it came to the heirs of lady Wharton ; for,
1645, lands here, value, 1641, 30 1. per annum,
being divided between Lad Rifby , ..... Dal/lon
and Mullens were fequeftered.
Some lands in this manor formerly belonged to the
Delalinds, whence they paffed to the More tons of
Milborri St. Andrew. 3 and 4 Philip and Mary, fir
George Delalind held lands in Winborn, clear yearly
value, 3 1. 17 s. 4d. ; alfo lands, viz. twelve acres in
Kingfton-Lacy, clear yearly value, 10 s. 33, 37 Eliz.

Here was anciently a Chapel. 4 E. VI. St. Ca¬
tharine, alias le Armitage , was granted to Robert,
Thomas, and Andrew Salter , and the heirs of Robert.
A meadow, now called St. Catharine's, lies a little
eaft of the deanry: bones are dug up thereabout, but
there are no remains even of the feite of the chapel.
Petersham.
This tithing is in the pariftx of Winborn-Minfter,
but in the hundred of Cranbourn. In Domelday
Book h Peterjham is furveyed in two parcels, one
held by Odo fil. Eurebold , confifted of one carucate.
The other was held by Ifeldis, and confifted of one
carucate, worth 15 s. It feems anciently to have
belonged to the Malmaines , but came to Galfrid Gaf-
celine by Joan, daughter and coheirefs of Thomas
Malmaines. Galfrid Gafcelin held in Peterflxam one
meffuage and three virgates of land of the inheri¬
tance of Joan his wife, held of the earl of Glou-
cefter ; and one virgate of John Deverel, Edmund
his fon and heir, act. 30 e. 20 E. III. John de Gan-
guil, Edmund Gafcelin , and Henry Werle, held one
fourth of a fee here, which William Fraunceys, John
Ganguil, and Philip Eleys formerly held. 20 E. III.
Edmund Gafcelin held one fourth of a fee which
William Gafcelin formerly held. 49 E. III. Galfrid y
fon of Edmund Gafcelin, held at his death, ten marks
yearly rent iffuing out of the manor of Pytrichefam ,
which Robert Bridmere held for his life, by leafe
[ex dimiffione ] of the faid Galfrid, with the reverfion
of the faid manor, after the death of the faid Ro¬

Gaunts, anciently a manor, now only a farm,
lying about- one mile and a halt N. E. front Hony-
Brook. The houfe is in the parifh of Hinton-Martel,
and part of the farm i the other part in this tything.
It formerly belonged to Sr John Leigh , whofe leffee
. , Swaxne bought it in fee, and by his
daughter it came to John Hookes, efq. late clerk of
the Houfe of Commons, whofe father, defeended from
a family feated at Aberconway, near Carnarvon in
Wales, built the houfe, which is a fmall but neat
fabric. Tradition fays it was a feat of John of
Gaunt, whence its name is derived. There are the
remains of an old moat round the houfe, which
feems to imply that it was anciently a feat of fome
note.
Wilkesworth, Wcdekcfworth , a manor and farm
in this tything, fituated about one mile S. from High-
Hall. It feems anciently to have belonged to the
Mortimers, earls of March. 1 1 H. VI. Anne, coun-
tefs of March, held one third of this manor. 12
R. II. Bartholomew Picot, chivaler, held this manor,
and one meffuage, forty acres of land, and 4s. rent
in Holiwel for life, by grant of Lionel, late duke of
Clarence, the reverfion belonging to his heir the
earl of March. The manor was held of the heir of
John le Irifh, of Edmondefham, but a parcel of it of

fton-Lacy : Bartholomew, his fon and heir net. 14. 1
24 H. VIII. Henry Huffey died feifed of one meffuage

was granted to queen Catharine Howard', and 35 H.
VIII. to queen Catharine Parr. But the dean of
Winbourn feems to have had fome concern here;
for 1 R. III. John Huffee held one meffuage and
106 acres of land in Little-Wedekefworth, in the pa-
ri(h of Winbourn-Minfter, of Walter Herte, dean,
in right of his church. The manor and farm now
belong to fir William Hanham.
Part of Upwinborn Monkton tything pays tythe,
church and poor rate to Winbourn-Minfter, and lies
in that parifh, though this part of the tything is diftant
feven or eight miles from the other part. It chiefly
belongs to Mr. Fitch.
The Church of Winbourn-Minfter,
formerly collegiate and a free royal chapel, is an
ancient, venerable, and regular fabric, built in form
of a croft, in the fafhion of a cathedral. Dr.
Stukeley 1 is of opinion, in which other antiquaries
concur, that the Eaftern tower, and molt part of the
church, was built before the Conqueft : and indeed the
femicircular arches on the Eaftern tower, the falle
windows in the S. tranfept, and the pillars and
arches that fupport the tower there, are thought to
be in the Saxon ftile. Leland m gives us this account
of it : “ The cryptes in the eft part of the chirch
“ is an old peace of work. St. Cuthberga was bu-
“ ryed in the N. fide of the prefbyterie; king Ethel-
“ drede was byried by her, whos tumbe was lately
“ repaired, and a marble ftone ther lay id , with an
“ image of a king, in a plate of braffe, with this in-
“ feription : In hoc loco quiefeit corpus St. Ethddredi,
“ regis Weftfaxonum, marlyris, qui A0 Dom. 827,
“ 13“ Aprilis, per mams Danorum pagar.brum occu-
“ buit. Cuthburga fins was tranflated to the E. end
“ of the high altare. Erie John, of Somerfet, or, as
“ I rather think, John Duke of Somerfet, his fun,

“ ith in a goodly large tumbe of marble in the S.

“ the VII. foundid and endowid a grammar fchole,
“ in Winburne. The minifter of the chirch of Win-
“ burne hath a praty houfe or college to inhabite.
“ The deane hath a fair houfe.”
Dr. Tanner fays it was firft dedicated to the B.
V. Mary, perhaps in conjunction with St. Cuthberga,
to whom that honour feems generally to be appropri¬
ated.
It confifts of a chancel projecting beyond the ifles,
efpecially the S. ifle; a choir, nave, two fide ifles,
a tranfept, or crofs ifle, two towers, one in the mid¬
dle, the other at the W. end; three porches, one on
the N. which is arched over, and has a room above
it, and is oppofite to the fteps leading into the choir,
and feems to have been the principal one ; another
near the middle of the N. ifle : between thefe two is
a little door. On the S. fide is another large porch,
oppofite the principal one on the N. The whole
fabric is covered with lead, and compafs-roofed.
The chancel and choir are much raifed above the
body and the ifles, and the alccnt to them by feve-
ral fteps has a noble and grand appearance. In
1384, Nicholas, bifliop of Chryfopolis, was a bene-
faftor towards its repair. In 1464, dean Kvrn.er left
a legacy of 40 s. to the fame purpofe. The only
cathedral Tervice in this county is kept up in this
church on Sundays and holidays ; but the chanting
has been lately left off. Here are prayers every day
at the hours of 1 1 and 3.
The length of the whole church from E. to W. is
180 feet. Breadth of the body and flde ifles, each
60 feet.
The Chancel.
There is a noble afeent into it from the choir by 12
fteps, in three divifions. Both choir and chancel are fup<
ported by four pillars, over which are five windows on
the N. all open; and only three on the S. fide, but they
are much fmaller than thofe in the nave. In the E.
window is a coat of arms encircled with the garter,
confifting of 15- quartering^, many of which, parti¬
cularly the firft and laft, are defaced; but enough is
left to inform us that the coat belonged to one of
the Blounts lords Montjoy n. On the S. fide of the
altar are four large niches or flails handfomely
purfled; of which the three Weftern ones are . gra¬
dually lower than the firft, and the Eafternmoft has a
holy water bafon. The dimenfions of the chancel
and choir are 30 feet 4 inches, by 20 feet 6 inches.
Queen Cuthberga is fuppofed to have been in-
tombed in the Eaft wall.

Oa the N. fide of the altar on a brafs plate is the
effigies of a king, three quarters length, in royal
robes, with a crown on his head, and a Iceptre in his
hand : under him this infcription in Roman capitals:
IN HOC LOCO QUIESCIT CORPUS SANC-
XI ETHELllEDI REGIS WEST-SAXO-
NUM, QUI ANNO DOM. DCCCLXX1II.
23 DIE A Pill LIS, PER MANUS DACO-
RUM PAGAN O RUM OCCUBUIT.
Under the infcription is an efcotcheon charged
with a crofs patonce. In the veftry is preferved a
plate exactly like this (except that the effigies and
6rms are wanting) with this date, 872. Leland gives
us the fame infcription, except that he reads A. D.
872, 13 die. Mr. Camden gives us alfo the fame,
but reads 872, 23 Aprilis. Mr. Coker reads requi-
efeit, and 8 Aprilis.
Mr. Camden adds, king Ethelred’s tomb was not
long lince repaired. There is now no tomb, nor marks
of any one, but the brafs plate is fixed to a Rone on
the floor. He was perhaps buried in the wall or in
the crypt.
The Saxon Chronicle puts Ethelred’s death after
E after, 871, and takes no notice of the Danes oc-
cafloning it: no more does Matthew of Weftmin-
fter, who puts it 9 cal. Maii, 871. Simeon Dunel-
menfls, Huntingdon and Hoveden agree with the
Saxon Chronicle. The firft writer who tells us that
Ethelred received his death’s wound from the Danes
at the battle of Reading, is Brompton 0 ; who alfo
gives us the name of the Danifh general Somerled.
The Sumojfiiba of the Saxon Chronicle has by all
other writers and critics been taken literally for an
army, a calamity or a cejfation of bo/lilities during that
Jammer. The two latter would not have been
extraordinary as confined to Reading, and nobody
feems to have reflected that by placing the king’s
death after Eafter and after the former event the or¬
der of feafons, is inverted.
Though the laft battle in which this prince had any
concern feems by this reafoning to have been at
Reading, Mr. Carte1’, adhering to bifliop Gibfon’s
yerlioiHof the Saxon Chronicle, places it at Mer-
den in Wilts, for fo he underftands the Meretun,
Mcredune , Merendune , or Merantune of that chronicle.
Others contend for Merton in Surrey, and Mere¬
tun in Oxfordlhire. Matthew of Weftminfter and
Hoveden call it Mere ton ; Huntingdon, Meredune;
Brompton, Merton.
Thole who fuppofe this prince to have died of
the plague, underhand Sumejihn.a of an unhealthy
fummer.
Juft above the afeent from the choir, on the N.
fide, is an altar tomb of grey marble, under an arch.
On the remaining brafs plates, which once went
round the verge, is this iniperfett infcription :

This is for Qertrude daughter of William Blount,
lord Montjoy, lecond wife of Henry Courtney, mar¬
quis of Exeter and mother of Edward Courtney laft
earl of Devonlhire. She with her husband (who was
beheaded 30 H. VIII.) Margaret, countel's. of Sarum,
and others, was attainted of high treafon again ft
king EL VIII. but was pardoned and died 1558. Her
tomb being opened fome years fince out of curiofity,
and repaired, the body was found wrapped up in
cerecloth. There were feveral fhields in quarterroils
upon the fides of the tomb, but they arc now torn
off <t.
Oppofitc to this on the S. fide, under an arch, is
an altar tomb of grey marble, on which are the
effigies in alabafter of a man and woman, holding

She is dreffed in a ftrait garment with a veil and collar

and two on the third. There is now no brafs plate,
efcutcheon, or infcription, on or round the tomb, nor
figns that there were any. It was ere&ed for John
duke of Somerfet, and Margaret his wife, daughter
of fir John Beauchamp, of Bletfo, lent, and filler and
heir of John Beauchamp, reliCl of Oliver St. John,
knt. He diftinguilhed himfelf in the French wars
under H. VI. who a. r. 21. created him duke of
Somerfet, and lieutenant and captain general of the
whole realm of France and Normandy s. He died
27 May, 22 H. VI. 1444. The time of her death
I have not found. By her firft husband ftie had
John, and Oliver St. John, anceftors of the pre¬
sent vifeounts Bolingbrook, and the lords St.John of
Bletfoe. By her fecond, Mary countefs of Rich¬
mond, mother of H. VII. Dugdale fays £, ftie mar¬
ried to her third husband, Leonard lord Welles, fiain
at Towton, by whom fhe had John, created vifeount
Welles, 3 H. VII. ; but there is no mention of him
in the fine pedigree of the St. John family painted on
the N. fide of the chancel at Lediard Tregofe, c.
Wilts, the ancient feat of the St. Johns.
Below the marchionefs of Exeter’s tomb, on a black
marble tablet on the wall is this infcription :
Here lies, in expectation of a glorious refurree*
tion, the body of Confiant Jeff op, fometime
paftor of this place, who after he had lived
53 years, exchanged this mortal life, for an
immortal, the 16 day of April, A. D. 1658.

Under the chancel is a vault, called by Leland <e a
“ crypte” and “ an old peace of worked’ Connoifleurs
conjecture, it was made in the time of king Stephen.
You defcend into it from the N. and S. ifles by eight
fteps. It is fupported by four pillars, two oftagon and
two hexagon, and the roof is vaulted with Hone. It
is eight yards and a half long, and fix broad, and
is paved with fmall glazed bricks, on fome of which
are lions, and fleur de lys. At the E. end is a win¬
dow,' and a nich. It is called St. Mary’s chapel.
Here was probably fome chantry, but we have no
particular account of it. Under the chancel alfo is
Mr. Bankes’s vault, the entrance into which is from
hence.
The Choir •
The afcent from the nave into the choir is by fix
Heps, three at the outer, and three at the inner door.
There is a defcent of fix Heps into the N. and five
into the S. ifles. Here are feven flails on each fide,
befides two on each fide of the upper end, which are
covered with canopies of carved oak. At the W.
end is a hand fome organ, which no doubt always
flood here. We find it was fet up 24 Id. VIII. by
John Vauks; and about 1664, by . Hayward,
repaired from time to time at great expence, and
rebuilt and opened in 1764. Between the choir and
the nave, there is a vacant fpace, with femicireular
arches, under the tower fronting both ways ; a ftile
ufed in old churches, and fuch a fpace is ftill to be feeii
in the church of St. Peter’s at Oxford. Over the
choir door is 1610, the date when the repair of the
E. tower and church were finifhed, after the fall of
the fpire.
At the lower end of the choir under the officiat-
ing minifter’s flail, on a brafs plate, nailed to the
outfide of the feat, is this infcription :

The Nave
is fupported by fix pillars, over which are fix pretty
large windows on each fide, anfwering to thofe in the
ifles. Three arches on each fide the Have are pointed
and adorned with zigzag mouldings. The other two
nearer the W. tower, are pointed, and have oftagon
pillars of later date. At the lower end, is a large
o&agonal font.
At the E. end of the North Isle is a low altar
tomb of flone, much decayed, and on it a half figure
of a man armed in a coat of mail, and Afield, and a
lion under his head, but all much defaced. On the
wall, above, and at the feet, are painted on three
efcotcheons, Az. three lions rampant G. in a bor-
dure engrailed. Tradition fays it' is for one Fitz-
Piers or Peters, buried here 500 years ago. On
his lhield are the fame arms. The Fitz-Piers were
anciently lords of Hinton Martel.

y Crypts or chapels under choirs of cathedral churches are not uncommon. But the only inftance in a parilh church like this is
perhaps that at Gresford, in Flintfhire. It is not improbable the body of king Ethcldred may lie in this chapeJ.

flone for one of the deans. The carving is very
rudely done.
The Eallern Tower Hands at the interfeHion of
the nave and choir, open like a lanthorn, and adorned
with pinnacles and battlements. It contains only a
fire-bell. On it formerly Hood a fpire, which tra¬
dition fays was very lofty. Mr. Coker c gives this
account of its fall ; “ 1600 the choir being full of
“people at 10 o’clock fervice, and the Hreets, it
“ being market-day, a fudden milt and tempefl arifing,
“ the lpire being of a great hight fell, and battered
“ the lead, and broke the timber of the roof, yet was
“ no one hurt.” This accident is placed by fome in
the year 1610 ; which is more probable, and feems to
be confirmed by that date being placed over the
choir door ; when no doubt the damage done to the
roof was repaired.
The Bell-Tower Hands at the wefi end of the
church, and does not feem to be of equal anti¬
quity with the former. It is adorned with pinna¬
cles and battlements like the former. In an old ac¬
count of the churchwardens of Winborn it is faid,
that,- 1459, dean Keymer gave 20 s. towards there-
building of the Bell-tower. In it are fix mufical
bells. Here is an ancient clock called an Oriel, on
which is figured the time of the day and night, with
the body of the fun, moon, and earth, in their feve-
ral pofitions. On the N. fide of the tower, in the
upper windows, is the effigies of a man with an ham¬
mer in each hand^ and a finall bell on each fide to
{trike the quarters. Both thefe towers are ninety
feet high. , _ , v, v. ,, ,, . , ,
In this church, as the Saxon annals inform us,
was buried king Sigeferth , who killed himfelf A. D.
961. He feems to have been a petty prince among
the WeR Saxons. Not long fince fir Bradivardine
Jcickfon , bart. died a batchelor, and was buried here,
having refided here , the latter part of his life. His
ancefiors, one of whom was created a baronet 1660,'
were feated at Hicklcton, c. York.
In this church were feveral chantries.
. ... ;• I 1
Bremeer’s, or the Great Chantry, was founded
by ’Thojnas Br ember, dean of this church ; who or¬
dained four chaplains to pray for his foul, and thofe
of other benefaflors to it. 29 E. III. tenements in
Waltford, Chelbrig, Kingfion, &c. given for a chan¬
try of one Warden, cuHos, and four chaplains, founded
in this church by Thomas de Brembre, dean A. 29
E. III. it was found not to the king’s detriment to give
licence to. Henry Blakkatt, to give three mdfuages,
and Roger Selyman one mefFuage in Winburn, to
the facrift and chaplains of a certain chantry, to be
founded in the king’s free chapel there, by T. de
Brembre, for their habitation for ever r. , In 1:5,4,
the rectory of Shapwick was appropriated to it.
3 E. LI. this chantry and the capital mefi'uage were
granted to Richard Ware and Bartholomew Gihbes ,
and their heirs. 29 Eliz. a clofe called Dubblcjhay ,
in Winbourn, belonging to this chantry, was leafed
to Robert Hiifjey for 21 years. See more of this

In this church is preferred a very remarkable old
chefi, compofed of one folid piece of oak. The
cavity is formed in a moH rude and unworkmanlike
manner ; not with fire, indeed,, as, the Indian canoes
are, but in other refpefts refembling their manner.
It feems to be coeval with the church. Such are

The return to the commiffion, 1650, is much to
the fame effect as is before given in the hiftory of the
corporation in the year 1658; But it adds, that
home lands in the parifli were held tythe-free ; fome
prefcribed fmall modus ; fome part of the tythes
were fold by the crown before the patents were
granted ; others prefcribed to pay tythes to other
churches. The refidue of the tythes belonging to
the corporation, difperfed through the parifli, are
worth 400 1. per annum, were they all in hand ; but
the leafes being yet unexpired, the revenues of the
governors amount but to about 220 1. per annum.
The governors have choien Mr. William Hunt,, of
Salisbury, to be their minifter . Bartlet ferves
the leClnre, and Philip Taylour the chapel of Holt.
The governors apply the profits to the ufe of the
mailer and ufher of the fchool, the minifter, lec¬
turer, clerks, the maintenance of the fchool-houfe,
the mini (let’s houfe, and chancel of the church, &c.
In the ab fence of Mr. Hunt, the governors fupply
the church with neighbouring miniflers, allowing 20 s.
for two fermons on Sunday. They aflign 100 1. per
annum to Mr. Hunt — ho Mr. Bartlet 40 1. — to Mr.
Taylour 20 1. — to Mr. Kidgel, the fchoolmafter, 30 1.
per annum i — and to the clerk 61. 13 s. 4d. The
red of the revenues remain for the reparations. The
chapel of Holt is fit to have a minifter of its own.
They had no need of any new church or chapel, for
though the parifh be fpacious, it is but thin, and the
laid church and chapel are fu flic lent.
The Incumbents, or three miniflers, are elected
by the corporation ; obliged to refldence in the parifh,
and ferve the church by rotation, each in their week.
The regifler gives the following lift: of thofe who
were buried in the church.

William Stone, LL. B. a native of this town, was
chofen minifter here as foon as he was of age. He
fcrved in the king’s army during the civil wars, but
when the king’s fortune declined he travelled beyond
fea. At the Reftoration he returned hither, and
afterwards had the ftnecure re&ory of Northop in
Flintfliire, and was principal of New Inn1 Hall, Ox¬
ford c, where he died 1680, cet. 70, and was buried
in St. Michael’s church there, where is a monument
and infcription. He founded an hofpital in St. Cle-
t Wood’s Athen. Oxon. II. 1172. ■ See his Epitaph, ij

ment’s, Oxford, was a bcnefaffor to St. Margarets
holpital here, and founded the library over the
vellry room.
Conftant Jeffop was educated at Jefus College, Ox¬
ford, but removed. to Trinity College, Dublin. In
1641 he took the covenant, and was .-beneficcd at
Coggefhall in Effex'; thence removed hither, pro¬
bably on the ejection of Mr. Stone. In 1654 he
was afnftant to the commiffiofters for ejecting fcan-
dalolis and ignorant miniflers and fchoolraajffers, and
afterwards vicar of St. Nicholas in Briilol. He died
here 1658 u. See more of him and his writings in
Wood’s Atneri. Oxon. vol. II. p. 269. Wood fays,
he finds him re&or of Fyfield, Effex, 1660; but as
he' owns he could get no good account of him, and
he is not placed there by any other writer, this muff
be a miflake. Conflant Jeffop, his fon, I). D. was
prebend of Durham, and rector of Bring ton, c.
Northampton, where he was buried' 1695, mt. 55.
Peter Dene, LL. D. canon of Winbotnrn,' York,
London, Wells, and Southwell, an excellent clerk
and lawyer, and a man of great' abilities, affords us a
melancholy mftance of the artifice and tyranny of the
monks. In 1322, by reafon of the violence of the
enemies of Thomas earl of Lancaffer, his patron, he
became a monk at St. Augufline’s, Canterbury ; but
under fuch conditions as entirely exempted him front
the monadic obligations, he living in a feparate houfe
within the precin&s, and only wearing the habit.
He was a great benefactor to that monaflery, giving
it 450 marks, all his books and plate, and the pro¬
fits of his preferments. He was alfo a flout cham¬
pion for, and manager of, that houfe, in whole
cauie he was threatened with the utmoft violence of
refentment. But the perfecutions of the earl’s friends,
and his fears being blown over, and not being ab-
folutely profefled, he, in 1330, efcaped out of the ab¬
bey, but was foon brought back. The archbifhop of
Canterbury claimed him as not being a member of that
fociety ; but the bifhop of Norwich urged the abbot
to get him fhorn a monk by fair or foul means.
This advice they chofe to follow, and prefs him into
their fervice. Buc after they had done fo, his heart
failed him, and he appealed to the pope, who di¬
rected the prior of the Holy Trinity at Canterbury
to determine the matter. After much contention on
both fldes, the monks of St. Auftin got the better,
and retained their monk ; but not without paying a
fine of 40 1. to the archbifhop for his refeue x.
Before the Reformation each of the four preben¬
daries had a houfe belonging to their prebends.
There is now but one, fo that either the reft: are
gone to ruin, or the four are reduced to one. It
ftands oppofite the fchool, and is generally the refl¬
dence of the fenior minifter.
Benefactions to the Church and Poor.
Mary, widow of John G undry , of Winbourn, gent,
by will, dated 1617, proved 1618, ordered her body to
be buried in the choir, near her husband, and gave a
houfe and garden at the E. end of the church-yard,
afterwards called the Angel-Inn," for the reparation of
the church, and maintenance of the fervice therein :

and to the life of the poor a yearly rent of 40 s. pay¬
able out of her lands, &c. It is now. regularly paid
at Eafter, to the overfeers, out of Walford farm in
this parifh. , .
Thomas Lyne , of Bradford-Bryan, gent, by will,
16a 1,- dire&cd'his body to be buried in tKe S. ifle of
this church, near fir Edmund Uvedale’s monument ;
and gave for the reparation of that ifle for ever 3 s. 4d.
yearly, and 40 s. yearly to the poor of this parifh ;
and charges the tythe of his farm at Bradford, and
his lands called Whitehall, at Burley in Ringwood,
for the payment thereof. A commiffion of charitable
lifes was taken out ; and on an inquifition 21 Jac. I.
the commiffioners direfted, that the faid tythes and
land fliould for ever (land chargeable with thefe pay¬
ments ; and that what related to this parifh fliould be
paid at Ch rift mis and Midfummer yearly, to the con-
ftables and churchwardens, who after Eafter were to
give an account to the juftices of peace. Mr. Lyne
gave alfo 6 If yearly towards bringing up a poor fcho-.
lar at Oxford or Cambridge, to be taken out of
Ringwood free*fchool every third or fourth year ; and,
for want of fuen there, out of W inbourn or Sherborn
fchools ; and charges the faid tythes and lands with
the payment. But there being no grammar-fchool at
Ringwood, ah abufe is crept into this charity : a lad
is brought every fourth year from another fchool to
Ringwood, and entered there for a fhort time, and
then lent to the univerfity with this exhibition.
Bernard Michel, of Waymouth, merchant, by will,
dated 1646, gave to the poor of Winbourri 20 s.
yearly for ever. .. , . f
Robert Hidden, one of the clerks (who died i<53i)
gave a [filver] flaggon, value 30 1. to be u fed at the
facrament.

ther Williarri, for their naturaliives ; and afterwards dc-
vifes the inheritance towards the llipport of four poor

THE refemblance of the names has occafioned
an ingenious conjecture, that this part of the
county might belong to Cogidubnus , or Cogidumnus a,
a Britifh prince, and an ally of the Romans ; who,
as Tacitus tells us b, gave him feveral \_civi tales} cities
or ftates. It does not appear with any certainty
over what people he reigned. Camden fays, he was
king of the Regni , people of Surry and Suflex ; Dr.
Gale, of the Segontiaci , who, according to Baxter, pof-
feffed the fea-coaft from Dorfet to Kent. He is
mentioned in a Roman infcription found at Chi*
chefter. But in general it is plain that he reigned
fomewhere in the fouthern part of the ifland ; and as
the word civitas , in Tacitus, is taken in a very large
fenfe for a confiderable traCt of country, part or all
of Cogdean hundred might have belonged to him,
and received his name. Mr. Guthrie c fuppofes,
that thefe territories were afligned him by the Ro¬
man general Oftorius, to keep this part of the ifland
quiet during his expedition againft the Silures.
Claudia Rufa, (mentioned by St. Paul d, and by
Martial), who was wife of Pudens, is fuppofed to be
the daughter of Cogidumnus. She and her husband
were Chriftians.
Very early after the Conqueft, this hundred, which
was always an appendage to the manor of Canford,
and belonged to the lords of it, was held by Peter
Lucyan. Afterwards it came to the Longfpees earls of
Santm : thence to the dukes of Lancajier and earls of
Lincoln. 20 R. II. ‘Thomas Holland , earl of Kent,
held it. 14 H. VI. John duke of Bedford. 1 E. VI.
Edward duke of Somerfet , and other grantees of the
manor. 10 Jac. L it was granted to John IVebb ,
efq. and now belongs to fir John Webb, barr. There
is a coroner appointed for this hundred. In an
inquifition, upon the death of Henry earl of Lincoln,
4 E. II. it is faid, that the hundred of Cokeden
belongs to the manor of Canford : the court of it
ought to be held fix times a year, viz. at the feafts
of St. Mark, St. Nicholas, Candlemas, Bokeday,
St. John Baptift, and Candlemas : the pleas and
perquifites of court are of the yearly value of 26 s.
8 d.
CANFORD-GREAT,
Canford -Magna.
This parifh, including all its members, is a large
one, and lies about two miles S. E. from Winborn-
Minfter, on the S. fide of the river Stour, in the E.
part of the hundred. It belonged to the duchy of
Lancafter. Here were formerly two parks.
In Domefday Book e, Cheneford was held by
Edward of Sarisberie. It confifted of 18 carucates.
This manor, and that of Chineftanefton, (i. e. Kin¬
ftanton) were worth, when he received them, 50 1.
now 70 1.

[A] He was bora in England, and was Filed, in Domefday Book, fieri if of Wiltlhire ; which office was for feme time hereditary in
his family, whence he was named de Sarilberie. He then poflefled the manors of Canford and Kinllanton, three lordlhips in Somerfet-
Ihire, one in Surry, two in Hamplhire, one in Middlefex, tWo in Hertfordfhire, two in Bucks, and 33 in Wiltlhire. He witneiled the
foundation charter of Selby- Abbey. 20 H. I. he was the king’s Fandard- bearer at the battle of Brenneville in Normandy ; alter w hich
we hear no more of him [ 1 ].
[B] He founded the priory of canons regular of St. Auguftine, at Bradenltoke, c. Wilts, 1139, 5 Stephen, as Mr. Pitt s MS. ; where,
after his wife’s death, he took the habit, and died, and was buried in one grave with his wife, in the choir there. He gave the church of
Canford and St. James at Poole to that priory.
[C] He was fteward of the houfehold to the empvefs Maud, and by her made earl of Salilbury : was ffieriff of Wilts for the firft fix
years of H. II. 12 H. II. on the aid for marrying the king’s daughter, he certified his knights fees to be 78 and -f. He gave part of
the manor of Wilecote, c. Wilts, to the canons of Bradenltock, in lieu of the church of Caneford, and chapel of St. Andrew at Cettre.
Being the king’s lieutenant in Acquitain, 1167, 13 H. II. he was flain there by Guy de Lufignan (whofe callle the king had juft taken,
and left to his charge) and buried at St. Hilarier in Poidtiers. According to Mr. Pitt’s MS. he had two brothers, Walter and William,
who were both canons of Bradenftok ; and two Ions, Patrick and Philip, canons of .... .
[D] Fie died 1 196, 8 R. I. Ela, his foie daughter and heir, being a great fortune, was kept privately in Normandy ; whence fi e was
brought over into England, and prefented to Richard 1. who married her to William Longfpee, his natural brother ; to whom lie gave
the earldom of Rofmar, the inheritance of Ela, by defeent from Edward de Sarilberie, on the death of William de Mefchines, fitih and
lail earl of Rofmar, without iifue. The feat of this family was at the caftle at Old Sarum.
[E] He was fo named from the long fword he wore, and was natural fon ot king FI. II. by Fair Rofamond. He adhered faithfully to
kin<* John during the beginning of his reign, but afterwards lided with the barons who called in the dauphin. Alter John’s death, quir¬
ting the party of prince Lewis, 1 H. III. that king [2] made him ffieriff of the county of Somerfet, and governor of the caftle ot Sher-
born. Soon after he went to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damietta in Egypt. He returned 5 FI. III. and was afterwards
engaged in feveral military expeditions. He died, asfuppofed, of poifon given him at an entertainment by Hubert de Burgh, on the nones
of March, 1226, 10 H. III. at the caftle of Old-Sarum, and was buried in the church there. His tomb was removed to Salilbury ca¬

1227, 11 H. III. on a report of her hufband’s being loll at fea, Hubert de Burgh folicited her for a relation of his. The earl’s refent-
ment for this was afterwards thought to have colt him hi$ life. In 1233, 1 7 H* HI. fhe. founded a nunnery at Laeock in that county,

33 years old. Eighteen years after (viz. 1 237) ffie refigned, and five years after died, and was buried in the choir there ; 9 cal. Sept.
1261, set. 76, as the Lacock Regilter.
[G] Our hiflorians, but not our records, give him the- title of earl of Salifbury. He indeed laid claim to' it, but in vain ; for he was
deprived of that title, and his eftate and caftle. In 1240 he took the crofs, and went to the Holy-Land with Richard ear) of Cornwall,
ike. and returned 1242. I11 1247, 31 H. III. he took the crofs again. In 1249, 33 H. III. he accompanied the king of France into
Egypt, and was ilain near Damietta. In 1232, 36 H. III. Saladin, having buried his body before, delivered his bones to the- Chriftians,
which were interred in the church of the Holy Crofs at Acre. Sandford gives him. another fon, named Edmund, and a daughter, named
Ela, wife of James lord Audley of Heleigh. But we have no account of thefe in'Dugdale.
[KJ He polfefled all the lands his father died felled of but, according to Camden, never enjoyed the title of earl of Salifbury. He
died'yoitng, 1 327, 41 H. III. By a charter fans date, he granted to the monaftery of Thetford two marks yearly rent out 6f his two
mills, one at Karteford, the other at le Latigefle, which is on the fea, to be held of him by 2 s: 4d. rent per annum [3]. His widow*
complained to king H. III. that JolVn Gitfard had carried her by force from her manor-houfe at Kaneford to his caftle at Brimmesfield,
where he detained "her. He denied the charge, faying, that it was with Her confent, and tendering the king a fine of 300 marks for
marrying her without licence, it was accepted on' condition ffie made no further complaint [4]: The wardffiip and lands of his heiref?
were given full to prince Edward, and afterwards to the queen. 41 H. III. Edmund de Lacy gave the king ten tharks of gold, to
marry his fon Henry to Margaret his eldeft daughter and coheir ; and that year had livery of her lands. A MS. cited by fir William
Dugdale [5] lays, ffie took to her fecond huffiand Walter Walrond, of Sutton- Walrond in this county. But this is a miitake, for
ffie died before her huffiand Lacy, who had a fecond wife [6] : nor does he mention this marriage in his account of the Wafroud
family.
[1] He was of an ancient family which came in with the Conqueror [7] ; and, 1272, 56 H. III. was made earl of Lincoln, Having
been fong married, and fearing he ffiould have no children, 20 E. I. he furrendered his manors and lands, c: York, &rc. and manor of
Kingfton in Dorfet ; on which the king, 21 E. I. regranted them to him and his heirs ; remainder to Edmund earl of Lancafter, the
king’s brother, and his heirs : and 22 E. I. regranted him the premifes for life. In the following years he was in feveral expeditions into
France and Scotland ; and 29 E. I. was made governor of Corf-caftle. He died at his houle in Lincoln’s-Inn, London (which he built),
1312, 3 E. IL and was buried in the E. part of the new work of St. Paul’s cathedral, between the chapels of our Lady and St. Dunftan.
He was felled at his death of feveral caftles, manors, &c. in the counties of Stafford and Derby; and, by the courtefy of England, of ffie
inheritance of his wile, and feveral other manors, See. c. Bucks ; and the town and hamlet of Winburn in this county. By a record
cited at Kingllon-Lacy, t. E. I. Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, claimed this manor, and the hundred of Cocdene, as the inheritance
of Margaret his wife. And it appeared that John Gitfard and his wife held the manor in dotem J'uam ; and; that the hundred did not be¬
long to the manor, becaufe William Longefpeye, grandfather of the faid Mhrgaret, had the faid hundred of Peter Lucyan, in exchange
lor rhe land of Wamberge. He alfo died foiled of this manor, held in chief of the king by knight’s fervice, belonging to the earldom of
Sarum, of the inheritance of Margaret de Longfpey ; the manor of Charlton for life ; a rent ot 40 s. per ann. payable by the burgefles

[K] Thomas Plantagenet, earl of Lancafter (fon of Edmund earl of Lancaffer, younger fon of king Henry III. who died 24 E. I.),.
married, 4 E. II. Alice, foie daughter and heir of Henry earl of Lincoln. He was generally upon ill terms with the king, beinp-
always at the head of the oppofition againft the king’s favourites, Gavefton and the Spencers. At laid, provoked by their infolence, he
took arms again!! them ; but in an engagement with the king’s forces at Boroughbridge in Yorkffiire, he was taken prifoner, and carried
to Pontefraft, and by order of the king beheaded there, 16 E. II. Though his character was dubious, being accufed by fome of adul¬
tery, cruelty, and injustice, yet the common people reputed him to be a laint, and miracles were reported to have been done at his tomb,
in the abbey of Pontefract, where he was buried [9].
[L] She, 10 E. II. 1317, being at Canford, was violently taken thence by a knight of the family of John earl of .Warren (with the
king’s aflent), and carried in great flate, in deipight of her huffiand, to the laid earl of Warren, then at his callle of Rygate in Surry. In
their paflage through the woods, between Haulton and Farnham, her conductors, difeerning the dreamers and banner of fome prieffs and
people going in proceflron, fuppoling they were the earl of Lancafter, or fome of his friends, coming to refeue her, fled, and left her
alone; but, perceiving their miitake, returned, and with them a perfon of very low ftature, lame, and hunch-backed, called Richard
Martin, who challenged her for his wife, confidently affirming a precontract, and that he had carnally known her before her marriage
with the earl, which ffie denied not. Whereupon he claimed the earldoms of Lincoln and Saliffiury in her right, and brought an aCtioa
in Weltminfter-Hall : on which the pope lent two cardinals to make peace between the king and the earl of Lancafter and the barons -
which fo exafperaied the latter, and the earl their head, that it ended in a rebellion, in which the earl met his fate, and the king at length,
loft his crown and life. After her huffiand’s death, being then 28 years old, ffie received livery of her dower, 16 E. II.; and the fame
year quitted to the king her right in the lordffiip of Canford, and leveral others in the counties of Wilts and Somerfet, in which J„
Warren, earl of Surry, had an eftate for life, but were her inheritance. 18 E. II. ffie married Eubulo le Strange, a younger fon of
John le Strange, of Knockin, c. Salop, the fourth of that name, made knight of the Bath, 19 E. II. and fummoned as a baron to par¬
liament from 20 E. II. to 9 E. III. inclufive. Upon this marriage he had the title of earl of Lincoln attributed to him, and the 20 1.
per aim. in lieu ol the third penny of that county. It is faid ffie had been repudiated feveral years before her huffiand’s death, and lived
in unlawful familiarity with earl le Strange before ffie married him. As fiie did this without the king’s licence, all her lands were feized
till fire delivered up a great part to Hugh de Spencer, the king’s favourite. Her eftate muft have been very large, flnee the remainder of
it amounted to 3000 marks per annum. She died without iflue, 1348, 22 E. III. set. 67, and was buried in the conventual church of
Berling, c. Lincoln, near Eubulo her huffiand, who died 9 E. III. poflefled of this manor, and the burgh of Blanford, pf the inheritance
of Alice his wife [10].

. ( ; j,, » i * * 1 * ? . •
This manor having paft through the hands of the
Eureaux and Longfpees, earls of Salifbury, came to
Alice, countefs of Salisbury and Lincoln. The lands
of that great inheritance, which defcended to her
from her father, by virtue of his grant and by the
grant of king E. I. before-mentioned, came to
Henry earl of Lancajl'er , brother and heir to Thomas
earl of Lancafter, her husband ; who Obtained the re-
verfal of his brother’s attainder, and reftitution of his
eftates. But though this manor of right belonged to
Alice, die was not poflefied of it at her death, nor
many years before; fdr 16 E. II. having furrendered
it to the king he granted it to Hugh de Spencer, on
whofe attainder it came to the crown, i E. III. the
king granted it to John earl of Warren and Surry , and
Johanna his wife, for their lives. 16 E. III. the
king made a reverfionary grant of it to Alice countefs
of Lincoln for her life. But it feems not to have
taken place ; for, 20 E. III. the earl of Warren held
two knights fees at Canford and Kyngefton, which
the earl of Lincoln formerly held. At his death, 2 1
E. III. he held this manor, as parcel of the earldom
of Surry, for term of life, jointly with Joan de Baar
his wife, by grant of king E. III. The reverfion
belongs to William , fon and heir of William Mon¬
teacute , late earl of Sarum, held of the king in chief,
by fervice of two knights fees. There is art hundred
called Cokedene, and quadam cufiuma , at le Pole ;
alfo the manof of Shapwick, and Kinftanton park f.
Joan his wife, though divorced, died, 35 E. III.
feifed of this manor* the hundred of Cokedene, and
the cuftoms [_cuftuma~\ of Pole *, fo that Monteacute’s
grant, 1 1 E. III. of this manor, and other eftates of
the earl of Lincoln* did not take place till this
year
Though the family of Monteacute came riot to the
poflefiion of Canford till 35 E. III. yet being very
ahciently poflefled of other eftates in this county, I
fhall give the reader an account of them here, as
being the chief place of their refidence.

, The original name of this family was Montaigue\
from a town of that name in Normandy h. Drogo
de Monteacute, fo ftiled in Domefda'y Book, came
over with the Conqueror, in the retinue of Robert
earl of Moreton ; under whom Drogo held one hide
of land in Bifhopfton, c. Somerfet, where the earl
had a caftle called Monfagut, in dilution to its fixa¬
tion on the top of a (harp hill *.
. 2 H. II. Richard de Monteacute paid 20 1. into the
Exchequer for ancient pleas; and, 7 H. II. 20 marks
for the knights fees he then held, on the collection
of a fcutage k. To him fucceeded Dru, or Drogo%
jun. ; who, 12 H. II. on the aid demanded for mar¬
riage of the king’s daughter, Certified his knights
fees in Somerfet and Dorfet to be nine and a half
and one-third de veteri feoffamento, and one de novo %
for which, 14 H. II. he paid ten marks. He died
Aliva his wife furviving him. See Pid-

anfwered, on the collection of the fcutage of Wales,
21 marks, 8 s. and 1 1 d. for1 the ten knights fees and
a half and one-third, which he then held in thofe
counties; 17 John, being one of the chief of the
rebellious barons, the king gave all his lands in Dot-
fet and Somerfet to Ralph de Ralegh. Pie feems to
have died foon after ; for, 1 H. III. the king granted
the wardlhip and marriage of his heir William , fori of
another Dru de Monteacute [f. brother of the firfi:
William], to Alan Ballet ; as appears from a grant,
1 1 H. III. to Alan Balfet, of the lands of the faid
William. 17 H. III. his lands were feized for not
receiving the dignity of knighthood ; but the next
year he had livery of them from the fheriff of Dorfet
and Somerfet. 30 H. III. he accounted for 6 1.

Adjoining to it to the north was, till very lately,'
a long range of the mod ancient building in the
county, the remains of the feat of the ancient lords
of this manor reprefented in the head-piece prefixed
to this hundred. Near the eaft end were the remains
of a very large gate, with a toiver over it, of which
only the ftair-cale remained. In the liable was a very
large chimney without any funnel, and a vaft fquare
window, reaching from the top to the bottom of
the houfe, projefting above three feet. Over this
another room, afeended to by narrow winding ftone
flairs, perhaps the dining room, in which was a chim¬
ney like the former. Towards the w7eft end was a
large old kitchin, called by the country-people John
of Gaunt’s Kitchin, It was made, a brew-houfe, and
had a remarkable large chimney, eighteen feet broad,
and fix feet and a half high in the crown of the
arch. The window's, though for the moll part
walled up, wrere fome elliptical, and fome fquare, but
did not projeft. On the outfide, at the eaft end, were
three very large chimnies entire, veay broad at the
bottom, but narrowing upwards by feveral in-beneh-
ings : the funnels were indented, or embattled on the.
top. The doors were finall and low ; fome fquare, and
the arches of others elliptical or circular ; the walls in
general four feet thick. Thefe buildings being en¬
tirely taken down, 1765, a ground-plot of them is'
here inlerted, together with the infeription on a finall
gold ring, dug up in fir John Webb’s garden, 1762.

Near the drain leading to the river were found, iri
grubbing up a tree, fome glazed paving-tiles, with
the bafe of a pillar of Purbeck marble.
This ancient houfe wasprobahly ere&ed by William
Monteacute firft earl of Sarum, or his father William.
Both of them were great builders : the firft obtained
licence of E. II. to make a caftle of his houfe .at Ker-
fyngton, c. Oxford p. The earl had king Edward Ill’s
pardon for embattling a certain part of his houfe at
Doneyate, or Donzate, c. Somerfet, without licence
This and the houfe of the Lonomevilles at Little Bil-
o
ling, c. Northampton (miftaken for a priory by Meffrs.
Buck, who engraved a view of it 1729), were perhaps
the only remains of other early manfion houfes.
In the manfion-houfe, probably at the eaft end, was
a chapel, value 10 1. one chalice of fix ounces, two

to the priory of Bradenftoke, to which it was doubtlels
given by the Eureaux or Long/pecs. It feems to have
remained in the crown after the diffolution for fome
time. 20 Eliz. the queen reciting, that the manor
of Canford-priory and the rectory were demifed for
thirty-two years, 6 H. VIII, by Thomas Walfhe,
prior of Bradenftoke, and 28 H. VIII, by William
Snow prior there, to Richard Philips for fifty years,
paying yearly 14 1. 13 s. q<\. ; fhe demifed them,

a manor, tything, hamlet, and chapelry fituated a

other manor called Cbinejletone, belonging to William
de Schoie, furveyed in Domefday Book u, but it is very
uncertain whether it is any part of this.
It anciently belonged to William de Eureux earl of
Sarum , who gave by charter, fans date, to the priory
of Bradenftock, a moiety of this manor x : the other
moiety was given them by Henry Lacy earl of Lincoln „
But it is certain it belonged to other poffeflbrs here¬
after mentioned, who perhaps might be only mefne
lords, or lelfees ; for we find in the inquifitions of
the Plecys of Winborn St. Giles, and their heirs,,
that they held this manor of the lords of Canford,
by fervice of 12 s. per annum.

The Lawns, a large tratt of barren heathy ground,
where are
The Mines. Below Canford, near Parkflon, Mr_
Camden tells us, is earth yielding allum. James
lord Montjoyy a curious fearcher into nature, found
materials, out of which he began to make caleanthum
or coperas, and boil allum. In 1571 fir Thomas
Smith attempted to tranfmute iron into copper; and
took a leafe of land of 300 1. per ann. of lady Mont-
joy, near Pool, hoping to find there ens of vitriol,
which was thought necefiary to perform this work
at a cheap rate. But next year it came to nothing ;
whether owing to its being impracticable, or the
unfkilfulnefs ol the undertaker employed by fir Tho¬
mas, or to the lord Montjoy’s gaining over one of
his chief workmen, is uncertain z..
The Church of Canford
Hands at the E. end of the in-parifh, near the feat
of fir John Webb.- It confifts of a chancel, body, a
N. ifle, almoft of equal length with the body, and
E. of that a chapel of equal length with the chance].
Between this chapel and the N. ifie Hands a plain
low tower, in which are five bells. There is a S.
ifie, which, with a chapel, is equal in length to the
body and chancel. At the E. end, proje&ing to the
S. is another chapel, 16 feet fquare, now ufed for
the confifiory court of this jurifdicftion, and a vefiry.
The body is covered with lead, the chancel, ides,
and chapels with tile. The whole fabric is very an¬
cient, low, dark, and irregular*
In the body are three arches on each fide, four of
which are femicircular, and two elliptical. The font is
an oftagon, Handing on a large round pillar, fupported
once by eight, now by three fmaller pillars. This
church is a royal and peculiar jurifdidHon, and, to¬
gether with Pool, vefled in fir John Webb, lord of
the manor ; who deputes fome neighbouring clergy¬
man to be his official.

In the N, E. corner of the chancel is. a tomb of
coarfe blue marble, about live feet long, and ten
inches high. It had an infcripiion on a brafs plate
that went round the verge, but is now gone.
Clofe by the head of the former is another tomb-

LICHET-MATRAVERS,
Lifcet, L^er-Lichet, Higher- Lichet.
This parifh is fituated partly on a hill, and partly
in a vale, a mile E. from E. Morden.. In Domefday
Book \ Lichet was held by Hugh , of William deOw.
It confided of eight carucates, once worth 9 1. now
10 1. After this its lords were the Maltravers , an¬
cient barons of this kingdom, who appear to have
had their refidence and burial here, and to have given
the additional name to this place.
This family occurs very early in 6ur records r.
Hugh Maltravers yvas a witnefs to a charter ‘which
king H. I. granted to the priory of Mor.teacute, c.
Somerfet ; and, 5 Stephen, William Maltravers gave

1 [B] He was the firft of this family that we are certain had any concern in this county. He took part with the barons ao-ainft klncr
John, but returned to his obedience 1 H. III. and 26 H. III. ; had furamons to attend the, king into France ; anddied 24 E.. I. lei fed eft
<?ne hide and a half, and half a virgate of land at Langton, and the advowfon of the church there ; the manor of Licher, held of Joap.
countefs of Gloucelfer and Hertford, by fervice of five knights fees ; the manor of Wichampton j the manors of Hindeford, c. Somerfet,
and Woodchefter, c. Gloucefter; and lands in Chelrey, c Berks: John his fpn and heir, a;t. 30 [t ] . . By inquifition, ... E. I. J.
Mautraver*, eviftos of the king’s forefts on this fide Trent, claimed to have of every forefter in the foreft of Savernake and elfewhere, c.
Wilts, at his death, his horfe, faddle and bridle, horn, fword, bow, and barbed arrows [ i],
[C] Not mentioned by Dugdale, whofe account of this family is not drawn up with his ufual exadtnefs ; but he .occurs In Mr. Pitt’i
MSI and the Strangeways pedigree. 9 E. III. John Matravers .held two parts of the manor of Morden ; but neither his death nor heir
is mentioned in the record ; fo that it is uncertain whether this inquifition was taken immediately after his death, or on occafion of ibme
difpute during his life-time, In the Sarum regifters of inftitution, J. Matravers prefented to Melbury-Bubb, 1298 ; and Jphn Matravers
fen. to Melbury-Ofmond, 1337. By the heirefs.ot Sandford he is laid to have had John Matravers, lord of Crowd and Hooke. But this
i’eems to be a miftake; for he appears to have had only two daughters by her, married to Foivile and Bruning, to whom the Sandford
eftate palled, wherein the Matravers of Lichet or Hooke never had any farther concern. That this John and the next were different
perfons, is pretty evident from their different matches, and the great diftance between 24 E. I. 1293, when John Matravers died, and
left John his Ion 30 years old ; who, jf.he was the fame that died 38 E. III. 1369, mull have been above 190 years old. This ipdeed
is not quite impoflible ; but thefe miftakes feem to have arifen from every one of this family, as wdl as, that of Hookej being named
John. 33 E. 1. John Matravers had a charter for free-warren here [2]. 6 E. II. John Matravers held thi manor,' cum membris , of the
earl of Gloucefter, by fix knights fees. 12 E. II. he had a charter of free-warren in Witchampton, Wolcomb, Philiplfon, Lodres, and
Childfrome [3], 5 £. III. he held Deverel, Farnham, Udding, and Sharnton, c. Wilts [ij. Thefe records feem to relate to tins John,
but Dugdale attributes them to the next [4]. ; , , . .
[D] John Maltravers fen. Had livery of his lands, 23 E. I. ; and 34 E. I. wras made knight of the Bath with prince Edward, &c.
1 E. III. 1 327, he was fummoned to parliament by the name of John .Maltravers fen. [ 5] ; and was ore of the principal peribns to whom
the cuftddy of icing Edward II. was loon after committed. All our hiftorians accufe him of having treated that unfortunate prince with
great cruelty and inhumanity. Confcious of his guilt as ap acceflary to his murder, he fled into Germany, and continued there many
years. 4 E. III. he was adjudged to be put to death, for being guilty of the death of Edmund carl of Kent, as was alledged. But 19
E. III. he furrendered himl'elf to the king in Flanders ; and on reprefenting to him, thaf, contrary to law, he was con leinned and
banifhed unheard, the king, in regard of his fervices and fufferings in Flanders, permitted him to return, and abide the judgment of par¬
liament; which he did, and was pardoned [6]. 23 E. III. he was again fummoned to parliament ; 26 E. III. made governor of Jerl'ey,
Guernfey, Sarke, and Aureney; and 33 E. ill. founded an hofpital at Bowes, in the ifle of Guernfey. He was often in the wars of
Scotland and France, died 38 E. III. and was buried at Litchet, being feifed jointly with Agnes his wife yet furviving, of rhe manor of

[t] Efc,
As this place now is, and has been, the principal
refidence of the antient and knightly family of the
Trenchards (at lead fince the Reftoration) I {hall
give an account of that family here.
Whether the derivation of this name from Tren¬
chant, or Trenchard , arofe from the creft, dr the
creft from it, is uncertain : but the h is a modern
infertion ih this name.
Ur. Hickes derives the name of Trencard front
the Dano-Norman, Dreng-hard and Drenc-hard , i. e*
Strenuus Miles, vel Potator u.
The firft of this family was Pagan, or Payne Tren-
card, ftyled of Horahull, collector of the Da'ne-Geld
in the ifle of Wight, mentioned in this very ancient
record :
Infula de Wicht.
Paganus Trencardus debet ini lu de prater it is Dane-
geldis infula 5 annorum de teftipore Hug. Gem. Et

fauro xi l. vlii s. Et in Perdonis , per breve Regis
'Willelmo de Vernun xxxii s. Radulpho de B'elmgeturi
xii d. Et quietus eft x.
Mr. Madox has proved this roll to be as ancient as
the time of Henry I. J
The name- of Paganus does not prove that he was
a Dane, which, in the preceding age, was a fynony-
mous term. The. letters.jy and g were frequently con¬
founded. Ilis right name was Payanus, which in
Engrjilh, .or. Saxon, was Payne. He was witnefs to a
charter of Richard de Redvers,; jun. earl of Devon,
of donations to Chriftchurch priory, 1161 ft. Bald¬
win ’ de R-ipariis, earl of Exeter, by charter,' fans
date, granted Hordhill to Pagan Trencard and his
heirs, to which deed are witnelfes, among others,
Robert, Alexander, Hugh, and Hugh Trencard, ne¬
phews [nepotcs~] of Pagan. William his fon fucceeded,
and occurs in a deed t. H. I. Robert his fon fuc¬
ceeded, and occurs t. H. II. Henry his foil, ftyled of
Hebdhele, fucceeded t. John, and was fucceeded by
his fon Henry, who was a knight. To a deed of his
fans date, is affixed his feal, on which are the pre¬
lent arms of the family. He had two brothers, Bald¬
win and William, and married the heirefs of Vv’aler-
and. John his fon fucceeded, and granted lands in
his lordffiip of HordhuU, by charter fans date. He
bad a brother named Walerand , and both of them
occur t. E. I. John , ftyled of HordhuU, fucceeded.
-He had a brother named Walerand, and both oc¬
cur temp. E. I. and IL Richard his fon and heir
is mentioned in a deed 17 and 21 E. II. 4 E. II.
th,e manor of Schaldfiint was entailed by fine on
Henry Trenchard and Eleanor his wife, and their
heirs. This Henry feems to have been the brother of

See the pedigree annexed.
This family, by their matches with Mohun, Mor¬
gan, and Henning, greatly augmented their paternal
eftate.
The prefent feat of the Trenchards, Mr. Coker
fays, was. built by the earls of Arundel, and was
then grown old. Much of the old building ftill re¬
mains, but it has been greatly repaired and orna¬
mented by the late owners.
In digging turves, 1740, in the old park, was
found, about three feet below the furface, an oak,
perfectly found, of a beautiful black colour, like
whale-bone, efpecially near the root, which lay
deeped in the earth and water. The bark and leaves
were entire. The oflcut was fifty-three feet long,
and four fquare, in all 880 feet, or twenty-two tons
204 feet. About three feet were left in the ground,
and thirty feet more of the top dug up afterwards,
fo that the whole length was eighty-eight feet. It
lay N. by E. and feems to have been blown down by a
S. W. wind, which is the mod violent on this coad.
It lay in a bog, which, even in that extraordinary dry
fuminer, they wrere obliged to drain to come at it.
Several oaks grow about this place, though not
large, and fome have been dug up here before, but
none of fuch a fize. Dr. Stukely fays, in the fens
in Lincolnlhire, fubterraneous trees, firs, and oaks,
hard, heavy, and black, are found three or four
feet deep, which he fuppofes to be antediluvian a.
Duller, Duke, Doulre,
anciently a manor and hamlet, now only a farm,
lying near Litchet-Matravers. We have the follow¬
ing account of its antient lords b.
John Duller was feifed in fee of the manor of
Duller, and married Alice, daughter of Richard
Havering, kt. and had iffue John and Joan. Joan
married James Hujfey , who had iffue Thomas, who
married Joan daughter of John de Bowood ; they
had iffue Thomas. Afterwards Thomas fon of James
Huffey died, and after him John de Duller the fa¬
ther, feifed of this manor, which defcended to John
his fon, who married Mary daughter of John Cor-
mayle, who had iffue Chrijlian and Agnes. Agnes
became a nun in the abbey of Wilton. Afterwards
John Duller and fon died feifed of this manor,
which defcended to Agnes his daughter, who married
Roger Matravers, and had iflue Edward. Roger
dying, Agnes married John Leuilham, by whom fhe
had iffue Alice. Agnes and Edward Matravers died
without iffue, after which the manor defcended to
Thomas Hujfey.
But the Huffey pedigree fays, that John de Duller,
fecond of that name, married Matilda daughter of
John Cormaile, whofe daughter Joan married fir
John Winterborn of W. Thompfon, whofe daughter
Joan married James Hufee, father of Thomas Hufe
of Bowood.
8 Iff. V. John Lewijham held at his death, with
Agnes his wife, the manor of Doulre, by the law
of England, of John Arundel, kt. by knights fer-
vice : the reverfion belonging to Thomas Huffey,
kinfman and heir to Edward Matravers, viz. fon of
Thomas, fon of Thomaiin, filler of John Doulre,
father of Agfies, mother of Edward Matravers. John
Lewiiharh died 5 H. V.. Agnes Chriftchurch his k inf-
woman and next heir, viz. daughter of Alice, daughter
of the faid John Lewi fir am c. 8 E. IV. John Huffey ■,
dnd 1 R. III. Jbbn Huffey, died felled of this manor.
1 Mary, Hubert Huffey, at his death, held this ma¬
nor of Henry earl of ’Arundel, a:s of his manor of
Lichct-Matravers, by iervice unknown, value 3 1.
6 s. 8 d. c It now belongs to Mr. Fitch of Hi<ffi-
Hall.
The Church of I,ichet-MatraverS
is a fmall but ancient fabric, confiding of a chancel
and body, tiled, and a north ifle, covered with lead,
equal with the body, which is parted from the ifle'
by four arches. It is dedicated to' St. Mary.
At the fouth end of the Chancel is a brafs plate
fixed into a rude ftone in the- wall, on which is a por¬
traiture ol a perfon in a fiiroud, with his hands
joined in a praying poodure ; under it this inferip-
tion :

On a flat ftone before the rails of the altar :

Mr. Rowe was ejefted for non-conformity 1662. In
1666 he became diffenting teacher at Canford, and,
1672, at Winborne, where he died.
Parallel with the former is a grave ffone, qn which
is emboffed a blank elcotcheon. In' the eaft win¬
dow 1 and 4 G. a lion rarhpant O. Fitz-Alan. 2 and
3 S. a fret O. Maltravers , encircled with the
garter. On the north and fouth wall are pedeffals,
perhaps for holy water or ftatues.
In the Nave, oppofite the porch, is a brafs-plate,
on a grave ftone, with this infeription :

The endowment of this chantry fixes this mdnutiient
to hr John Matravers, who ill treated E. II.
s . .
A little below is a ftone of the fame kind, on
which is emboffed a black efcotcheon. In the win-'
dows are a fret O. and a cinquefoil O. on fdveral
panes. On the top of one of tile windows, in ftone
Work, is a fret, crofs, and rudder, for the devices of
Maltravers or Fitz-Alan. Towards the weft end, on
the north wall, is ah antient altar-tomb, with a large
qjnbattled canopy over it, tinder which were brafs
plates now gone, but the cavities exhibit the effigies
of two perfons ; one feems kneeling* the other is in
a long robe like a Woman* kneeling, and holding a
book in her hand. Below was another brafs plate
that contained the infcriptidn.
A brafs in the farrle ifie has this infcriptiqn, co¬
vered by a pew :

The eaft: end of this file is a veftry, in the win¬
dow of which is a capital Ci}, the initial of the foun¬
der, or patronefs* and on the pedeftal of a ftatue the
Matravers fret.
In this file were two chantries/ The ordination of
one (which I {hall call Matrdvers’s chantry) for three
chapjains and one clerk, fets forth* that king Ed¬
ward III. for 60 1. paid by Agnes Matravers, granted
■freence to her to give to llobeft de Somborn and
John de Corton, chaplains, the manor of Cheirey,
c. Bucks, and feven acres of land in Lidcomb-Rcgis,
that they might give them to John Sonninghull*
re&or of Litchet, to find three chaplains to celebrate
mafs for her foul, and thofe of John Matravers, and
their predecflbrs and fucceffors d. J1 Sonninghull
dying before the letters patents were iffiued, and
AgnCs being dead, this grant was renewed by licence,
1 R. II, to R. de Somborn and Johii de Corton*
but the endowment was not compleated til? 1381.
In the Sarum fegifters the inftitutions of two per¬
petual 'chaplains of the chantry df St. Mary in this
church occur from 1321—1391! They were pre-
fented by the Maltravers, and other lords of the
inanor. From hence it is evident, that It was founded
earlier than the ordination fets forth, though not
compleatly endowed. The chantfy roll mentions a
chantry in this church glVeti to the parfon to find
three priefts, value 1 8 1. 12 s. 9 d. otit of which

berland, was defeended from Yvo de Velcia, a Nor¬
man, who came in with the Conqueror '. 3 H. III.
on a partition of the lands of William Marjhal, earl
of Pembroke, in Ireland, he had an aflignation of
the purparty of Agnes his wife. He died 37 PI. III.
By her he had John, who died without iflue 17 E. I.
and William, who fuccecded his brother, who died
1297, 25 E. I. John his fon, who 14 E. I. married
dementia, a kinfwoman of Eleanor, queen of king
E. I. was endowed with 200 1. per ann. in lands; but
died in his father’s life-time without iflue, except one
natural fon, William de Vefci, commonly If il ed of
Kildare, who was flain in the battle of Stirling, 8
E. II. without iflue. 18 E. III. the king; certifies to
his efeheator, that it was found by inquifition that
Clcmentia de Vefcy, who died that year, held 4 1.
ios. 4 d. yearly rent here, and the hundred of
Lufeburgh, for term of life, of the gift of William,
father of John de Vefcy, her late hufband ; which
rent and hundred the faid William gave to the faid
John and dementia, and their heirs ; which John,
long before his death, gave them (perhaps only for
life) to Henry earl of Lancajler and Derby, who leafed
them [ dimijit J to Reginald de Mohun : and that the
reverfion of the premiles belongs to John Mohun of
Dunftar, John de Bohun de Midhurft, Hugh de
Mortimer de Chelmarfh, Plenty Fitz-lloger, of full
age, and John Beachamp, of Somerfet, 15 years old,
coulins and heirs of J. Vefcy, who died without iflue :
and that he had received the homage of John Mohun,
&c. 3 Dec. k
N. B. This- purparty, on her death, feems to have
been divided between the other fix coheirefles, or
their feprefentatives.
2. The purparty of Isabel de Mohun.
Gilbert Ballet, of Wycoir.b, c. Bucks; was deV
feended from a younger branch of the Baflets of
Hedington, c. 0±on. He died without iflue, 25
H. HI. and his fon and heir, and only child, loon'
after1 2. After his death, Ifabella married Reginald
de Mohun, the fecond of that name, lord of Dunftar;
c. Somerfet, who died 41 Id. 111. 1256, leaving by
her William, to whom his father gave the manor cf
Ottcry, &c. c. Devon ; who by Beatrix, daughter
of Reginald Firzpiers, had Regina'd (who feems to
have died young) Eleanor, wife to John Carru, and
Alary, wife to John Meriet, between whom his lands
were afterwards fhared jo E. 1. William de Mo¬
hun, at his death, held the feventh part of this vill
of the king in chief, by lervicc of the feventh part of
h knight’s fee ; alio the manor of Crediton, &c. Re¬
ginald his fon and next heir, a-t. 7 n. Beatrix fur-
viving him, had, 1 1 E. I. the manor of Sturminfter-
Marfhal afligned her inter alia for her doiver. Elea¬
nor Carru feems to have died without ifl'ue, for, 1
E. III. John de Meriet and Mary his wife held this
manor.
3* Hie Purparty of Maud de Ivy me, or de Vivonia.
Mr. Coker h fays, that Sibyll, fourth daughter
of William Ferrers, earl of Derby, wife to F. Bohun,
after his death married William de Fortibus, a great
baron, and left four daughters and heirs. But this
is an evident miftake for Maud the third daughter, who
married William de Vivonia, alfo ftyled de Fortibus, by
whom the had four daughters, three of whom appear
to have inherited their mother’s fhare in this manor.
And it is obfervable, that Air. Coker afligns this W.
de Fortibus the arms of Vivonia; and fir William
Dugdale’s filence about this re-marriage confirms it.

Turbervile fhe had a daughter named Juliana. Nei¬
ther do we find how her purparty here and elfewhere

dying 20 H. VII. without iffue-male, left five daugh¬

dated 25 H. VIII. See . an account and pedigree of
this family in Dugd. Hiflory of Warwickflnre u.
Matilda dd Kyme, or de Vivonia, parted with
fome of Her fhare; for, 28 E. I. Thomas de Clare , at

of Cunkefdicke, both of the gift of Matilda de Kime;
and of the inheritance of her and her heirs, to be

Hence it Came to the Cliffords. 1 8 E. III. Robert
Clifford and Ifabel his wife held at their death two
virgates of land in this vill, and a moiety of the hun¬
dred of Coukefditche t. Afterwards it feems to have
paffed to the lords Stourton, with other lands belong¬
ing to the Baddlefmeres, but whether by pur chafe,
See. is uncertain. 16, 27 H. VIII. the lords Stour¬
ton held a manor here, and the hundred of Koukef-
dike, of the king and queen, as of their manor of
Cranbourn, by the fourth of a knight’s fee, cleai

iCanardi, third daughter of Matilda de Kyme or de
Vivonia, or her fhare in this vill ; fo that probably
fhe died without blue, or parted with her fhare to
fome other of the coheirs.

Matilda de.Kyme, or Vivonia, 31 E. I. Fulco de
Archiaco died feifed of the manor of Woodmerefhorn,

bel his mother held lands irt Berks, Surry, and

4. The Purparty of SyXtlt. de Bohun, fourth
daughter of Earl Ferrers.
The Bohuns of Midhurft in SuffeX were defeended
from SaVaric de Bohun, who flourilhed in thefe
parts in the time of H. I. Franco , who married Sybil
Ferrers, was his fon, and occurs 31 IT. 111. b John,
his great-grand fon, had livery of his lands, 16 E. II.
and died 41 E. III. having been fummoned to par¬
liament 37, 38, 39 E. III. John, his great-gran dfon,
dying without blue-male, 15 H. VII. left two daugh¬
ters ; Mary, married to fir David Owen, knt. and .7. .
to .... Southwell. John , who died 41 E. III.
alienated it long before his death ;- for, 5 E. III. it
was found not to the king’s lofs, to grant licence to
John de Bohun de Midhurfi, to give one meffuage,
50 acres of land in this vill, and 20 s. rent in Shod-
deflane, parcel of this manor, and a fourth of the
hundred of Lofeburgh, to the priorefs and convent
of Esburn c [Eafiborn] c. Suffex, and their fuc-
celfors. The faid meffuage was held of the king in
chief, in free focage, per fervicium in-veniendi unum

28 IT. VIII. all manors, lands, &c. in this vill and
Broadwater, belonging to the priory of Eaflborne,
c. Suffex (or as others to the abbey of Waverly, c.
Surry d), were granted to William Fiizwilliams, " knt.
treafurer of the houfhold, and his heirs, to be held
of the king by knight’s fervice. We are not in¬
formed how it paffed afterwards, nor who poffeffes it
at prefeflt.
5. The Purparty of John Mohun of Dunftar.
The family of Aquillon were lords of Addington in
Surry. 1 8 H. III. William, fon of William Aquillon,
lharried Joan Ferrers before 48 H. III. ; and 53
H. III. Margaret de Ripariis, countefs of Devon, by
whom he had Ifabel, who married Hugh Bardolf e ;
fo that Joan feems to have been divorced, and had
no iffue by him. W. de Aquillon died 74 E. I.
She married, fecondly, John Mohun , defeended from
the ancient and noble family of the Mohuns of Dun-
fiar-Cafile, barons of this realm f. William de Moj
hun, or Moion, came over with the Conqueror, who
rewarded his fervices with the manors of Todeberie,
Spehtesberie, Wintreburne, Poleham, Hame, Frome,
Frome-Celherge, Werne, Windrefore, Malperetone,
in this county ; the caftle of Dunftar, five manors in
Somerfet, and two in Devon. He was ftiled Earl of
Somerfet. But this family feem to have in a manner
alienated moft of their lands in this county, only re¬
taining the right of lord-paramount.
7 and 14 E. I; John de Mohun, at his death, held
thefe knights fees in Dorfet; R.obert bifhop of Bath
held of him half a fee in Stupleton, fine medio ; John

47 E. III. leaving three daughters ;, Philippa, wife of
Edward duke of York, ret. 26; Elizabeth countels
of Sarum, ret. 3,0 ; and Matilda, wife of John le
Strange, chev. Other inquifitions lay, Hugh Lut-
terel, knt, was his heir. He held at his death the
caftle of Dunftar, and 53 manors, c. Somerfet;, the
manor of Stunninfter-Marlhal, and a third of the
hundred of Lufebergh. The family of the Eutterels,
who fucceeded hint, became extinct fametime in this
prefent century.
John de Mohun, fon of Reginald, the fecond of
that name, and fifth in defeent from William de Mo¬
hun, anceftor of this family, married Joan Ferrers,
according to Dugdale and Coker. But the former,
in his account of the family of Mohun of Dunftar,
makes him to have married Joan, daughter of Regi¬
nald Fitz-Piers •, and mentions another wife, Alianor,
who furvived him, and had for her dower 27 knights
fees and one-ninth in Dorfet, Somerfet, and Devon ;
but does not fay whofe daughter fhe was, nor does he
diftinguilh by which of thole wives he had John, the
fecond of that name, his fon and heir. There is un¬
doubtedly fome miftake or omilfion in this account.
Joan Ferrers was certainly one of his wives, and per¬
haps the firft; and by her probably he had John, the
aforefaid heir. It is certain thefe lands in Sturminfter-
Marlhal, which came by her, remained to her fuc-
ceffors till the family was extiivft, and defeended by
one of the heireffes to lord Strange, of Knocking.
John Mohun, who married Joan Ferrers, died 7
E. I. It was found, 6 II. IV. that Joan, who was
wife of John de Mohun of Dunftar, chev. died feifed
of the manor of Sturminfter-Marlhal, and one-third
of the hundred of Luleburgh. But this inquifition
appears to have been taken on occafion of fome dis¬
pute long after herdeceafe.
The Stranges of Knocking, c. Salop, were de¬
feended from the ancient dukes of Bretaign, fettled
in Shropfhire t. Id. II. h From this principal branch
came the lords Strange of Blackraore, who were ex-
tinfl 49 E. III. Eubulo le Strange,, and the Stranges
of Hunftanton, c. Norfolk. Richard, fon of John
lord Strange of Knocking, and Maud Mohun, filled
Lord Mohun of Knocking, had livery of his lands
5 H. IV. and held at his death, 27 Id. VI. the ma¬
nor of Stur.ninfter-Marfltal, of the king, as of his
dutchy of Lancafter : John his fon and heir, tet. 5,
who died 17 E. IV. leaving an only daughter, Joan,
who married George, eldeft fon of Thomas Stanley,
earl of Derby. 20 E. IV. John Wykc and Elizabeth
his wife had a pardon for acquiring to them and their
heirs, of John lord Strange, a manor called Stur-

Hugh Mortimer, of Chelmarfh, c. Salop, was youngeft:
fon ol Ralph lord Mortimer, of Wi'gmore h Eudo.
de la Zouch palled over to him the benefit of Agatha
Ferrers’s marriage, which the king had granted tor
him, and married her to his fon Hugh ; of whom we
find no farther mention afterwards. 34 E. I. Agatha
de Mortimer held at her death a feventh part of this
manor of the king in chief, by free focage; arid the
fourth ol a feventh part of Sturminfter •, viz. a fourth
part of a certain affart in Weftley juxta Newton- Pe-
verel, and i fourth part of the hundred of Louf-
borough : Henry de Mortimer her fon and heir, cet.

a fourth of this manor and hundred of Lofeburg, by
fervice of finding a tything-man for Sturminfter-Mar-

This place was the ancient feat of Hubert de la
Vielle, who, at his death, 3 1 E. I. held a tenement,
or manor, in Corf-Molin, of the king in chief, as
of the honour of Camel, then in the king’s hands,
viz. a capital mefiuage, twenty-feven acres of mea-
dow, pafture common, and heath, five free tenants
and three bond-men. Peter, fon of John de la

23 a. 1 E. 111. John, fon and heir of .... da la
Veylle, granted lands here. 20 E. III. Giles de
Hardynglon and John de la Veielle held here, in
‘Corf-Molin, one fourth of a knight’s fee,^ which
Henry de Hardyngton formerly held ; and John de

de la Veil le formerly held. 8 H. VI. Joan , daughter
of John Coldham, fen. otherwife called Johnde Vielle,
formerly of Coldhames in Clavering, c. Eftex, quits
claim to William Findern , &c. and heirs of the manor
of Corf-Hubard, which was the faid Johns, in the

50 s. yearly rent in Corf-Molin and Corf-1 lubert,
which he had by grant of William Findern, efq. and
ernes his wife, 011 a fine levied. ^
Imom thefe records, and thole that follow, it is
plain here were two diftina principal manors. Corf-
Molyn, belonging to Erdington, and Corf-Hubert to
de la Veille. Mr. Coker confounds them, and fays,
the pofterity cf de la Veille brought it to Giles Er-
dinaton, but the pedigree of Erdington mentions no
match with that family. They continued long fepa-
rate in thefe families, but feem to have been united in
the Harcourts. The ftile of the manor, late Phelips’s,
is the manor of Corf— IVIullen and Corf-Hubert.
The Er ding tons, of Erdington, c. Warwick, had
a concern here. 1 1 E. I. Henry de Erdington held
Corf-Mullen \ 49 E. III. Elizabeth , who was wife
of Giles de Erdington, held, at her death, the manor

in dower by the fame tenure*. 12 H. VI. Thomas
de Erdington, knt. held it in like manner ; Thomas
his fon and heir, aet. 10 a. 13 H. VI. Sibyll his wife
died feifed of one third of it as before-, Thomas her
fon and heir*. As Dugdale gives no account of the
iffue of the laft of this family, he probably died
without any, and as his father, who died 12 H. VI,
married Anne, daughter of Thomas Hare court, 18
R. I[, for his fir il wife, the eftate might pafs into
that family. A further account of this family of the
Erdingtons, and their pedigree, may be ieen in Dug-

alfo Mr. Thomas Arundel's eftate here, value, 1641,
80I. per ann. In 1641, lady Banks's old rents of a
manor here, 34 1. per ann. were fequeftered. But
this laft feems to relate to
Corf St. Nicholas,
a manor and farm lying near the former, which an¬
ciently belonged to St. Nicholas's hofpital, near Sa-
1 he return to the commiflion, 1650, was, the tithes
were, 80 1, per annum : George Watfon -and John
Mackerel held them to the ufe of Wiiliam Hardy,
vicar of Sturminfter. This chapel, and that of Lichet-
Minfter, is ferved three Sundays fucceffiyely by a
curate paid out of fome contributions or donations'
for that purpoie. The vicar of Stunninfter-Marfhai
officiates in them once a month.
I
Thomas Phelips, of Corf-Mullen, efq. demifed
500!. in* trull, to pay yearly 1 o 1. for the ufe of the.
curate of Corf-Mullen for ever; and the refidue of
the intereft to the maintenance of ten poor children
yearly. 'In the year 1706', Richard Lockyer, of
Corf- Mullen, built an houfe on the wade, and founded
a fmall charity-fchool for the inftrudion of 30 poor
children of the pariffi in reading and work ; and be¬
queathed feveral lands to 1 up port the fame, and to
pay 10 1. to the woman who looks after the fcirool.
He likewife left fome little eftates in Lichet-Minfter,
towards binding out a poor child every, year to feme
trade.
The Chapelry of Ham, Uamworthy , Upper or
South- Ham,
a fmall hamlet, tything, and manor in Cogdean hun¬
dred, fnuated near Poole, and divided into two
parts, Higher and Lower. By- the inquifitions of the
Turberuiles of Bere Regis, we find this manor, 36
H. III. and 5 H. VI, pofieffed by that family. 8
H. IV. John Plccy held one carucate of land in S.
Ham juxta Poole, of the inheritance of the earl of
Sarum, a minor; a third of a melfuage in Sturmin-
fter-Marihal, of the inheritance of Thomas' Gorges,
a minor ; and fix acres and a half of land of William
Stourton, as of his riianor of Tarent- Viters.

i 4 1. per ann. and his fartrt were fequeftered. Here
remains at Higher-Ham a large ancient houfe, the
feat of this family, now turned into a farm -houfe.
Higher-Ham confifts now only of a few tenements,
and the ruins of the church. Lower-Ham adjoins
to the harbour of Poole, which enables them to
carry on fome trade ; and of late years a ftreet of
good houfes has been built. This feems to have
been anciently a final! manor ; for, 7 Eliz. Thomas,
fon of John Worfley, held the manor of S. Ham, or
Hamworthy-, 20 meffuages, 10 tofts, and 410 acres
of land, of the manor of Canford, by fuit of court
at the hundred of Cockdene, and 43 s. rent; and
left Frances, his daughter and heir, married to Lionel
Ticchborn, set. 30 d. 14 Car. I. two parts of this
manor were granted inter alia to Bryan Williams and
Richard Bingham for 21 years, by reafon of the re-
cufancy of » . , . Carew, if it remained fo long in
the king’s hands. Both thefe manors feem after¬
wards to have come to the Carews, who conveyed
them in the beginning of this century to the Webbs
of Canford,
The C i4 A p e l
ftands at the E* end of Higher-Ham, near the man-
fion-houfe ; and appears to have been a fmall ancient
fabric, confifting of a chancel, body, and a fmall
turret at the W. end. It is 84 feet long by 17, and
was ruined in the Civil Wars, and only the walls re¬
main. The inhabitants bury in the chapel and cha¬
pel-yard*
The return to the commifiion, 1650, was, that
the church was pulled down in the late wars, for the
prefervation of Pool garrifon. It is five miles diftant
from Sturmintter, to which it belonged. The value
of the parfonage 13 1. 6 s. 8 d. ; which, fince the
chapel was pulled down, is for the moft part received
by Mr. Hardy, of Sturminfter, and the reft difpofed
of for minifters who come fometimes from Lichet
and Pooh The parifh is near to Pool, and two
miles diftant from any other church or chapel, and
fit to be united to Pool. Four or five years after
the chapel was pulled down, the profits of the parifh
were applied to the ufe of the garrifon of Pool, and
afterwards one year’s tithe was paid to Mr. Owfield,
then minifter of Pool.
Lichet-Minster, Lower , Nether , or South-
Lichet,
a manor, tything, and large hamlet in Cogdean hun¬
dred, fituated in a flat low country, on a part of
Pool-Bay, to which it gives name, about two miles
and a half E. from Lichet Matravers, and feems to
be diftinguifhed by the name of Lichet-Minfter from
its chapel South-Lichet, from its fouthward direc¬
tion from Lichet- Matravers *, and Nether or Lower-
Lichet, from its fituation in regard of it. “ Lichet
“ village, and [f. on] an arme out of Pole water,
“ beting with a little trelch. Lichet is two miles by
“ the fery way from Pole, elfe three miles6.” 4 E. II.

The return to the commifiion, 1650, was, the
parfonage was worth 40]. per ann. William Hardy,
clerk, incumbent, receives the profits, paying the
fifths to the wife of Edmund Dickenfon, clerk. Hugh
Eaftgate, clerk, fupplies the cure for 1 8 1, per ann.
and 40 s. in houfes, ground, and orchards ; all which,
with the reft of the profits, and Ham worthy, they
defire might be adjoined to their chapel, with an
augmentation of 20 1. or 30 1. per ann. for an abler
minifter.
The Church of Sturminfter-Marffial
ftands in the E. part of the parilh, near the river
Stour. Icis a pretty large ftrudture, confifting of a
large chancel (more than a third -part of the whole
church), a body, a N. file (which extends to part of
the chancel), and an embattled tower of a moderate
height, in which are four bells and a clock. The
body is covered with lead, but the reft tiled. There
was formerly a fmall S. ifle to the chancel, belonging
to the AnketiJs of E. Aimer, long fince pulled
down. There is no painted glafs, nor any re¬
mains of great antiquity. It is a peculiar jurif-
diftion, granted to the hofpital of Pont-Adomar, no
doubt, by one of the popes; and by king H. VI. to
Eton-college , who conftitute the vicar their official.

The Rectory
was very anciently given to the hofpital of St. Giles,
at Pont-Adomar, in the bifhopriek of Lifieux, near
the mouth of the Seine, iri Normandy, probably by
Roger de Belmont , or one of his fucceflbrs ; which fa¬
mily had a caftle at Pont-Adomar, and feem to have
been lords of that place; and founders of the hofpital.
The profits were often feized into the king’s hands
during the wars with France; and finally, 2 H. V.
with the lands of alien monafteries, given to the
crown. 13 E. III. 1339, Guido de Briweres, a bro¬
ther of the hotife of Lepers, of Giles de Pont-Adomar,

19 II. VI. 1441, the king by charter, granted inter
alia to Eton College the farm and rent of 31 1. 6 s. 8d.
which Robert Chauncery, parfon of Eongbridy, was
obliged to pay the- king yearly, for the cuftody of the
proftta of the church of S turmi after- Marlhal, and lands
there, which belonged to the faid • hofpital, to hint
committed, to have this cuftody from Eafter, a. r. 18,
to' the end of level! years enfuing, with the reverfion
when it happened -. In 1498, the bifhop of Sarum
returns to the king’s writ of certiorari , that the pro-
voft, &c. of Eton had this reftory to .their proper
ufe from the year 1457 k. In 1415, on a diipute
between the farmers of the rectory and the vicar, a
commiflion was ifiued by the bifhop, to enquire con¬
cerning the defefts of the chancel, and to whom it be*
longed to repair it. .By an inquifttion made by the
inhabitants and neighbours it was found, that the
chancel was ruinous, and that it belonged to the reftor
to repair it ab antiquo h Mr. Fitch is how iffifropria-

The Vicarage.
It does not appear when the original endowment
was made; but it wTaS certainly before 1291, when it
is mentioned in the old valor to be a vicarage, with a
chapel annexed™. In 1498, the bifhop of Sarum re¬
turns to the king’s writ of certiorari, that the vicarage
was founded and endowed 1457, and was taxed at
col. and the tenths were 40s. This muft have been
fome re-endowment, when the priory tvas given to
Eton college. The glebe of the vicarage is now 140
acres ; and to it belong the great tithes of Ham, Corf-
Mullen, and Lichet-Minfter. The ancient patrons
■were the priors of Pont-Adomar, when the reftory was
not in the king’s hands ; though the Gorges’ claimed
a right, and prefented twice. Since 1437, the pa¬
tronage has been in the provoft and fellows of Eton.
The vicarage houfe is called Baily-Houfe,. and is fituated
on the S. fide of the parifh, a mile S. W. from Stur-
minfter, in the midft of the glebe. It is now one of
the beft livings in the county, worth near 300 1. per
ann. and a royal peculiar in Whitchurch deanry.

* Thomas Merks, alias Newmarket, alias Somaflre;

He was born at Newmarket, had been a monk at
Wedminder, and was made bifliop of Carlifle, at the
reqded of king Richard II. (whofe intimate companion
he was) by the pope, 1397, againd the confent of the
chapter. But he was deprived foon after, on the accedion
of king H. IV, for his fpirited defence of his late fove-
reign, and proted againd Henry’s ufurpation. He
was fird committed to the cudody of the abbot of St.
Alban’s. Jan. 4, 1400, there was an order to keep
the bifliop of Carlille clofe prifoner in the Tower.
Jan. 23, he was removed thence to the cudody of
the abbot of Wedminder for life y, ( ibide?n mori-
turns'1). Engaging afterwards in a confpiracy againd
H.IV. with the Hollands, lie alone efcaped with his life.
Jan. 2 8, an order was idued to proceed to the trial of the
bidrops impeached of high-treafon, notwithdandin'g a

for the bilhop of Carlide a. He was deprived of his
bidropric, or rather, at Henry’s requed, he was tranf-
lated by the pope from Carlifle to the titular biihopric
of Samos b. Bifliop Godwin fays he died foon after ;

1403. He was alfo reftor of Todenham, c. Glou-

THIS hundred always belonged to the lords of
the manor ; and when it became in polfelfion of
the crown, was frequently, and at laft finally granted
with it. 14 H. II, the Iheriff accounted for twenty
marks of Cranebern hundred for one murder a. An¬
ciently, when the feveral diftrifls or divifions of the
kingdom were dealt with as communities, each hun¬
dred is charged in the great roll with its amercia¬
ments, and the fherifF of the county levied them for
the king. A coroner belongs to this hundred : alfo

This little vill is fituated on the borders of Wilt,
{hire, and two miles S. E. from Melbury-Abbas, in
champaigne country, and a pretty high fituation.
In Domefday Book b Aifemare was held by the
king. It had before belonged to queen Matilda. It
confided of feven carucates, worth 15 1. Brittric
held it t. R. E. From the crown it feerns to have
been granted to Robert Fitz-Hamon , conful or earl of
Gloucejler. Thence it came to the Clares , earls of
Gloucejler and Hertford , and the Mortimers , earls of
March , who, 22 R. II, and 3 H. VI, held one fee
in Effemere. They feem to have been only lords
paramount. 20 E. Ill, William de Beauchamp held
here half a knight’s fee, which Onnora de Valoygne
formerly held. 7 R. II, John de Bello Campo, chfva-
ler, held this manor and lands here, and c. Kent, Wor-
cefter, and Glouceder. 8 FI. V, John fon and heir
ot John Beauchamp, chivaler, held this manor of the
earl of March, as of his manor of Cranborn. It
was then in the hands of Edith , late wife of John
Beauchamp, chivaler, and now of Robert Shottesbrook ,

manor and lands here were held by John St. John, of
the queen in chief as of the honour of Gloucefter, value

lord St. John of Bletfho, who the lame year had li¬

The charter of Roger bilhop of Sarum confirming
to the church of Teukefburie the donations of R.
Fitz-Hamon and his knts. A. D. 1109, mentions
the church of Elfemere, as does another of king H. I,
1106. It is probable that Fitz-Hamon gave the ad-
vowfon to that church. There was a penfion of
3 s. 4d. paid out of it to the monks there. The
advowfon generally belonged to that abbey, though
it was fometimes cohtefted by the lords of the ma¬
nor, who, fince the Pveformation, have been always
patrons. It is in Pimpern deanry.

able fortune. In 1645 he was fequeftered, his living
being then valued at 100 1. per ann. He fled to lord
Hopton’s army, for which he was plundered of all he
had, and his family ufed with monftrous barbarities,
as related by his fon Richard, late reftor of Penzle-

and 100 1. fet on his head; but he got fafe into

they were maintained by the charity of an aunt of

Herbert de St. Quintin held here one fourth part of
a knight’s fee, which Anaftachia de St. Quintin for¬
merly held. 21 E. Ill, he held at his death jointly
with Margaret his wife-, the manor and advowfon of
Belle, and feveral manors c. Gloucefter, Berks* and
York ; Elizabeth and Lora his daughters and heirs u.
35 E. Ill, Margery , wife of Roger Hufee, and be¬
fore of Herbert de St. Quintino, held this manof
of Belle. Hence it defeended to the Marmions
and Fitz Hughs , who married the heirefs of St.
Quintin. 10 R. II, John Marmion, chivaler, and
Elizabeth his wife, held it. 31 H. VI, William Fitz-
hugh held it. How long it continued in thefe fa¬
milies is uncertain ; but they, or their defeendants,
feem to have forfeited it ; lor, 23 Eliz. the manor
of Bell and Chal'wel was demifed to Winifred , mar-
chionefs of Winchejter. After this it feems to have
come to the Frekes of Shroton, and from them to
the honourable George Pitt, the prefent polfelTor.
4 E. I, Bartholomew Turbervile gave by charter to
William St. Quintin, in free marriage with Matilda
his daughter, a virgate of land, called la Breche in
Belle , in the parilh of Ockford-Fitzpaine, to be held
by fuit at two courts leet at Ocford. 2 H. VIII,
Stephen Payne, at. his death, held forty acres of paf-
ture at Bell, of the earl of Northumberland, by the
lame fuit of court, at the faid manor of Ocford.
35 FI. VIII, lands here were held by John Leigh, of
the king in chief, by ferviceof one tenth of a knight’s

This place, anciently a manor, now a farm, lies in
this parilh, a little to the ealtward of it. 20 E. Ill,
Galfrid de Bares held in Fifehide in Cranborn-hun-
dred one fourth of a knight’s fee, which Simon de
St. Quintin formerly held. 1 1 E. IV, the king re-
leafes his right in the manor of Fifehide St. Quintin
to John More [ Mone , or Mohun] x. 19 E. IV, John
Mone, or Mohun, died feifed of it u. 1 R. HI, this
manor was granted to Morgan Kidwelly, and his
heirs male. 2 R. Ill, it came into the king’s hands
by the attainder of John Trenchard, value 141.".
9 H. VII, John Trenchard, at his death, held
it of the abbot of Glafton by fervice unknown,
clear yearly value 12 1. 16 Jac. I. free warren in
this manor was granted to George Trenchard, knt.
It feems to have pall from the St. Quintin’s and de
Bares to the Mohuns and Trenchards , from which laft
family it was conveyed to Peter Hofins, efq. at leaft
the royalty, in whofe heir it remains.
The Church is an ancient building, and contains
nothing remarkable.
The Rectory is omitted in the Bodleian copy of
the valor, and entered with a non excedit in the
Tower copy. The patrons were always the lords of
the manor. It is a difeharged living in Shafton

C R A N
a little market- town, feated in a fine champain conn-
try, on the N. E. confines of the county, near the
head of the river Allen, bordering on Wiltfhire and
Hamplhire, two miles N. W. from Winbourn St.
Giles. It is the capital of a hundred, to which it
gives name, and is a place of high antiquity, fa¬
mous in the Saxon and Norman times for its mo-
naftery, chafe, and lords. It is fituated in 1 d. 54 m.
weft longitude, and 50 d. 59 m. latitude, feventy-fix
computed and ninety-five meafured miles and five
«
1
o /
furlongs from London. Dr. Skinner calls it Fons,
or Amnis Gruum , and derives its name from the
AngJo-Saxon Cpen, or Fijian, a crane, and Bujm, a
river, or torrent, the windings of it refembjing the
neck of that bird : or the refort of rhefe birds might
give occafion to the name. Mr. Blomfield derives
Cranewich in Norfolk from Eapn'e, angulus, a nook or
corner, which, if there were fuch a Saxon word, would
agree with this place, as being fituated in a c irner of
the county.
It is the largeft parifh in the county, its circumfe¬
rence being efteemed about forty miles, its longed:
diameter twelve. The foil is various, chiefly gravel,
fand, and chalk, and confifts moftly of arable, and
fome pafture. Formerly weaving of ribband was
carried on here, but now there is no particular
branch of trade. The market is on Thurfdays, but
is inconfiderable. The fairs are held on St. Bartho¬
lomew’s and St. Nicholas’s days. Here is a market
for cattle in the fpring.
Lelancl gives this account of this place, and the
adjacent country : “ From Horton to Cranbourn, a
u 3 miles, al by champain ground, having nother
“ clofure nor wood. Cranbourn is a praty thorough
“ fair, and for one ftreat meatly welle buildid.
“ There rennith a fleting bek thorough it, and paffid
“ doun thorough the ftreat felf, on the right hond.
“ I geflid it to reforte to Horton, but I am nor hire
“ of that. Here was fumtyme an hedd abbay, after
“ made a celle to Tewkefbyri, by an erle of Gio-
u cefter. From Craneburn I paftid about a 2 miles, or
“ more, al by playne champaine ground, leving Blak-
“ den, the kinges great park, hard on the lift hond b”
Here is a local proverb, that “ when Cranhorn is
“ wborelefs , Winborn poorlefs, and Flarley-Vv7 ood bare-
i( lefs, the world will be at an end”
Oct. 14, 1748, an accidental fire confumed thir¬
teen dwelling houfes, feveral barns, a malt-houle,
&c. here, to the value of 2607 1. 10 s. 2 d.
About half a mile S. from Cranhorn, was a fmall
but elegant feat, to which an eftate of about 100 1.
per annum belonged, and was formerly the property
of the Stilling fleets of this place, now of Thomas
Erie Drax, efq. who has much improved and en¬
larged it.
This place gave birth to Edward Stillingfleet, bi¬

Swanton, c. Norfolk, and died 1708, leaving one fon,
Benjamin, author of feveral excellent pieces in Na¬
tural Hiflory and Agriculture, who died 1771, aged
7°. The bifhop, by his fecond lady, daughter of lir
Nicholas Pedley, had James Stillingfeer, afterwards
canon of Worcelter,' who died 1746, and a daughter
Anne. He was a prelate of univerfal learning, a
great divine, and a celebrated preacher. His many
and excellent writings on the fubje&s of Eccleiiaftical
Hiftory, Antiquities, and Controverfy, will ever re¬
main perpetual monuments of his merit and abilities,
and (hew him to have been one of the chief orna¬
ments of the epifcopal bench. His noble library was
purchafed by Dr. Marfh, archbifhop of Armagh, for
a public library at Dublin ; and his collc&ion of
MSS. relative to our own nation and conftitution by
the late earl of Oxford, and are now in the Britifh
Mufeumm.
John Stillingfleet, D. D. elder brother to the bi¬
fhop, was fellow of St. John’s, and recftor of Beck-
ington, c. Lincoln, and, with his brother Edward,
incorporated M. A. at Oxford, 1657 n. Their mother,
Sufanna, died 1647, and was buried in Cranborn
church with other of the family, of whom fee among
the epitaphs.
Cranborn gives the title of vifcount to the earls of
Salisbury.
The Manor, or Borough.
In the Saxon age, this place was famous for its
lord Allward , or Hay hoard de Meau, fo called from
his fair, or pale complexion \ab albedinej °. He
was a noble foldier, defcended from the race of king
Edward the elder, and flourifhed between 930 and
980. He died 17 cal. Jan. anno incerto. By his
wife Algiva, or Aftrevilla, he had Algar, who fuc-
ceeded him jure hereditario. Bridricus , fon of Al-
garus, lord of the honour of Gloucefter, was fent
ambaffador into Normandy, where refufing to marry
Matilda, afterwards queen to William the Conqueror,
fhc was fo provoked at this affront, that when her
hufband came to the crown of England (lie procured
an order to feize him at his manor, or caftle, at
Hanley in Worceflerfliire. Coker adds, fhe took
him out of his chapel at Hanley the day it was con-
lecrated by St. Wulftan, bifhop of Worcefler. Hence
he was carried to Winchefter, and there died with¬
out iffue, and was buried. Leland fays he was con¬
fined in the caftle of Hanley, befides Salisbury,
where he died. But it is much to be doubted whe¬
ther he had any concern there ; for that place foon
after appears by Damefday Book to belong then
to the abbey of Shafton, and perhaps long before.
Leland ftiles all this family earls of Glouceiler, lords
of Briftol and the caftle, though Dugdale is filent
as to that. They were founders and benefaftors to
the abbey of Cranborn.
In Domefday Book p, Craneburne had belonged to
queen A laud, but then to the king. It had been
worth 24 1. then 30 1. and confifted of ten caru-
cates.

Queen Maud, wife to the Conqueror, had the ho¬
nour and this manor given her, and kept them till
her death L From her they paffed to king William,
and remained in the crown till William Rufus gave
them to Robert Fitz-Hamon, lord of Aftremavilla, or
Corboil in Normandy. Lie was nephew to Wil¬
liam the Conqueror, and came over with him, and
conquered Glamorganfliire ; and having divided great
part of his conquefts among his twelve knights,
feated himfelf at Cardiff. He founded the monailery
of Tewkelbury, and being killed at the battle of
Falaife in Normandy, t. H. I, 1107, was buried in
that abbey. He married Sibyl, one of the daugh¬
ters of Roger Montgomery, earl of Sftrewfbury, by
whom he had four daughters, his heireffes. His
arms were, Az. a lion rampant O.
King Henry, unwilling fo great an honour fhould
be fhared amongft women, made his daughters Cae-
cilia abbefs of Shafton, and liawifia abbefs of Wil¬
ton ; and married Amicia, the third, to, the earl of
Britanny, referving Mabillia, his eldeft,- for his own
illegitimate fon, Robert , whom he created firft earl
of Gloucejler after the conqueft, and gave him that
whole honour, before a. r. 20 r. He is by fome
of our hiftorians ftiled conful of Gloucefter. He
had alfo, in right of his lady, a great inheritance
in Normandy. He adhered to the emprefs Maud,
and brought her over to England 1138, and con¬
duced over Prince Henry with a body of forces, who
landed at Wareham 1142, which being then in the
king’s polTeflion, he befieged and took the caftle
after three months fiege, and fignalized himfelf in
thefe wars. He built the caftle of Briftol with ftone
brought from Caen,- died 1147, and was buried
under a green jafper ftone in the quire of the priory
of St. James at Briftol, which he alfo built. By
his lady he had William , his fuccelfor, Roger, bi-
Ihop of Worcefter, Hamon, and Philip. William
was by his father made governor of Wareham-
caftle ; and, 1 2 H. II, on the aid granted for marry¬
ing the king’s daughter, certified his knights fees
de veteri fcoffamento to be 260 and a half, and thofe
de novo 13 and a half. He married Hawyfe, daugh¬
ter of Robert Bolfu, earl of Leicefter, and by her
had Robert, who died, 1166, in his father’s life
time ; Mabel, married to . earl of Eureaux ;
Amicia, to Richard de Clare, earl of Hertford ; and
Ilabel, afterwards married to king John. But, left
his inheritance Ihould be divided amongft females, he
made John , younger fon of king Henry II, his heir,
and died 1173, 20 Id. II, and was buried with his
fon at Keynfham abbey. . The king kept the honour
of Gloucefter and its members fix years in his own
hands, and in the laft year of his reign married his
fon John to Ifabella, and gave the earldom and ho¬
nour to him, which he held all his brother Ri¬
chard’s reign. For this marriage, in regard they
were of kin, viz. third coufins, which was contrary
to the canon law, Baldwin, archbifhop of Canterbury,
put his lands under an interdift. He appealed to the
pope, on which the legate ratified the appeal, and
releafed the interdiC ; but, having no children by
her, he procured a devorce after he came to the
crown, but kept the honour and its members, and
the caftle, &c. Ifabella, and Almaric, fon to the
earl of Eureaux, dying without iffue, the title de¬
volved to Amicia wife of Richard de Clare s. It
does not appear when king John furrendered thefe
poffeffions ; the honour was in his hands a. r. 8.

The family of the Clares was illufirious for their
large po (Tedious in England, Wales, and Ireland ;
their alliance with the royal family, and the great
figure they made in peace and war. But as they

called the Red, from the colour of his hair, or from
his fanguine complexion, being divorced from his
firft lady, became ambitious of marrying into the
royal line, in order to which he gave up his inheri¬
tance in England and Wales to the king, to dilpofe

poffeffions of the Clares, &c.
The ancient and noble family of the Mortimers,
earls of March, was one of the mod illuftrious and
confiderable in the kingdom, allied to the blood
royal, and made a great figure in hi dory, both in
the cabinet and field. Their own patrimony was
very confiderable in England, Wales, and Ireland,
but much augmented by the acceffion of the edate
which the heirefs of the duke of Clarence brought
into it. I fhall only mention what relates to their
concerns in this county, referring the reader to a
fuller account in the annals of this family and Dug-
dale b. The fird of this family that occurs in this
county was Roger de Mortimer, who, 54 H. Ill, was

daughter of Lionel duke of Clarence. He died 5
11. II. By this match he became poffeffed of the
edate of the Clares. R.oger and Edmund, the two
lad earls of March, his grandchildren, 6 H. IV,
had a grant from the king for their better fupport,
during their minority, of 100 marks per annum out
of the revenues of the manors of Cranborn and
Mardtwood. 22 R. II. and 3 H. VI, they held, at
their death, the hundreds of Cranborn, Pimpern,

Cranborn came to the crown by king E. IV. ; after
which it was frequently granted to many great per-
fons for life, or in jointure to fome of the queens of
England. 1 1 H. VI. the king granted to Richard
duke of Tork livery of all the caffles, manors, &c.
which Anne, late wife of Edmund earl of March,
held in dower, of the inheritance of the faid duke d.
14 H. VI. licence was granted to Richard duke of

29 Eliz. this borough, parcel of queen Catharine’s

9 Jac. I. to George Whitmore. This is the principal
manor or in-hundred ; there is a court-leet or court-
baron held twice a year, for lwearing officers and
granting eftateS. Here is a 'conftable fubjeft' to two'
high -conftables, and two bailiffs, each of whom carry
an ancient nface ; two iurveyors of hearths ; two af-
fizers of bread and falters of ale, with proper weights
and meafures •, and two fearchers, fealers, and re-
gilters of leather. Here is a court kept every three
weeks, for trial of actions in the honor of Gloucefter,
where the debt is under 40 s. In this hundred are
three ty things, Cranborn, Holwel, and Alderholt;
the tything-men of which are defied and fworn at
Michaelmas. The hundred courts, and thofe of the
two manors, arc held in the great hall in the manor-
lioufe. on -
This manor belonged to the honor of Gloucefter,
one of the mod considerable in England ; for Geoffery
de Mandevil gave 20,000 marks to marry Ifabettn,
third daughter of William earl of Gloucefter, 3 H. II.
Cranborn was the chief manor that belonged to it in
this county, and is in tome records ftiled an honour.
An honour was a feodal patrimony or barony of the
higher rank of barons, which bore the name of its
capital feat, or of its baron. As a manor contained
many fees, tenements, cuftoms and fer vices, fo an
honour comprehended many manors, knights fees,
and royalties f.
The ancient manor-houfe Hands a little W. from
the church : fome remains of the ancient building
exift. It has in later times been rebuilt and con¬
tracted, for it feems formerly to have been much
larger than it is at prefent. It always belonged to the
lords of this place. In fome records it is ftiled the
Cajile, perhaps on account of its having been em¬
battled. Here the king refided as often as he came
his weftern progrels to hunt in the chafe and parks s.
Whilft the chafe remained in the lords of the manor,
the chafe courts were held here; and there was a
room in this houfe called the Dungeon , which was a
prifon for offenders againft the chafe laws. Here
was anciently a chapel. 15 E. II. Cranborn-Caftle
and honour were granted to Robert de AJlon , and the
order addreffed to John le Botiler de Lentval. This
was probably on fome forfeiture or a minority of the
Mortimers.
The Manor of Cr anborn-Prior, or Manor of
the Priory.
This manor feems to have confided of fome lands
and tenements in the vill of Cranborn, or adjacent to
it. By inquifition, 2 and 3 Philip and Mary, this

In a MS. of fir William Dugdale’s, in the Afh-
molean Mufeum *, de abbatiis & abbatibus Norman.
cA eorum-fundatorihus , it is faid, that in the ancient
times of the Britons there was a college of fix monks
here, built in memory of the Britons llain here ; but
it is not /aid when or by whom. But it is more cer¬
tain, as biihop Tanner obferves, that Ailjvard de Mean,
or Snew, fo called from his fair complexion, of the fa¬
mily of Edward the Elder, founded here, about A. D.
980, a little monaftery for black monks, or Bene-
diftines, in honour of God, our Bleffed Saviour, his
mother, and St. Bartholomew the Apoftle, for him-
felf and his wife Algiva ; who, with his fon Algar
and grandfon Briftric, were great benefa&ors to it k.
In Domefday Book the church of St. Mary of
Creneburn held the following manors or parcels of
land; viz. Gelingeham [ Gillingham J, Bovenric [Bo¬
veridge, Mr. Hooper’s], Winburn ff. Upwmborn-
Monkton ], Levetesford, Langeford, and Tarente [f. Ta-
rent-Monkton\. About 1102, R.obert Fitzhamon, at
the exhortation of Sibil his wife, and Girald abbot of
Cranburn, rebuilt the church of Tewksbury, and en¬
riched it with many poffeffions ; and after leaving a
prior, and two brethren here, tranflated the reft, 1 104,
with the faid abbot, with their poffeffions, to Tewkf-
bury, which he converted into an abbey. Thus
Cranburn became a priory and a cell to Tewksbury.
In 1293 the lands of the abbot of Tewksbury here
were valued at 102 s. m. At the diffolution it was
fuppreffed with that abbey, but its value is not par¬
ticularly mentioned. Here were then a prior and two
monks. The laft prior was William Didcote, who
had a penfion affigned him of iol. per annum. In
1530, being then prior, he took the degree of LL.
The priory-houfe ftcod near the church, and was an
ancient building. The letters T. P. were in leveral
parts of it, as well as in the church, and Ihew it
was rebuilt by abbot Parker. It was pulled down
1703.

a ty thing and hamlet in Upwinborn hundred, confift-

The caufe between. Alan h abbot of Tewkelbury
and that codvent, and Herebert the chaplain, concern¬
ing the vicarage of Cranebtirii, was decided by a
commiffion from pope Celeltine. to William! bilhop of
Hereford, &c. Herebert claimed the perpetual vi¬
carage in the church of Cranburn, and a chapel hi
the earl’s court, Which he alledged he held of the
earl, and not of the abbot.' He had appealed to the
pope from R. abbot of Cirencelter, &c. before
whom he was trafius in com. ctutoritate arcbiepfcopi .
After two years conteft; Herebert acknowledged he
had no right in the vicarage or chapel,' and afked
pardon ; on which the abbot, at the requeft of his
judges, permitted him to hold the vicarage for life,
dum tamen jidelitatem fervaret , and ferving the
church of Craneburn and its chapels, viz. the cha¬
pel of the cemetery, the chapel, of :the earl’s court*
and the chapel of W-inborn- Abbas, nor prefuming tQ
do any thing in them contrary to the abbot’s will ;
and he was to have his diet [ procuration at the
prior’s table every day, unlefs not,, able to come by ,
ficknefs. On Chriftmas-day, Good-Fridayj and
Eafter-day, he was to have a third; part of the offer-;
ings in the church of Craneburn, and the offerings
of the fecond mafs, pro def unfits puefentibus fecundunt j
divifum , ufque 1 2 d. all above to be equally divided
between the prior and him ; and alfo the fees for
confeffion [proventus de t cpnfi>tentibus~\. He was to
have one virgate of land, which he held in Craneburn,
with the houles belonging to it ; and alfo the whole
tithe of the vilenage [vilenagii] of Winburn- Abbas,
with the third part of the lordlhip \dominici\ except
the tithe of wool. Every penny offered in his mafs
fhould be his own, and he might claim a third part of
the wedding fees [ fponfalitia ]; but not retain a chap¬
lain under him, without the prior’s confent ,j
By a compofition made between them 14375 the
abbot of Teuklbury agreed to pay John Durant,
vicar, 4 marks and 6 s. 8 d. in lieu of tithes in the
chapelry of Upwinborn; the vicar to ferve that;cjia-;
pel, and to have, his diet with the prior of Cranborn,
and when infirm to be allowed in lieu 14 d. wqej^ly,
and to have an houfe on the S. fide of the cemetery
rent free k. But there wafc feme fubfequent compofi-
tiop hill lefs to the vicar’s advantage; for at prefent
he is entitled to no fort of tithes or glebe, and has
only a falary, of 40 1. per imnutn paid by the earl of
Salilbury. The ancient patrons were the abbots of
Cranborn and Tezohjbnry ; in later ages the lords of
the manor. It is a difehafged living in Pimperii

The: return to tjie commiffion, 1650, was, that
the impropriation belonged to the earl of Salifbury.
The vicarage was worth 20 marks per ann. Thomas
Payne fupplied the cure., j There were three chapels
of eafe, viz. one at Alder holt, near four miles from
Cranborn, but had no minifter or maintenance ; an¬
other at Monkton-Winborn, two' miles from Cran¬
born church, fupplied with a minifter by Mr. Hawles,
who was obliged to do it by his leafe from the faid
earl for the tithes there, which are part of the im¬
propriation ; another at Bpveridge, a mile from Cran¬
born church, but had no minifter or maintenance.

The Chase
is fuch by prefcription. No footfteps appear that it
ever was a foreft, though it might originally have been
fo before it came out of the crown ; for the diftindtion
between a chafe and a foreft is, that the latter was con-
ftituted and pofleffed by the king only, and, on fall¬
ing into a fubje&’s hands, became a chafe, and as
fuch was always held by the houfe of Gloucefter, of
which honour it was held by knight’s fervice. The
bounds of this chafe are fet forth in a very ancient
record, exemplified at the requeft of William Syfer-
vvaft, gent. 11 June, 37 H. VIII ; and again at the
requeft of William earl of Salisbury, 12 061. 14

Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucefter and Hertford,
was fummoned before the juftices itinerant at Schyre-
burn, to Jhew by what warrant he appropriated a
free chafe by the king’s way, that leads between
Shafton and Blaneford, on the hill, from the W.
part of the faid way to the river of Stowres, amend¬
ing from Blancforo-bridge, by the river Stower, to
the river Sturkel, and thence afcending by that river
to Shafton ; within the precinct of which appropria¬
tion are contained the villages of Meleburye, Comp¬
ton, Fontmel, Iwerne-Mynftre, Hampford, Child-
Acford, Iwerne-Courtney, Randolnefton, Stupelton,
Lazerton, Afle, Sturepaine, Notford, Lok, and
Blaneford. William de Gyflelham, who prol'ecuted
for the king, alledged, that the earl had the chafe by
certain marks and bounds; viz. from Chatdevefhed
to Grymefdyche v from thence to Hanleigh, la Deane,
Guftich St. Andrew, Braridon, to the head of Stub-
hampton, and through the middle of that vill, to the
head of Ritherithefdan *, and from thence to the king’s
way that leads to Blaneford, Shaftbn, Terierdiche,
to the head of Weft wood *,- and from thence by the
way called Rigeway, to Malebury, Walebury, or
Salebury, m the bounds of Wiltfhire, that extend be¬
tween Ayfmare and Erfgrave, to Staun, Mortnef-
gore, Stygynh, la Sohputt or Sandeputr, to the head

thence by the marks and bounds that divide Dorfet
and Wilts, to Chatelefheved. The laid earl has ap¬
propriated to his chafe, beyond thefe bounds and
marks, the aforefaid v ills of Melcbury, &c. which
are out of his chafe, and in them made attachments
of vert and venifon, to the king’s prejudice.
The earl alledged, that there was formerly a per¬
ambulation made concerning the bounds of this chafe,
at the time when king John was earl of Gloucefter ;
and that afterwards an inquifition was made by Gal-
frid de Langelegh and Richard Wrotham, juftices,
concerning thefe bounds, by order of the king, at
New-Sarum, 29 H. III. 1244, on the oaths of Tho¬
mas de Hyneton, Henry de Leweftone, Roger de
Stures, and ten more gentlemen, of Dorfet; Galfrid
de Hoefe, and thirteen more gentlemen, of Wilts ;
who all unanimoufly averred, that thefe were the
bounds by the perambulation of the chafe of R. earl
of Gloucester and Hertford, at the time king John
was earl of Gloucefter, between 1189 and 1199 ;
viz. from Bolebrige in Wilton to Hurdecote, by the
river Noddre, to the mills of Dynnington [ Ditton J
and Tysbury ; from thence to Wycham, and by the
river Noddre, to the place where the Seinene falls
into the Noddre; and lb by the river Semene to Se-
menheved, Kingfetel, near Shaftsbury, to Shaftsbury,
Sleybrondefgate, St. Rumbald’s church, and Gilden-
hoc, to the river Sterkel ; and by that river to the
bank of the Stures, and by the bank of that river to
Hayford-Bridge; Blaneford- Bridge, and Crauford-
Bridge. From thence to Aldewynesbrige under
Wimborn, to Wakeford [Wayford], Wychampton,
and Pontem-Petri [Stone- Bridge]. From thence to
Hong-Haya [_Long-Ham\ that leads to Muledich, to
Kynges, by the way tbac leads to L’Efteford, by the
middle of lilt wood, From thence; by the water of
Cramborne, to !a Horewithegh, to Aibelake, and
le Iloreftone. From thence, by the way, to the
great bridge of Rvngwood, or Kyngefwood. From
thence to the bridge of Forde, to Dunton-Bridge,
and Ayilefwadesbnge \_Harnham- Bridge] ; and from
thence to Bolebrige [_ Bull-Bridge j, in Wilton afore-
laid.
This inquifition was returned into chancery ; and
the earl alledged, that the vills before mentioned were
within the faid bounds, and he had a right to appro¬
priate them to his chafe, but had not appropriated
any thing beyond the bounds of the perambulation,
mentioned in the inquifition, 29 H. III. Afcerwards
a day was appointed, on the odtave of St. Martin,
at Weftminfter ; on which day the earl appeared, and
demanded record and judgment: and becaufe it was
found by the inquifition, that the perambulation was
made when king John was earl of Gloucefter, by the
lame bounds by which the faid earl now holds the
chafe, and that the laid inquifition was made by pre¬
cept of king H. 111. the king granted that the earl
Ikon Id hold the chafe by the bounds contained in the
inquifition ; and the fheriff of Dorfet was ordered to
permit the earl to hold it by the faid bounds.
But this did not put an end to thefe dilputes ; for,
44 H. III. Agnes, abbefs of Sr. Edward in Shafton,
being feifed inter alia of the manor of Iwern, had fe-
veral difputes with Richard earl of Gloucefter and
Hertford, for necelfiry boots within the woods of
the chafe, as belonging to the abbefs ; who, by a
writ iffbed againft the earl, demands why he exadled
fealty of her woodwards, and denied them their rea-
fonable eltovers, Sec. Thefe fuits were compounded
35 H. HI. and an agreement made between them,
th.>t the woodwards of the abbefs at Hanleigh, Iwern,
Vol. II.
and Fontmell fhould, at their firft creation, come to
the earl’s courts, and fwear that they would behave
themfelves faithfully towards his venifon within the
chafe, and make known to his bailiffs, &c. all of¬
fenders againft venifon, and their receivers. The
earl agrees, that the abbefs and her men Ihould have
all manner ol eftovers to her abbey, in her manors
c. Wilts and Dorfet, through all her woods within
the chafe ; io that (lie and her lucceflors did not give
or fell, without the earl’s leave, nor cut any under¬
wood to burn or fence, between Pentecoft and Mi¬
chaelmas : and that the keepers fhould attach of¬
fenders in thole woods without claim of the abbefs,
but not attach her or her fervants, unlefs found with
venifon within the fame, 8c c. For this the abbefs
paid 60 marks to the earl.
3 E. 1. the hundred of Gillingham made a pre-
fentnient, that, t. R. Ill. Richard, father of Gilbert,
now earl of Gloucefter, exceeded the metes and bounds
between the way to Shafton and Blanford, and the
banks of the Stower, and did make attachments there,
which never ufed or oughc to be made; viz. cke-
minage at Bulbridge and Aylefwade- Bridge. Thefe
contefts and prelentment, and no doubt others of
the like nature, brought on the quo warranto of 8
E. I. The ear), as appears by another record, claimed
to have in his manor of Cranborn free hundred and
free chafe belonging to that manor, according to a
perambulation formerly made ; and to have a court
for the faid chafe, and pleas in it for vert and venifon,
and the attachment of men attached cum manu, opera

fuper hundred, fuerint, all kind of damages [agendas]
in the faid court : and that he and his ancelbors had
ufed thefe privileges from time immemorial. The
refulc was, an allowance of his claim, -and he had judg¬
ment to hold the chafe by the ancient bounds made
when king John was earl of Gloucefter. But eveii
this did not end thefe difputes; for, 3 3 E. III. a
judgment was obtained on a verdidt by Elizabeth de
Burgh, againft John de Upton, for entering this
chafe at Cranborn, Pentridge, Afhmore, Gulfage,
Chettle, and Tarent-Gunvil, and hunting, killing,
and carrying away venifon ; for which he was impri-
foned, and fined 40 marks.
No more contefts occur till 15 Jac. I. ; when lord
Arundel of Wardour, Mr. Gawen, &c. fet up a claim,
that all their lands, c. Wilts, were exempt from the
chafe ; and entered it, and killed the deer, and brought
atftions againft the keepers for walking on thefe lands.
Mr. Swain, Sec. encouraged by this, made the fame
attempts with refpedt to their lands at Gunvil, &c.
in this county. On this the earl of Salisbury brought
a bill in the exchequer againft lord Arundel, &c. and
obtained a decree, which was eight days in hearing,
that all the lands in difpute, in Wilts, fhould be
always held as chafe. All was quiet here till 8
Car. I. ; when .... Cole, owntr of the manor of
Wichampton, interrupted the earl in the enjoyment
of that part of Chettered-walk which extended into
his lands there ; for which the earl brought his bill
in the exchequer, and had a decree in his favour.
But about 1727 this difpute was revived by Mr.
Bower of I wern-Minfter, Mr. Peter Walter of Stal-
bridge, Mr. Fownes of Stepieton, Mr. Harbin of
Gunvil, See. Some afierted their lands were out of
the limits of the chale ; others, they vvere purlieu.
Some claimed a park by preicription : but at the ai-
fizes at Dorchefter, July 29, 1732, after a full hear¬
ing before Mr. Juftice Denton, which lafted fourteen
hours, this caul'e between George Pitt, jun. of Shro-

ton, efq. owner of me chafe, plaintiff, and Thomas
Fownes and Henry Bower, elqrs. defendants, con¬
cerning the plaintiff’s right of chafe on the defen¬
dant’s lands in Stepleton and Iwern Minffer, was de¬
termined. The jury* confifting entirely of gentlemen,
nine of whom had before taken a view of the places
in queflion purfuant to a rule of court* gave a
verduft for the plaintiff.
The great and ancient difpute about the bounds of
the chafe feems to he fully adjufted by thefe records
and trials. Indeed only the inn or ffiort bounds in
Dorfet are mentioned by the king’s attorney in the
quo warranto, 8 E. I* *, but then adjudged contrary to
tiie perambulation made when king John was earl of
Gloucefter, which was made before any •afforr'eftation :
fo that it could not be newly afforrefte'd, Within the
meaning of the Charta de Forefta, and therefore
could not be purlieu •, for the ftatute tor de-afforeffmg
what H. II. R. I. and king John had affoireffed,
was made- 9 H. 111. The prefcntments of the hun¬
dred of Gillingham and others could not deftroy the
bounds of the chafe, but rather feem levelled at the
mifufe of the chafe, by impoling forefl: laws; In the
veruift obtained by Elizabeth de Burgo, all the places
m difpute, 1727, except Affimore, are without the
pretended bounds. In the ancient court-rolls of the
chafe are great variety of preferments and punifh-
ments, for facts committed in c. Wilts, in Alderholt and
Chettered -Walks, Gunvil, Ranffon, and Iwern-Min-
iter, all without the fhort bounds. Cheminage is
now received at Harnham Bridge, and formerly at
Bullbridge, by the lord of the chafe, till about if>
Jac. I. ; when the earl of Salisbury granted that part
of the chafe called Fern -Ditch in fee to the earl of
Pembroke, by certain bounds, in which Bullbridge
was included. The pretended in-bounds would ex¬
clude above half the chafe •, all of it that lies in c.
Wilts and Hants •, Rufhmore, Staplefoot, Burfey-
Stool lodges, and greateft part of the walks •, all Fern-
Ditch lodge and walk, c. Wilts; all Chettered walk
and lodge, and Alderholt-lodge and walk, c. Dorfet,
Wilts, and FJants ; and ail. the chafe on the W. fide
of the road from Blanford to Shafton, to the river
Stour. The chafe-courts were formerly held at
Cranborn, afterwards at Winborn Sr. Giles, and now
at Ruffimore ; all which places are out of the pretended
bounds, qc . u . s >
In the chafe are now fix lodges, and walks belong-
ing to them. In each fome gentleman is ranger, by
deputation from Mr. Pitt ; and there are keepers to
preferve the game, or kill it by their order. For¬
merly Cranborn was the chief lodge. Rufhmore , in
Berwick St. John’s, c. Wilts, belongs to George Pit!,
efq. ; Staplefoot to George F enruddock, efq. ; Colley, in
Broad-Chalk, to Mr. Cbafin •, Bur fey -Stool, in Farn-
hanpj . to . . . . ki. . . .; Wejl-Lodge, in Iwern-
Miniter, to John Pitt, efq.*, and Chettered , in Ta-
rent-Monkton, to Humphry Sturt , efq. ;
Formerly there were two more ; viz. Alderholt , in
the parifh of Cranborn (which extends into Wiltfhire ;
but t. H. VIII* tire deer were deftroyed, and never
flocked fince) j and Fern-Ditch, or Vernditch, in .
c. Wilts, alienated, as is before-mentioned, to the earl
of Pembroke.
1 he lords of the manor of Cranborn were always
lords of the chafe. 14 Jac. I. it was, with the free
x Rot. Pat. y Ibid* m. 26.
chafe and warren, granted to William earl of Salislury ,
and his heirs; and, next year, April 4, the premiles,
with woods, liberties, jurifdidtions, &c. thereunto
belonging, were granted to him as before, paying yearly
20s. 2.3 Car. II. the reverlion in fee was granted”
to 'Thomas Stringer, at the requeft and nomination
of Anthony earl of Shaftsbury. In 1692, Anthony
earl of ■■ Shaftsbury being feiled of it for life, with re¬
mainder to Anthony lord Afhley , his fon and heir-ap¬
parent in tail- male, the earl iurrendering his efface
for life to lord Afhley, he granted it in fee to Tho-
mas Freke, of Shroton, efq. ; whence with his other
eftates it came to the Fitts of Stratfleld-Say.- The
honourable George Pitt, is now lord of it.
To the chafe belongs a court, called Wood or
Chafe-Court, by grants and prefeription, for the pre-
lervation of verr. and veniion •, which was formerly
held yearly or oftener, but, li nee the ftatute for the
punifhment of deer-ftealefs, rarely ; and the punifhm
menc of offenders in that court has been difufed.
It was held by the earl of Salisbury a: Cranborn,
by the earl of Shaftsbury at Winborn St. Giles, by
the Frekesand Pitts at Rufhmore, where a court was
held Oct. 19, 1743, and others fince. In the an¬
cient court-rolls, mention is made of a room in tbe>
manor-houfe at Cranborn, called the Dungeon, reputed
the chafe prilon *, and by old prefen cments it appears
to have been much in ufe.
In the fence month, viz. fifteen days before and after
Midfummer-day, a toll of qd. for every waggon, and
1 d. for every pack-horfe, paffing over Harnham-
Bridge, is paid on account of travellers difturbing the
deer when dropping their fawns. At that time a
pair of horns are fixed at that bridge, to give notice
to travellers, and the duty was collected by vircue
of a warrant from the ftevvard of the chafe.
While the chafe was in the crown, a cuftos or keeper
was appointed, who was generally a perfon cf diftinc-
tion. James Ormond, earl of Wilts, was by Richard
duke of York made chief cuftos of this chafe, with
the parks, &c. to be held for term of life, by himfelf
or deputy. He, 27 H. VI. conftitutes Edmund
Ayfhely, efq. his deputy during pleafure •, and to
receive yearly all fees of hay, grain, &c. of the ab-
beffes of Shafton and Wilton, due ah antiquo to thd
faid office ; and requires all fbrrefters and park-
keepers to be affiftant to him. 38 H. VI. the faid
earl of Wilts was made keeper of this chafe ■*. 22
E. IV. the office of ranger of the- king’s chafe, and
keeper of the king’s lodge at Rufhemere, were granted
to Thomas Dackhem, valet of the king’s chamber,
for life -T. In 1627, the office of keeper of the two
perambulations in this chafe were granted to fir Tho¬
mas Aylesbury, bart. for life z. 12 lbliz. the office
of- chief fenefehai of this manor, warden and ranger
of the chafe, of the keeper of the park of Blagedon
in this manor, of bailiff and meffor of Cranborn, and
of bailiff' of the manor of Cranborn, were granted to
Henry earl of Pembroke for Jife.
There were formerly four parks at Cranborn, Al¬
derholt, Blagdon, and Flollwell, and large commons,
containing above 4000 acres, moffly barren and
heathy.

a fmall vil!, one mile S. from Cranborn. It proba¬
bly derives its name from its Saxon poffefTor Eadmttnd,
who had his dwelling and eftate here. We do not
find its name in Domefday Book, being perhaps fur-
veyed among the Names, of which there being five
parcels, it cannot be difiinguiihed.
The earlieft account we have of this manor is
that it belonged to the Bayeaux or de Baipcis , .lords
of Upway ; for!, 16 E. I. Elias de Rabayne , at his
death, held this manor, as of the inheritance of Ste¬
phen de Bayoci'S ; and it was held of John MatraVers,
by fervice of one third of a fee, and 40 acres of
■ . • ' t
land, held of fir Robert Plecy a. After this it came
to the Paynes of Stour-Payhe, 6 E. III. Bartbo'io -
viezo Payne held it. :o E. III. John de Sully held
here a foufth of a knight’s fee, which Peter de Mal-
lore formerly held ; and' Bartholomew Payne one.
fourth, which Bartholomew Payne formerly held.
11 R. II. Edward Payne held this manor, and that
of Stour-Pain \ From the Paynes it feems to have
paITed to the Hujfeyt of Shapwiek. 8 E. 1V.‘ Thomas

But here was certainly in this vill another manor,
or a moiety of a manor, which anciently belonged to
de Baiocis, Bello-Bofco , and Irljht as the Sarum re-
gift ers. 19 II. VI. Thomas St. John , and Clement /a
his wife, held this manor and advowfon, and two
manors, c. Oxon \ 35 Id. Vi. ' David Servington

E. VI. held one third of this manor and advowfon, of
the manor of Cranborn, in focagq : Anthony his fon
and heir, xt. 18 b. Hence it feem: to have de¬
feended to the Rogers of Bryan lion and the Twines
of this place, and William Green , of Sarum* efq.
This was the principal or molt confiderable moiety,
to which the advowfon of the re&ory belonged, as
far as appears from the Sarum regifiers of inltitu-
tion ; though the lift of the rectors is imperfect. In
an old book belonging to the mayor or Salisbury it
appears, that, 1396, J. Tliornborn of Sarum gave a

a little vill, fituated about a mile and a half N. from
Chettle, near the borders of Wilttoire, and extend¬
ing into that county. It feems to take its name from
a remarkable plenty of fern growing, hereabout.
Here is a fair kept yearly, Auguft 21.
In Domefday Book n, Ferneham was furveyed in
five parcels. The abbey of Sccptesberie held one hide
here. Aiulfus Camerarius held two hides, worth 30 s. :
he alfo held here of the church of Sceptesberie half
a carucate, worth 30 s. Odo , the ton of Eurebold,
a Frenchman, held here two carucates, worth 40 s. >
Ilkertus. held of the wife of Hugh, the ton of Grip;
one carucate and a half, worth 10 s. Alain held this
parcel of the church of Sceptesberie.
The family of the Clares feem to have been lords-
paramount here. 47 FI. III. Richard de Clare, earl
of Gloucejlcr and Hertford , held at his death knights
fees in Fernham, 8 K. II. his grand ton Gilbert held
one carucate of land, or one fee here, which Elias
Deverel held ; as did their defeendants the Mortimers
earls of March, 22 R. II. 3 E. III. Elizabeth de
Hyneton held one meffuage, one carucate, and 20
acres of land, and 50 s. rent in Fernham, of Eliza¬
beth de Burgo, by one knight’s fee ; and one caru¬
cate, 20 acres of land, and 40 s. rent in Udding, of
Richard de Wilttoire, by fervice of 1 d.
Here feem to have been two manors, or moieties
of manors, and in Domefday Book more than two.
The Firto Manor or Moiety.
This feems to have been the principal manor, to
which the advowfon anciently belonged. The earlieto
lords of it that occur were the de Gujfychs, Deverels ,
and the Boyfcs. Afterwards, 20 E. III. John de
Goals and John de Lucye . held- here a fourth of a
knight’s fee, which John de Gouis and Robert de
Lucye formerly held. Gouis’s moiety feems to have
defeended to the Carys , Deverels , &c. 30 E. III.
Thomas Cary, at his death, held this manor, and one
meffuage, &c. here, of Elizabeth de Burgo, as of
the honour of Gloucetoer ; one meffuage, 1 00 acres,

it came entirely to the Paulets. In 1645, lord Pau-

as of the manor of Pimpern V 15 E. IV. Robert

Church-Lands. It is evident from Domefday
Book, that the abbefs of Shafton had a manor or
parcel of lands here, which feem to have been held
by the Stafords. By a charter of king John, a. r. 7,
reciting and confirming the donation made to that
abbey, it appears that Aiulfus held half an hide in
Farneham of that church, which he after reftored [ red¬
didit J with his daughter, who became a nun there a.
The Kalendarium Muhimentorum Shafton mentions
lands in E. and W. Farnham belonging to that abbey.
1 Eliz. tythes here belonging to Cranborn reftory,
were deitiifed to Thomas Francis for life; and, 20
Eliz. the reverfion was granted to Edward HorJ'ey
and his heirs, as in Hamprefton.
Hookes-Wood,
a farm diftant about a mile N. W. from Farnham,
lately belonged to Chrijlopher Potecary, efq. who mar¬
ried Lucy, daughter of Robert Barber, of Afhmore,
efq. by whom he had one only child, his heirefs,
married to John Clutterbuck, of Puncknoll, efq.
This feems to be a leafehold eftate under the duke
of Bolton.
A little E. of this place, below Woodcotes, rifes
a fmall rivulet, called by Hollingfliead the Terrig,
which falls into the river Allen.
The Church is dedicated to St. Laurence1, and
contains nothing remarkable.
The Rectory.
Robert has the church, and what the villains ar«
willing to give; and he ought to have three qua-
drigata [f. three quarters] of the tythe, which Ralph
the Presbyter hath s. It is not mentioned in the va-
loi 1291. Between 1423 and 1423, this church
had been long, and was not then officiated in propter
etcWtatim x. The raoft ancient patrons were the lords
of the manbr, till about 1329 ; ftnee which, except¬
ing fome particular grants, the patronage has been,
and ftill continues, in the crown. The lords of Of¬
munds manor are Laid to have held the advowfon ;
but this feems to be a mere claim, fince the crown
prefented. It is a difeharged living in Pimpern
deanry.

a pretty large village, fituated S. S. E. from Win-
bourn, on the borders of Hamplhire, into W'hich it
extends. Its moft ancient additional name feems to
have been Chamberlayn , no doubt from Aiulfus the
Chamberlayn who poflelfed it in the Conqueror’s time.
Why it is called B ref on is hard to conjecture, ex¬
cept it wras for fome concern the churcji of Winborn
had here, for the manor belonged to lay lords.
In Domefday Book * Aiulfus Camerarius held Hume.
It confided of five caracates, worth 4I. 10 s.
In fucceeding times, the manor feems to have been
divided into two moieties, and the Clares were lords
paramount ; for, 8 E. II. Gilbert earl of Gloucejler
and Hertford held in Hamprefton, &c. three fees,
held by Robert de Lucy and John de Gouis, as did
their defeendants, the Mortimers, earls of March,
22 R. II. and 3 H. VI, who alfo held another fee,

belonged to the Lucys, who had a concern alfo in
Farnham and Long-Crichel, which laft was probably
their place of refidence. 32 E. I, Hugh de la Hyde
held lands here of Robert de Lucy. 20 E. Ill, 'John
de Lucy and Alice, who was wife of Hugh de Hen-
ton, held one fourth part of a fee in Hamme, which
John de Gouis and Alicia de Lucy formerly held.
3 R. II, William de Lucy chivaler, granted to Roger

Savage , at his death, held this manor and advowfon
of Margaret duchefs of Richmond, as of her manor
of Canford ; William Savage, chaplain, his brother
and heir r. After this it came to the lords Daubeney ;
but how it palled from them does not appear.
The fecond Manor or Moiety
feems to have belonged to the Gouis’s of Long-Cri¬
chel, to whom it came from Hineton and Camel.
7 H. IV, Alianor, wife of John, fon of Thomas Free-

about which time the Bayntons feem to have for¬
feited it. 3 R. Ill, this manor and advowfon of the
church of All Saints were granted to George Nevile,
efquire of the king’s body. But before this, 1 9 E. IV,
John Cole , at his death, held here one meffuage and

But the family of the Bayntons feem to have been

Baynton, kt. prefented to this redory 1541. But
not long after it was forfeited, or fell to the crown ;
for, . i H. VIII, it was granted to fir Thomas Arundel,
kt. and, on his attainder, 7 E. VI, to his lady. 1
Mary, a moiety of it was granted to Matthew his fon.
In 1645 lord Arundel , of Wardour’s old rents of

tered. 12 Car. II, this manor and advowfon, once

granted, inter alia, to Henry lord Arundel and his
heirs. Both t’nefe manors noW belong to Henry lord
Arundel of Wardour.
Church-Lands. In 1293 lands in Hamme-
Preflone belonging to the abbot of Teukejbury, were
valued at five marks. 1 Eliz. a portion of tithes be¬
longing to Winburn college was granted to Robert

but afterwards taken out of it ; for, 19 H. VI, 1440,

In 1291 the dean of Winborn had a portion in the
church of Hamm-Chamberlayn of 20 s. and a pen¬
fion of 10 s. in the fame. The patrons were an-
tiently the lords of the two manors or moieties, if
they can properly be fo fliled, for they only nomi¬
nated a clerk alternately, who was prefented by the
dean of Winburn. The lord Arundel is now patron,
pleno jure. It is in Pimpern deanry.

In Domefday Book 7 Radulphus de Creneburne held
Perlai. It confifted of two carucates, worth 30 s.
The family of the Clares were lords paramount
here ; for, 8 E. II, we find G. de Clare, earl of
Gloucefter and Hertford, held in Perleigh one fee
and one. carucate, which Gilbert de Effefield, or
Elyffeld, held of him, as did his defeendants the
earls of March 22 R. II, and 3 H. VI. 20 E. Ill,
Gilbert Elyffeld held here one fourth of a knight’s
fee, which John de Elyfeld formerly held. 14 R. II,
Philip Fitzpain, John Plecy, and John Streche, held
this manor of the heir of the earl of March ; alfo
the manor of Milborn St. Andrew. 8 H. IV, John
Plecy £of Shapwick] held it of the earl of March ;
as did John Plecy 4 H. V. Hence it came to the
Cammels of Shapwick. 20 H. VII, William Cammel
held this manor and advowfon of the king, as of
his duchy of York, and the manor of Kentlefworth,
and lands in Marnhull ; Catharine, late wife of Tho¬
mas Alwyn, his filler and heir z. 34 H. VIII, Richard
Wejlon held this manor and advowfon as before, and

In 1763 the farm here, confiding of 130 acres, with

feveral books and evidences belonging to that houlty
we find an account of this place, viz. Woodvare,
c. Dorfet, according to Domefday Book, gelded in
fervilia D.regis for four hides, which was held of
the abbot by knights ferviee ab antiyuo. Some place
it in Wikfhire, but it only, borders on the edgeiof
that county. It was formerly parcel of the inheri¬
tance of Alured dc Nichola, and held- of the abbot;
and is now held by Robert Fitz-pain of the abbot
by knights ferviee, as his purparty of the aforefaid
inheritance. It was part of the five knights fees for
which Alured did homage to the abbot 1189, and
paid feurage for them 1242, as did his fon Alured
1257; and from him defeended to Robert Fitzpaine
and his fuccefiors, who did homage 1264, 13,04,
1336, 1 343 s. After this, 10 H. IV*,' 7 and S
H. VI, we find in the inquifitions of the Monteacuies
earls of Sarum, that they had a concern here* Thus
it feems to have been divided into feveral parts, but
we have no farther account of the owners.
The Church, dedicated to St. Rumbold, contains
nothing remarkable. It is in Pimpexn deanry.
a {mall village, fituate three miles N. from Cranborn,
on the borders of Wikfhire. It feems to derive its
name from the Britiih Pen, a head, or chief part,
i. e. of a ridge of a hill, or hills, near this place.
In Domefday Cook r‘ the church of St. Mary Glaf-
tonberie held Pentric. The land is fix carucates.
The king holds it now in demefne. It is worth 6 1.
Uluuardus, who held t. r. E. could hot feparate it
from the church.
After this it was entirely alienated from the mo-
nailery. 47 H. VIII, this manor belonged to Ri-
cha d dc Clare earl of Gloucejler and Hertford r ;
which family and their defeendants continued lords
paramount. 7 E. II, Hamo Fitz-Richard held in
Pentrick and Sutton-Poyntz one carucate, being one
fee of G. earl of Gloucefter. 20 E. Ill, Hamo Fitz-
Pdchard held here one third of a knight’s fee, which
Richard Eitz-Hamon formerly held. 15 R. II, it be¬
longed to John Fitz-Richard. 2 H. VIII, John Fitz-
Richard died feifed of this manor, John his fon and
heir tet. 22 r. In 1653 court-baron was held here
for Joan Pyne for her third part of this manor. The
order for holding it was dated at Beckenham in Kent.
It feems to have been parcelled out among feveral
coparceners, but now belongs entirely to the right
honourable the earl of Shaftjbury.
On Penbury hill, near this place, is an extenfive
profpett. It had once a beacon on it.
The Rectory.,
King Henry I, by charter, dated at Marlburg,
1 100, confirmed the donation of Robert Fitz-Hamon
and his knights of the church of Pentrich, inter alia,
to the church of Feukfbury. In 1109 Roger bifhop
of Sarum confirmed the faid church, which be¬
longed to R. Capellanus, to the church of Tewkfbury.
The charter of William carl of Gloucefter, fans date,
directed to his kinfman, Joceline biftiop of Sarum,
teftifies, that the abbot of Teuksbury pleaded in
his court for the advowfon of the church of Pentrith,
which Ilaimo, fon of Gaufridus, claimed, by the
gift of earl Roberr, father of earl William ; and it
was acknowledged in the court-baron of the faid earl,
that the church and monks of Teuksbury poffeifed
the faid church from the days of Robert Haimon,
by his gift ; and that Robert, the father of earl
William, did not give Haimon the right of advow¬
fon when he gave him the manor. The earl de-
fired that, his court having had cognizance of this
claim, the faid church might not be difturbed, but
reftored to its right1. In -1291 this church was va¬
lued at fix marks, quia rector habet aliud benefeium,
as the Bodleian copy. A penfion of one mark was
paid out of it to the camerarius of Teuksbury. The
patronage anciently belonged to that abbey. At the
diffolution it came to the crown, in which it Hill re¬
mains.
East-Wood yates,
a fmall hamlet and tithing, fituated two miles N. E.
from Pentridge, on the very confines of the county,
where is a noted inn on the London road. In
Domefday Book s the church of St. Mary Glaftonbere
held Odietc. It confided of four carucates, once
worth 4I. now 40 s.

SHILLINGSTON,
Vulgarly, Ockford-S hilling ; more truly, Ochford-
EJkclling.
This village is fituated on the S. bank of the river
Stour, three miles N. W. from Durwefton, and takes
its additional name from its ancient lords the Efkel-
lings. '
Here is a wake kept yearly on Sunday after Holy-
Rood day.
In Domefday Book m Alford [Ockford] was held by
Shelin. . Earl Herald held it t. r. E. It confided of
16 carucates, once worth 16 1. now 19!. The af¬
finity, or near refemblance, of the name of Shelin
to that of Elkelling, leaves no room to doubt that this
Schelin was anceftor to the Eskcllings of this place,
who were of Norman extraction, and lords here early
in the reigns of the Norman kings. The ancient
lords paramount of this vill are unknown. In after¬
ages they were the Clares earls of Gloucefier and
Hertford , to whom fucceeded the Mortimers earls of
March ; for, 22 R. II, and 3 H. VI, their heirs held
here four fees, which Thomas and Bryan Turbervile
had held.
Robert Efcheling occurs in the great roll 22 II. II.
John Efcheling held four fees in Acford and in Atte-
grove n. 1 John, Alice wife of John Efchellinges
owed fifteen marks that her land might be in peace
and in the king's proteftion, and that her lord might
not pafs over the fea with horfes and arms " 2 John,
John Elkelling accounts for fifty marks, for holding
his land In England in peace ; and for ten marks, for
having an inquifition whether Robert his fon had
ingrefs to the land of the faid John, in Parfura Ef-
kellingy in Normandy, by his grant ; and for hav¬
ing his feifin, if it appeared that Robert had not
entered by his grant ?. 3 John, John Efchelling ac¬
counted for 100 marks, and one palfrey for his re¬
lief ; and that the king would accept his homage for
four fees in Acford, and one in Attegrave, the land
of John his father. 12, 13 John, he held four fees
in Dorfet, Somerfet, and Wilts Viviana [Efchel¬
ling], lady of Acford-Eikelling, in her free widow¬
hood, grants by charter to the monks of Ford, free
ingrefs and egrefs in that manor, for buying and
carrying hay through her lands. Teft. D. William
Mohun, Thomas Elkelling, &c. fans date. On the
feal, a bird riling: round it, S. VIVIANA ESCHEL-
LING. By another, fans date, Ihe confirmed the
fale of an acre of meadow in IIole-Mead, made by
Peter fil. Benedifti to the faid monks. By another,
fans date, {he granted to the laid monks liberum chimi-
nium, to mow, 8ec. five acres of meadow in this ma¬
nor, which Reginald parfon of Ham gave them,
which was confirmed by Thomas Elkelling ; and alfo
granted them free ingrefs, &c. Teft. Will, de
Moiun, kt. Reginald reftor of Hamme, Thomas Ef-
kelling, and Thomas Matravers. Thefe two laft
charters have feats, round which are the lame in-
fcriptions as on the former. In the middle an
efcotcheon, but the arms or device worn out.
Thomas , fon of Matthew Elkelling, confirms the
charter of Reginald, parfon of Hamme, who gave to
the church of St. Mary at Ford, in pure and perpe¬
tual alms, five acres of meadow, lying fub alneto de
Alfrickefham, irt this manor, which he" bought of
Thomas, fon of Matthew Efchelling : Teft. D . Will,
de Moyun, Baldwin del Moyim, Galfrid de Moyne.
Hence it came by marriage to the Turberviles, a dif¬
ferent family from that of Bere-Regis ; but how re¬
lated to them, or any other branch of the familv,
does mot apftear. Bartholomew de Turbervile, of
Ackford-Efkdling,' gf^Ms by charter to the abbot

William de Turbervile, John Matravers, Benedict
MatraVfers,' &c. By another, fans date, he grants to
them a piece of meadow called la More, in pure and

of filvef In hand [/>;<£ ihanibus]. On the feal a crelcent

neftone, knts. Baftholbmew and William Turbervile,
&c. Round the feal, S. ROB. DE TURBERVILE.
4 E. II. Bryan Turbervile, lord of Ackford-Skylling,
fon and heir of Robert Turbervile, certifies that the
abbot and convent of Ford had recovered againft him,
by writ before the king’s juftices of aflize for the
county of Dorfet, 4 E. II. a mead called la More, in
Ackford-Skylling. He quits claim to them for ever,
except to pafture in the mead after the hay is made;
and grants free ingrefs* 8cc. and leave to mend the
ways : Teft. Richard de Havering, John de Turber¬
vile, Flenry Tonere, Rad. Rocheford, knts. &c. By
another deed, dated the fame year, he certifies that
he had feen a charter of Viviana his grandmother,
and recites her two laft charters, and that of his fa¬
ther Robert ; all which he confirms to the faid abbot.
7 E. II. on the death of Gilbert de Clare, earl of
Gloucefter and Hertford, he held this manor of him
by fervice of four knights fees. 18 E. II. he gave
ro marks, and 65. 8 d. rent in Abberbury, c. Oxon,
to . r. 1 E. III. he had a grant of a market
on Fridays, and two fairs here 5. Andrew, fon and
heir of B. de Turbervile, knt. quits claim to the
abbot, &c. of Ford* of the donation of Reginald,
parfon of Hamme, and Peter, fil. Benedicli, in per¬
petual alms. Dat. 14 E. II. On the feal the arms
of Turbervile. 20 E. III. Andrew Turbervile held
in Ackford half a fee, which Brian de Turbervile
formerly held. This Andrew was living 1349, and
feems to have been the laft of this family ; for, 1393,
this manor came to the Hafeldencs, but whether by
marriage or purchafe is not known. 20 E. III.

lunacy. 2 Jac. 1. this manor, late belonging to
Bartholomew Brokesbv, attainted, was granted to ‘Tho¬

purchafe, before 27 Jac. I. to fir Edward Coke, de¬
scended from William Coke, of Dodington in Nor¬
folk ; which family afterwards removed to Mileham,
in the lame county u. Sir Edward was one of the
mod eminent lawyers of his age, and made lord chief
juftice of the Common Pleas, 1606 * lord chief juflice
of England, 1613; being the lad who bore that
title. He acquired a very large eftate, and died 1633,
leaving a great charafter behind him. In 1645, fir
Robert Coke, knt. had his old rents of this manor,
val. 33 1. lequeftered. He leems to have been great -
grandfon to the chief juftice. Thomas, lineal defen¬
dant from the chief juftice’s fifth fon Henry, was
created baron Lovel, of Minfter-Lovel, c. Oxon,
1728, and earl of Leicefter, 1744. He died with¬
out ilfue, 1759 ; on which his titles became extinct,
and his heirs fold this manor to Julincs Bedford , ot

was anciently divided into two moieties, the upper
and lower. One was an appendage to the manor,
and the patronage was veiled in the lord. The other
belonged to the priory of Monteacute, till the diffo-
lution. In 1291, this church of Aekford-Skilling was
divided between two reftors : the portion of Pel-
linge, or Skillinge, rated at 100 s.: the portion of
Turbervile reflor rated at 100 s. The prior of Mon¬
teacute had a penfion of 10 s. out of the latter. In
the prefent valor, 1534, thefe moieties are Hill rated
feparately. That belonging to the priory of Mon¬
teacute was granted, 36 H. VIII. to Thomas Hall.
They remained feparate till 1572. It is uncertain
when they were united, but it was before the Refto-
ration ; mice which, though they are held by one
reftor, he leems to be prefented feparately to each
moiety. It is in Whitchurch deanry.

The anceftors of this Family were originally of
Blanford-Forum, and merchants there. There was a
branch of them feared at Pimpern, and another at
Leverirmton in the file of Ely. in which church are

monuments for John Swaine, efq. who married Mary
daughter of John Treg.on.wel, of Anderl'on, elq.
(lhe died 1631) and lb me others of that family, of
which Spelman Swaine, efq. was lately living. Ri¬
chard Swaine, the laid of this family, had a brother
named Edward* anceftor to thofe of Wareham. The
family became extinft; about the beginning of this
century. The heirefs of Richard Swaine, efq. brought
this eftate to Windham Harbin, of Newton, near Yeo¬
vil in Somerfetfhire, vvhofe lbn Swaine Harbin, efq.
now poifeffes it.

anciently a manor, of which we have no very early
accounts. The hamlet is now depopulated, and re¬

Regis. Here was formerly a fmall farm, which is
now entirely occupied by the houfe and its environs.
2 H. VIII, . Knoyle ; and, 24 H. VIII, Leo¬
nard Knoyle held land in Gunvil-Eaftbury of the
manor of Cranborn. 16 H. VIII, John Leygh , at his
death, held a third part of the manor of Gunvil-
Eaftbury, held of ... . Philpot. 8 H. VIII, Peter
Dodington held at his death another part of the
fame. After this it palfed to feveral unknown pro¬
prietors. 7 Anne, an aft; palfed to enable William
Hozue of Somerton-Early, c. Somerfet, to fell the
manor and farm of Gunvill-Eaftbury, alias Tarent-
Gunvil, and mefluages and lands there.
About this time it was purchafed by George Dod¬
dington , of Somerfet, efq. of whofe family,, which
had little or no concern in this county, I am not
enabled to give a very perfetft account. In the Vifita-
tion of the county of Wilts, 1565, is a pedigree of this
family, ftyled of Doddington, c. Somerfet, of which
the late lord Mel comb died poffeffed. Peter, fecond
fon of Thomas Doddington, of that place, is ftyled
of Woodland in the parifh of Bere, c. Wilts, from
whom feven defeents are given. There was alfo a
branch of this family feated at Bremer, c. Wilts.
George Doddington, before-mentioned, efq. was one
of the lords of the admiralty, during the reigns of
king William, queen Anne, and king George I. He
dying without iffne left a very confiderable fortune
to his nephew George Bubb , efq. who aifumed his
name and arms by aft; of parliament; and, 4 Geo. I,
171 was envoy extraordinary to the court of Spain ;
plenipotentiary there 1716; member of parliament
for Bridgwater, Waymouth, and Melcomb-Regis.
Pie held many great polls and employments in the
reigns of Geo. I, and II. He was created baron of
Melcomb-Regis 1761, and died without iffue 1762.
His feat and eilate here came by a family fettlement
to Richard carl Temple ; but he left the bulk of his
fortune to Thomas- Windham, of Windham, efq.
The feat, of carl Temple here is one of the grandeft
and mod Yu per b in this county, and indeed in the
kingdom. It was begun about 1718, by George
Doddington, efq. who only finilhed the offices.
VOL. II.
His portrait is over the faloon chimney. The houfe
was begun about 1724* by the late lord Mclcomb ;
and the whole entirely finifhed about 1738, at the
expence of 140*0.00 1. The gardens are very ex ten-
five and beautiful, adorned with viftos and planta¬
tions of trees : many of which were removed hither
fome miles oft', after fifty years growth, and weighed
three toils. The canals were fupplied by an engine
worked by horfes. The elegant furniture of the
houfe was all fold, 1763. Adjoining to the houfe. the
late lord Melcomb inclofed a park, five miles round,
including great part of Tarent-Hinton, Tarent-
Monkton, and extending into feveral other neigh¬
bouring parifhes.
The approach to this houfe is through a beautiful
lawn, whence we pafs through a grand arcade, on
each fide of which the offices are ranged, and land
from a flight of fteps eleven feet high, under a noble
Doric portico, crowned with a pediment, extending
fixty-two feet, the pillars whereof are forty-fix feet
high, opening into a magnificent hall, adorned with
flatties and bulls. This faloon is richly decorated ;
at one end of it are three noble apartments, one
hung with crimfon velvet, another with flowered vel¬
vet, a third with fatin, all richly laced with gold.
At the other end are a drawing-room and a large
dining-room. The marble tables in thefe rooms are
Very curious and valuable, purchafed in Italy.
The main body of the houfe extends 144 feet, and
is 95 feet in depth ; to which join the arcades which
form the great court, which is 1 60 feet in breadth in the
clear, and its depth, from the houfe to the entrance,
is 210 feet. The arcades are ten feet wide. The
offices, placed on each fide of the arcades, in the
center of them, extend each 133 feet, and are in
depth 16 1. The inner courts of thefe offices are
161 by 80, in the clear. Beyond thefe other build¬
ings are carried in the fame line 50 feet each way,
forming two other courts. So that the whole
front of the buildings and offices extends 570 feet.
Thefe buildings being of different heights, and the
turrets at each corner of the, houfe, with the Vene¬
tian windows, rifing above the reft, give the whole
ftrucfture a very grand appearance.

anciently a manor, now a hamlet, a little N. from
Tarent-Gunvil. It feems formerly to have belonged

John fon of Ancellus, &c. deforcient, concerning
one third of fome virgates of land in Gunvil, Steping¬

This little vill is fituated two miles N. E. from
Tarent-Keynfton, and takes its principal name from
the river Tarent, on which it ftands, and its additional
denomination of Vilen-, Rpjlitw, Rujje'aux, &.c; from
fome very ancient owners. In Domelday Book it
cannot be diftinguiflied from the reft .of the Ta-
rents. ' >
A family called Viler s were lords- of Newbolr, in
the parifti of Kinalton, t. H. I, and continued there
to t. E. Ill, or ll.;H, when their pofteftions- came to
Foliambeb Whether any of this family were lords
of this place is uncertain ; but a family of the fame
name had a. concern in this county. 1 z and 1 3 John,
Roger Vilers held four fees in Dorfet, Somerlet, and
Wilts 3. William Fil, Roger and Johan, held feyen fees
in the faid county s. After this it came to the Clares.
24 E. I, Gilbert , furnamed The Red , earl of G/ou -
cejler and Hertford , held this manor of Tarent of the
king in chief, as of the honour of Cranborn, for one
knight’s fee r.
lienee it palfed (no doubt by gift of this family)
to a younger branch of it, Gilbert de Clare (fon of
Thomas, fecond fon of Richard Clare, earl bf Glou-
ceftCr and Hertford11) who held the manor of Tarent-
Rufheaufton of Gilbert, fon of Gilbert d'e Clare, .earl
of Gloucefter and Hertford, by fervice of haif a
knight’s fee; 18 acres of land in the faid vill of
Robert de Keynes, and 42 acres of Nicholas Antioch ;
and the feventh part of the manor of Sturminfter-
Marfhal ; Richard his brother and heir, aged 24 b
This family were fenefchals of the county of Efl’ex,
in which their reiidence probably was. Richard ,
great nephew to Gilbert abovemeritioned, was
the laft of this. family, and dying without ililie, his
fillers (Dugdale y fays his aunts) became his coheirs.
Margaret, the eldeft, brought a moiety of this ma¬
nor to her husband Bartholomew Badlefmere, a baron
of this realm, feated at Badlefmere and Leeds caftle
in Kent, in which county he had very large poffef-
fions ; but adhering to Thomas earl of Lancafter and
the’difeontented barons, he was taken priforierjit the
battle of Burroughbridge, c. York, 15 E. II, and
fent to Canterbury, where he was hanged. Giles ,
fon of the faid Bartholomew, lucceeded him, and had
livery of his lands, 7.E. III, though not of full age;
He died, 12 E. Ill, feifed of a moiety of this manor,
the manor of Noteford, or lands there, a moiety
of the hundred of Coukefdiche, and land in Stur-
minfter-Marlhal, befides many other manors and lands
in Kent and feveral other counties, leaving his four
fillers his heirs, whereof Margery married William
lord Roos of Hamelake, to whom this moiety (with
other manors and lands in other counties) came upon
a partition made 12 E. III. c

and next heir, as t. 16. a 20 E. III. lady Roos and

Gilbert de Clare formerly held. William, eldeft Ion
of William lord Ros, died 46 E. Ill. and ‘ Thomas- his
brother fucceeded him -, and died 7 R. II. feifed
inter alia of a moiety of this manor a. We find no
farther account of this moiety relating to this family,
nor how it defcended, or to whom it was alienated.
1 fiiall only add, that this family became extindl in
Edmund lord Ros, who died 24 H. VII. 150&, with¬
out ifiue. His three fitters were his coheirs. Eleanor,
the eldeft, brought part of the eftate to fir Robert
Manners, whole defendants the earls and dukes of
Rutland retain the title of baron Ros.
The other moiety of this manor came by Maud,
fecond fitter of Richard Clare, to Robert lord Clifford
of Appelby. 10 E. III. Robert Clifford held for
term of life the moiety of the manor of Tarent-
Ruyefi>enton, two virgates of land in Sturrainfter-
Marfhal, and a moiety of the hundred of Coukel-
ditche ; which tenements after the faid Robert
ought to remain to Thomas Clifford, his fecond fon :
Robert his fon and next heir, ret. 16. The tame
year Ifabel [probably fecond wife of Robert Clifford,
decealedj held the moieties of that manor and hun¬
dred \ We do- not find that this family had any
farther concern here, nor to whom it defcended, or
to whom alienated. But not long after it was Thomas

pofieffed of the other moiety fome years before 4 for
they appear to have been foie patrons of the re&ory

This fmall village, as well as Shillingfton and Bell-
chalwel its neighbours, lies fat detached from Cran-
born hundred to which they belong. Turnwortli
is fituated in a vale, two miles N. from Winterborn-
Stickland. Mr. Coker calls it Towrwood, and makes
the river Winterborn to rife here; both which are
to be numbered among his errors.
In Domefday Booku, Torneworde belonged to Alu-
redus Hifpanienjis , who held it of the king. It confifted
of fix carucates, and had been worth but 6 1. now 10 1.
Not long after it came to the de Lincolnias's , or
Nicholes’ s, of Ockford-Fitzpain. Alfred , fon of Al¬
fred de Lincolnia, by charter fans date, grants to
the church of St. Mary at Ford, and the monks
there, for the health of his foul, and thofe of his
anceftors, in perpetual alms, half an hide of land in
his manor of Turnword ; viz. in Watacumba 20 acres,
in Hengftelega ir, in Neteldene 11, in Brocham

of the mountain called Alwardus, to the way which
leads from Ackford towards Turnewerde. The monks
to have whatever is contained within thefe bounds,
except the wood on the W. part of the way, called
Hildewaie. He alfo grants them two acres of mea¬
dow at Niwetun, to hold of him and his heirs, pay¬

and Edith , 15 years old d ; who, 5 and 6 Philip and
Mary, had their livery of the premifes mentioned in
the grant, 37 H. VIII. e value 12 1. 8 s.
Mary , eldeft daughter of William Bampfield,
married William Frier , of Oxford, efq. He purchafed
Water-Eaton in that county, the feat of his defcen-
dants. Edward his fon was created baronet 1620 f.
William his fon died unmarried, and the title became
extinct. As this family do not feem to have had
any concern here long, it is probable that the Twy-
nihoes purchafed their part of this manor.
William Twyniho, the firft of this family, is ftiled
of Kayford, c. Somerfet, and feems to have lived
about 14002. From him are five defcents given, to
Chrifiopher Twyniho, the firft: of the Turnworth line.
One William Twyniho was knight of the ftiire for
this county 17 E. IV. and member for Shafton, 23
H. VI. Chriftopher Twyniho, fon of William, the
firft of this family, was a man of confiderable note,
at leaft for his many and great preferments. He was
prefented to the prebendal church of Ludington, c.
Wilts; to that of'Fontmel, 1470 ; to the church
of Donehead St. Mary, which he reiigned for Done-
head St. Andrew, 1502 ; to the redory of Gilling¬
ham, 1504 ; to all which he was prefented by the
abbefs of Shafton. He was collated by the bilhop of
Sarum to a canonry at Sarum, and prebend of Stoce-
ford : and, on refigning the prebend of Axford, he
was preferred to a canonry and the prebend of Chard-
ftock, 1504; to the archdeaconry of Berks, 1506;
to a canonry and the prebend of Hyeworth, and alfo
to the provoftfhip of the collegiate church of St. Ed¬
mund, Sarum. He is laid to be collated to thefe
preferments intuitu charitatis. He feems to have died
about 1509; for, 20 Dec. that year, Stephen Bere-
worth, M. D. was collated to the prebend at Hye¬
worth, and archdeaconry of Berks, on the death of
C. Twyniho. His filter was abbefs of Shafton.
There were feveral branches of this family feated at
Steeple-Afton, c. Wilts, at Shipton-Solers, c. Glou-
cefter, and at Cirencefter. 12 E. IV. John Twy¬
niho, of the laft-mentioned place, founded a perpe¬
tual chantry for one chaplain, at the altar of St.
Blafe, in the church of Lechelade, c. Gloucefter s.
1 Mary, Edmund Twyneo was member for Old-
Sarum. 1 Jac. I. William Twyneo for Bifbop’s-
Caftle, c. Salop. 1 Jac. I. William Twyneo, gent,
for Midhurft, c. Suftex h.
We meet with this family often in this county,
but they never feem to have had any confiderable
concern. Thomas Twyniho, by will, dated 1496,
proved 1497, ordered his body to be buried at
More-Crichel, and bequeaths to Margery his wife a
leafehold eftate near Frome-Selwood *. Margaret
Twyniho, of Reding, widow, by will, dated 1500,
proved 1501, ordered her body to be buried in the
o r t • h. m
i
chapel of St. Francis, in the Grey-Friars in Reading,
near the tomb of her father and mother. Cartw ahd
Carrent, her fecond and third husbands, are men¬
tioned alfo Nicholas her fon, Elizabeth and Mar¬
garet her daughters, and William Twyniho her fon.
She gives to the church of More-Crichel, where her
husband lay, 14 s. 4 d. k John Twyniho, efq. mar¬
ried Eleanor relift of Thomas Strangeways about
1480. 13 Eliz. lands in Prefton, Little-Kaynefton,
1 arent-Parva, and Iwern, were held by John Swaine,
who had a pardon for acquiring them of Thomas
Twyniho, gent. val. 3 1. 8 s. In the reign of H. VIII.
there was a family of this name feated at, or poUdled
of, Barnefiey, in Winburn-Minfter.
Chrijlopher , who firft pofiefted Turnworth, was
fon of George Twyniho, of Kayford, efq. by a fe¬
cond venter ; and, 24 Eliz. he and Edith his wife,
and William Fryer and Mary his wife, held the pre¬
mifes mentioned in the grant, 37 H. VIII. in right
of their wives, daughters of William Bamfield, of
the. queen in chief, by the twentieth part of a knight’s
fee, val. 12 1 8. s.

oxen, and 140 Iheep ; which he had by grant from
Roger Lupton, provoft of Eton, for 35 years, pay¬
ing yearly to the faid John, farmer of the manor of
Milborne-Beke, 5 s. It was held in part by fir
George Moreton, 1610. 7 E. VI. 17 acres of arable,
parcel of the poffcftions of Tbojnas lord Seymer of
Sudley, attainted, were granted to the earl of Bed¬
ford. 3 and 4 Philip and Mary, the premifes were

worth, gent, by John Swain , of Blanford, merchant.
34 Eliz. lands here and in Thorndown belonging
to St. Nicholas’s Hofpital, Sarum, were granted to
William Tipper and Robert Daw.
Thorncomb, Thorncomb juxta Blanfordy
anciently an hamlet, and a member of Turnworth;
It lies two miles and a half S. W. from Blanford St.
Mary, by which parifh it is entirely furrounded.
The vill is entirely depopulated, and only a barn
remaining. In 1109, Roger bifhop of Sarum con¬
firms by charter the gift ot R.obert Filz-Hamon and
his knights, of the tithe of Thorncomb to the church
of T'eukesbury. But Fitzhamon and his fucceflors
the Clares were lords paramount, as were the earls of
March their defendants ; who, 22 R. II. and 3
H. VI. held here one-third of a fee, which the abbot
of F'ord holds, and a fee which the cuftos of St. Ni¬
cholas, Sarum, holds.

This village, which is a pretty large one, feems to
derive its name front the Saxon fhc, which denotes
the winding of a river, being fituated near the river
Aliens half a mile S. W. from More-Crichil, in a
pleafant level country, and confifts chiefly of arable
and meadow.
21 E. Ill, a market was granted here on Mondays,
arid a fair on the affumption of our Lady, to John
Matravers, jun. c
In Domefday Book u it is furveyed in two parifhes,
The king holds Wi'chemetune , before belonging to
cjueen Maud. It conftfted of four carucates, worth
100 s. Hubert held Wichenetune of the earl of Mo-
riton. It confifted of one carucate and a half, worth
25 s. Not long after the Conqueft its lords paramount
were the Clares , earls of Glouccjlcr and Hertford ,
and their fucceffors, of whom the mefne lords of this
manor held it. 22 R. II, and 3 H. VI, the earls of
March held in Wichamton, cum membris de Garde-
fham, Smallbroke, and Hull-Deverel, five knights
fees, which John de Matravers held x.
Its inferior lords were the barons Matravers , of
Litchet-Matravers, and the Fitz- Alans, earls of Arun¬
del, their luccelfors, who held it of the honour of
Cranborn, of the lords, by fervice of ten knights
fees : other inquilitions fay five, and fuit at the
hundred of Cranborn, from three weeks to three
weeks. 6 E. II, John Matravers held this manor
cum membris, by five knights fees. 20 E. Ill, John
Matravers held here half' a knight’s fee, which John
Matravers formerly held. Joan , one of the heireffes
of Matravers, brought it "to her husband Robert
Rous : fhe dying without iffuc, Eleanor , her filler,
brought it to John de Arundel. Hence it paffed to a
younger branch, viz. fir Richard Arundel, younger
brother of Thomas earl of Arundel. Mr. Pitt’s MS.
ftileS him a knight, and makes him die without iffue.
DugdalC in his Baronage fays he died young. But,
7 H. V, Richard Arundel, chivaler, at his death, held
this manor of Edmund earl of March, as of his
manor of Cranborn, by knights fervice. Philippa,
Joan, and Alienor were his daughters and heirs ; fo
that he might die young and without iffue male.
Alianor brought it to her husband William St. George*.

to the Fitz-Alans calls' of Arundel. But before this'
time, about 1426, Ralph Rochefort^ knt. and Ri¬
chard Durant are mentioned in the Sanim regifters
as patrons of this reltOry, who were probably leffees,
or grantees, under the Arundels. T7 H. VIII, Tho¬
mas: earl of Arundel, at his death, held this manor, as
of the manor of Cranborn, by fervice of one knight’s
fee*. His fucceffo r, Henry, fold all his eftate in this'
county, t. Eliz. and no doubt this among the reft;
but to whom does not appear.
However we afterwards find it veiled in a family
called Cole, who held it about 1600. In 1645 Mrs.
Joan Cole’s eftate here, value, 1641, 160 1. per ann.
was fequeftered, She compounded for her eftate at
376I. 1 6 s. 4d. One of the Coles, 1692, fold it
to the Deans of Hamplhire. It is probable that-
either Cole or Dean, or fome former proprietor fold
this manor in fee, for the inhabitants are almoft all
freeholders. 4 and £ Anne, an all paffed for the
fale of lands in Dorfet and Hants, late the eftate of
Thoma^ Dearie, efq. deceafed, for payment of debts,
he. Not long after it came to Thomas Pearce ,
efq. commiffioner of fhe navy, and member of par¬
liament for Waymouth. In 1745 his heirs fold the
royafiy and the farm, value 300 1. per, annum, to
fir William Napier, bart.
Oppofite the church is the mrinot'-hottfe, an an¬
cient fabric of brick ; in a window of which is,
fo; tl)C fotole Of OTtUiam KcllC z * and in feveral others
above Hairs and below are thele arms •, A. a fret O.
Htzalan earl of Arundel. Near it is a very large
old barn, fuppofed by the inhabitants to have been
a chapel, and called by them, Fhe Abbey Barn. But
it does not appear that there ever was any religious
houfe or church-lands in this parifli.
Hemsworth-East, or Lozccr- Ilcmelefzvorth,
anciently a manor, fituated half a mile N. W. from
Weft-Hemfworth. In Domefday Book a He?nedei-
worde is furveyed in two parcels ; one of them was
held by Hubert, of the earl of Moriton, and con-
filled of one carucate and a half, worth 25 s. The
other was held by Humphry the chamberlayn. It
confided of one carucate, worth 60 s. 28 E. I, a
market was granted here ; and, 32 E. I, John de Cor¬
mayles had a grant of free warren, a market onTuef-
day, a fair on the eve, day, and morrow of St.
George, in the manor of Eaft-Hemelfworth c. 20
E . III, John de Cormayles held a fourth part of a
knight’s fee in Emelejuorth, in Cranborn hundred,
which John de Cormayles formerly held. We find
nothing more of the lords of this vill for feveral
ages. T. Eliz. we find it in the family of the Ryves -r
for, 15 Eliz, a meffuage, 320 acres of land in Eaft-
Hemfworth, and common for 600 fheep in Weft-
Hemfworth, Wichampton, and Shapwick, were held
by John Ryves, who had licence to alienate to Fhs-

LONG-CRICHEL,
Kyrchil- Longa, 1291.
This vill, diftinguilhed by the name of Long-
Crichel from the other Crichels, on account of its
greater length, is fituated in a champain country,
two miles N. W. from More-Crichel. in Domefday
Book are three places or parcels lurveyed under the
common name of Chirce or Circel ; but we cannot
diftinguilh which of them belongs to this parifh.
It was anciently divided into two tythings and ma¬
nors, called Crichel-Gouis and Crichel-Lucy; which
divisions Hill fubfilf.
The Tything and Manor of Crichel-Gouis.
This is the wefterly part of the parifh. 18 E. II.
John Hajlings held here, half and one eighth of a fee,
which John de Gouis held in demelne, belonging to
the manor of Compton -Valence. 20 E. III. John
de Gouis held here half a fee, which John de Gouis
formerly held. 22 E. III. Laurence Hajlings , earl of
Pembroke , died feifed of half a fee here, which John
de Gouis held b. 12 R. II. William Payne , of E.
Lullworth, held this manor at his death of Edward
Mortimer, earl of March, for the life of Alianor his
wife, who held it jointly with John de Gouis, her
late husband. 7 H. V. Alianor , wife of John, fon
of Thomas Fremartel, alias Gouis, held at her death
this manor and advowfon of the king in chief, by
fcrvice of the fourth of a fee, and 2 s. rent per ann.
and 20 acres of meadow in Hamprefton. She died
7 H. IV. Joan and Alianor , daughters of Richard,
fon of the laid John, and Alianor, daughter of Ri¬
chard, fon of Alianor, her kinfwomen and heirs.
Joan married Richard Langford, and Alianor John
Savage, and afterwards Thomas Swanland b. 19
H. VI. John , fon and heir of John Savage , and Alia¬
nor his wife, grant this manor and advowfon to
John, bifhop of Bath and Wells, Thomas, fon and
heir of Richard Langford , and fon and heir-apparent
of Joan now wife of Walter Middenhull, and before
of Richard Langford and Henry Selwood, to them
and the heirs of the faid Thomas c.
Not long after it feems to have defcended to Giles
lord Daubeney , who died 23 H. VII.; and by will,
dated 19 May that year, appointed his body to be
buried in Weftminfter-abbey ; and that his feoffees
Ihould Hand feifed in his manors of Winterflow, c.
Wilts, and Crichel-Gouis, of the yearly value of
26 I. 13 s. 4d. to fuftain three priefts, to iing for his
foul, and thofe of his father and mother ; two in St.
Peter’s, Weftminfter, and one in the church of S.
Petherton, c. Somerfet, where divers of his anceftors
lay interred : each of them to have ten marks per
annum d. Henry lord Daubeney, his fon, to fulfil a
former bargain and fale between him and fir Thomas
Arundel, knt. 30 H. VIII. feoffs the faid Thomas
in fee-fimple of feveral lands in this manor, and that
of More-Crichel c. This lord Daubeney died with¬
out iffue, 30 H. VIII. and probably conveyed the
whole of this manor to fir Thomas ArundeL 7 E. VI.
this manor, inter alia , part of the pofleftions of fir
Thomas Arundel, knt. attainted, was granted to
Margaret Arundel, in which family it continued.
In 1645, lord Arundel of Wardour’s old rents of
this manor, val. 21 1. 8 s. per ann. were fequeftered.
12 and 16 Car. II. this manor and advowfon* and
tithes of blade, grain, and hay, were granted to
Henry lord Arundel . It now belongs to the right
honourable the earl of Shaftsbury , whole anceftors
feem to have purchafed it of one of the lord Arundels

Eliz. to Edward Dyer , for 60 years.
The Tything and Manor of Crichel-Lucy.
This makes the eaftetn part of the vill. It an¬
ciently belonged to the Lucys. 46 H. III. Robert
de Lucy held lands in Stubhampton-Tarente, Kir-
chel, and Uptime, and a moiety of the manor of
Tallard, and other lands, c. Wilts b. 20 E. III.
John Lucy held here half a fee, formerly held by
Alice de Lucy. This family f feems to have been
extinft foon after; for, 12 H. IV. Willielma , wife
of John Roches , chev. held the manor of Curchel
juxta Guftich St. Michael, and manors and lands,
c. Oxon, Gloucefter, Hertford, and Wilts b. After

of the church of St. Mary, late Robert Baynton’s,
were granted to George Nevil, efquire of the king’s

But about this time they feem to have forfeited" it
again ; for, 1 Mary, a moiety of this manor, parcel
of the pofleftions of Edward Baynton, knt. was
granted to Matthew Arundel , efq. in fee, after the
death of his mother, who feems to have had a grant
of it before. It now belongs to Edmund Okeden , of

one of thofe that runs, that was never fent by Chrift,

which, if Mr. Wotton be thus qualified, they refer Flenry lord Daubeney,

GUS SAGE ALL SAINTS,
Gujfiche-Regis, 1291, Zocew-Guffage, Allhallows-
Guffage,
a little vill, fituated in a vale, one mile S. E. from
Guffage St. Michael. In Domefday Book, it feems
to be furveyed with the other Guffages, and cannot
be diftinguifhed for want of an additional name. By
its ancient denomination of Guffage-Ai’gA, it feems
to have belonged to the crown, till it was given to
the nunnery of Tarenr. Imbertus Fogeys held the
manor of Gifag All Saint?, by gift of king Henry,
by fervice of one pair of gilt fpurs ; and the laid
Imbertus gave the laid land to the abbey of Tarent s.
It does not occur in the charter of confirmation
granted by H. III. a. r. 19, nor in any other charters
of that houfe, recited in the Monafticon. In 1293,
the lands of the abbefs of Tarent in Guffich were
valued at 8 I. c 48 E. III. Ihe had a patent to en¬
quire concerning malefactors in her manor of Guftich
All Saints. 2 Eliz. this manor, belonging to the
abbey of Tarent, demifed, 30 PI. VIII. to John
lord Rujfel, with 4 5 s. free rents, the fervices be¬
longing to the free and cuftomary tenants, a yearly
rent of 7 1. 15 s. 4 d. ; the farm, capital rneffuage,
and demefne lands of the manor, and palture for 200
wethers, val. 15 1. 5 s. 8 d. were granted to George
Penruddock, efq. and his heirs, to be held by the
twentieth part of a knight’s fee. 24 Eliz. the pre-
mifes were held at his death by George Penruddock,
knt. as before, val. 20 1. : and the fame year Ed¬
ward his fon had livery of his lands. In the Vifita-
tion Book for the county of Wilts about 1565, there
is a pedigree of this family, who are faid to have
defeended from Thomas Penruddock, of Arkelby,
c. Cumberland. In the fourth del'cent, a younger
brother is faid to be feated at Hall, c. Hants, and
another in Wiltfhire. How this family here were
related to either of the former, or to the prefent,
now feated at Compton-Chamberlayne, c. Wilts,
does not appear : however they did not continue here
long.
In the Vifitation Book for this county, 1623, there
is a pedigree of the Lanes of Guffage All Saints, of
whom are given four defeents ; but whether they
were lords of the manor, or leffees, is uncertain.
Not long after it came to the HafJngs of Woodlands,
and the Roys of Piddletown ; whole heir, colonel
Samuel Rolls, fold it to colonel JoJhua Churchill, fon
of William Churchill of Dorchefter, efq. who refided
here the latter part of his life, and built the houfe ;
but dying without iffue, 1720, he left it to his ne¬
phew JoJJjua, fon of John Churchill of Henbury,
efq. who now poffeffes it. In 1742 he was made
one of the commiffioners of the fait duty.
Church-Lands. In 1293, the lands of the prior
of Southampton here were valued at 75 s. 4 ft. t
5 E. IV. John Baynton , knt. at his death, held a
cottage and feven acres of land here of the prior of
Godelhowfe, c. Southampton. In the Chantry Roll
their lands here were valued at 19 1. 19 s. 1 E. VI.

Boreson, a hamlet and farm, fituated a mile S. E.
from Guffage All Saints. 37 H. VIII. lands in
Borefwain and Levcrlegh , val. 3 1. 18 s. 8d. parcel
of the priory of Monteacute, were granted inter alia
to Oliver Laurence and heirs ; who the fame year had
licence to alienate to Henry Uvedale and heirs, value as
before.
Loverleich, a little farm, which feems to have
paffed in the fame manner as Borelon.
Mannington, a farm confiding of 79 acres of
land, fubjedt to a chief rent of 17 1. 8 s. (yearly value
47 1.) was fold in chancery, 1749. 38 Eliz. lands
called Mannington, were held by John Hawles , efq.
val. 53,s. 4 d. u

lands called Daniels, in this parilh, val. 10 s. “
The Church
is dedicated to All Saints , and gives the additional
name to the vill. It confifts of a nave and chancel,
with an embattled tower not exactly in the middle of
the former. In the N. window of the chancel is a
fnield with the crofs and inftruments of the paffion.
The Rectory
was very early appropriated, and annexed as a corps
or prebend to the archdeaconry of Dorfet ; and feems,
belore the endowment of the vicarage, to have been

Part of it belonged to the church of Sarum. In
1645, the old rents of the impropriate parfonage of
Gulfage All Saints, payable by Mr. Uvedale, one
half, of 21 1. to the archdeacon of Dorfet, the other
moiety to the prebend of Sarum, were fequeftered.

The return to the commiftion, 1650, was, that
the vicarage was worth 26 1. per annum, formerly in
the gift of the archdeacon. The profits were of late
received by Mr. Billings the vicar, and two of the
parifhioners. They had been without a fettled mi-
nifter three or four years, but lately Mr. Sprint fup-
plied the cure. The tythe of Mannington, four
miles from the church, belonged to the vicarage, and
was worth 14 1. per annum. They defire an able
fettled minifter, having had trial of 16 at lead. Out
of the parfonage impropriate (belonging to Mr. Roy)
20 1. was formerly paid to the archdeacon and bilhop

NOTHING that refembles the prefent name of
this hundred occurs in the Inquifitio Gheldi.
It feems there to be called Celeb erga [f. Cereberga ,
i. e. Charborough ] for Loofeb arrow, where the hun¬
dred courts were formerly kept, hands in that parifh,
near the W. end of Charborough Down, but the
barrow now is almoft levelled. This hundred, in
former ages, was cantoned out among the numerous
lords of Sturminfter-Marfhal, and hill continues fo ;
as may be feen at large in the account of that pa¬
rifh. A fourth of Loofebarrow-courts, and a fif¬
teenth of Sturminfter courts, fines, he. belonging to
the nine lords, or divided farm, are fhared among
them into twelve parts. Sir J. Strangeway s has a fourth
part, as heir to his mother, wife of Giles Strange-
ways, knt. After and coheir of N. Wadham, efq.
Sir . Wyndbam a fourth part, as heir to his
mother, another After and coheir of Wadham. Sir
. Richards one part, as heir to his mother,
coheir to her mother, wife of Nicholas Martyn, efq.
a third After and coheir of Wadham. Sir John
Slrdngeways one part, by purchafe of Anthony
Floyer, heir to his mother, coheir to her mother,
wife of Nicholas Martin. Mr. Holbivay one part,
by purchafe from Martin White, efq. heir to his
mother j coheir to her mother, wife of Nicholas Mar¬
tin. Juftice Wyndbam one part, by purchafe from
A. wife of Thomas Broker, B. wife of Thomas
Latter! , C; wife of ... * . Toppe, daughters and co¬
heirs of their mother, wife of Ar Thomas Hamon,
knt. coheir to her mother* wife of Nicholas Martin.

This parilh Hands in a chairipain country, near the
river Winferborn, which runs through it, about a
mile N. W. from Charborough. It is not mentioned
in Domefday Book, unlefs it was furveyed under the
name of Winferborn j which perhaps was its ancient
name, as it Hands upon that river.
The manor and advowfon belonged anciently to
Shaft on abbey ; but as it does not occur in the pof-
feffionsof that monaftery in Domefday Book, it might
be given to it after that time, though when or by whom
is uncertain. Mary, abbefs of Shafton, remits . to

he "paid for the vill of Aimer, during the life of

[E] He commanded in Ireland and Flanders in the wars of king William and queen Anne; in 1714, he was made lieutenant Gene¬
ral of the ordnance, governor of Portfmouth, and Southfea-caftle ; and in 1716, general of foot, and was privy counfellor to queen Anne
and king George I.
[F] He was member of parliament for Wareham, and was buried at Charborough. See an account of his family in the
B.ironettage [4].
[G] The family of Drax feems to have been anciently feated in Yorklhire. In 1647, col. Dpix, col. Modiford, and col. Walrcnde,
and other cavaliers, having converted their eftates into money, and not being able to live in England under qhe ufurpation, retired to T5.tr-
badoes, and carried on the l'ugar works, before which little fugar was made. Colonel Drax in a few years acquired an eftate of s or
qoool. per annum, from a capital of 300 1.; and married the earl of Carlille’s daughter, then proprietor of the ifland. The principal
fettlement was on the bay on the S. W. part ot the ifland, to which he gave the name of Carlifle Bay. This eftate, or part of it, hill
remains in the family. Drax Hall, and Drax Hope, are two plantations in St. George Parirti, Barbadoes. There are feveral monuments
for this family in the church of St. Helen, in London. 3 and 4 Phil, and Mary, an ad pafled, to veld the eftate of the late Henrv
Drax, efq. deceafed, in Thomas Shatterden, gent, to whom it was devifed. Henry Shatterden, efq. his ion, by the heirefs of Erneley ,
inherited their eftates, and that of the Erles, and aftumed the name and arms of Drax. He was fteward of the prince of Wales’s manors
in this county, and 1 744 made fecretary and keeper of the privy feal to that prince : and was member for Lyme Regis, and Wareham, in
feveral parliaments.
[4] Vol. III. part I. 217 — 221.
The feat of the Drax’s, and their predeceffors, lies
in a little vale furrpunded on all fides by gently rifing
hills covered with trees, except on the N. Its prin¬
cipal front is N. E. and is built of red Hone, found
in the heath. Over the door are the arms of Eric ,
impaling Windham. It is much adorned with ftucco,
and gilding. On the ceiling of the Hair cafe, is
the judgment of Paris, in three compartments, by fir
James Thornhill. This houfe being burnt in the civil
wars, by the king’s party, was rebuilt by fir Wal¬
ter Erie ; when one of the main beams, being brought
from Corfe cafUe, fir Ralph Banks, after the Reftora-
tion, reclaimed it, but it was allowed to remain on a
valuable confideration. Henry Drax, efq. added an
apartment on the E. of the old houfe, in which he
had the honor to entertain Frederic prince of Wales,
from Auguft 31, to Sept.- 3, 1741.
Towards the W. end of Charborough Down, is a
large barrow. On opening it lately in order to
put in fome good earth for planting flowering fhrubs,
two feet deep were found two fculls, and other hu¬
man bones, not burnt.
up round the church, which is fcldom officiated in
but when the family refides here.
The Rectory
does not occur in the valor 1291. It has in a man¬
ner been impropriated by fome former lords ; for there
is no glebe, nor parfonage houfe, the rector only re¬
ceives 22 1. per annum, a rent charge on the farm.
It was formerly joined in the fame prefentation with
E. Morden, but of late .years with Aimer. The pa¬
tron is, and has been, lord of the manor. It is a
difeharged living, in Whitchurch deanry.

The Church
is dedicated to St. Mary, and fituateon a rifing ground
a little E. fromMr. Drax’s feat. It is a fmall but ancient
fabric, confifting of a chancel, and body, both tiled.
By the remains of a large arch On the S. fide of the
body, it may be fuppofed there was formerly a S.
ifle. There is no tower, bell, monument, or inferip-
tion in it. In the chancel E. window, are two coats
of arms, and in the N. and S. windows, two in each,
Windham, impaling Erie , which are probably mif-
placed bv the glazier. On a large blue ftone, is in-
feribed OJlium Sepukhri, which is the entrance into a
vault made by general Erie, in which he, his lady,
fir Edward Erneley, and lady, Henry Drax, efq. and
his lady, and others of thofe families, are interred.
On enlarging this vault, 1752, were found (two feet
under the floor) 22 pots of a redd ifh earth, 11 inches
by 9, like butter pots, all empty. They are fuppofed
to have been depofited here in the civil wars, by fir
Walter Erie, to conceal his money, plate, and writ¬
ings. Under thefe pots were found the bones of 1 1
fkeletons. The public papers mentioned, 19 jars full
of gold coin, and one half full of medals, which
was not true. Here are no marks of any enclofure
of a church yard, but human bones have been dug
The return to the commiffion 1650, was, that
the parfonage was worth 30 1. per annum, annexed to
the vicarage of Morden, worth 50 1. per ann. Mr.
Nevil Draunt, incumbent of both, fupplies the
• cures. The chapel of Charborough belongs to
Morden.

A large parifli, moftly inclofed, and confiding of ara¬
ble and pafture, lituated a mile and half S. W. from
Higher Litchet. On the S. it is all a barren heathy
common, extending from Sherford Bridge to the N.
river of Wareham, above three miles. The whole
parifli contains about 100 houfes. It feems to derive
its name from its fituation, viz. from the Saxon (Fop,
a heath, and Dune, an open level country.
In 1747, and I748> an epidemical malignant fever
raged here, and was communicated to Sturminfter-
Marfhal, Corf-Mullen, the Lichets, Bloxworth, and
other adjacent villages. In this parifli were buried
in that year 45 perfons, whereof above 30 of that
diftemper. It began in the winter 1 747 ; was at its
height from March till June 1 748, and was moft fa¬
tal to ftrong robuft perfons ; fcarce one in ten efcaping,
who were generally carried off in three days, or five
at moft. In a few hours after the firft feizure, the
patients were extremely difpirited, and feemed almoft
expiring.
In Domefday Book k this parifh is furveyed in fix
parcels, viz. Robert held Mordone of the earl of
Moriton : it confifled of one carucate, once worth
20 s. now 15 s. Aiulfus Camerarius held Mordune :
it confifled of half a carucate, worth 25 s. Fulcred, a

Very anciently the Clares earls of Gloucefter and
Hertford j and afterwards the Mortimers earls of March $
were lords paramount of this manor, as ihay be feen
in the inquifitions ot thofe families. Here feem to
have been feveral manors, as is evident from Domef-
day Book. 8 li. III. Hubert de Burgo, judiciary,
and Peter Ruffe l , held Morden and Hemelefworth '.
But this mud have been on account of fome forfei¬
ture ; for the Clavyles pofleffed it before and after.
This feems to have been the principal manor, to
which the advowfon of the church was annexed,
and was given by one of the Claviies to the priory
of Canonleigh. Walter Clavel, t. Id. II. and John,
by his charters to the priory of Canonleigh, feems to
have had feveral polfedions, c. Devon. 6 E. II.
John Clavyle held Morden cum membris for two fees,
of the earl of Glouceder. 20 E. III. John de Glan-
vile [f. Clavile J held half a frnall fee in Morden,
which John de Glanvil formerly held. 47 E. III.
John Clavel of Morden held lands in Little Kime-
rich. 17 R. II. William Clavile held at his death
one melfuage, one carucate, and 360 acres of land,
and 10 marks rent, in E. and W. Morden, of Ed¬
mund late earl of March, by knights fervice. The
faid William died in the end of the 20th year of that
reign [To anno elapfo :] John Ayflilin hiskinfman and
next heir, ret. 40 m. Thefe Claviies feem to have been
the principal branch of that family, and were extinct
here abont 1374. Smedmore, part of their eftate,
feems to have been given to a younger branch, which,
with fome interruption, continues there to this day.
15 E. I. Matilda de Loverlcy held lands in Morden
of the king in chief. 25 E. I. Richard de Loveraz
held this manor of E. Morden of the king in chief,
by fervice of paying yearly at the Exchequer 8 s. by
the hands of the Iheriff of Dorfet : Stephen his uncle
and next heir, ret. 40 ; who, 27 E. I. had livery of
this vill, held by ferjeancy de uno heberione, val. 10 1.
And that Adam de Porton held it of the king, and
alienated it to Ela de Longefpe, countefs of Sarum,
who gave it to Matilda her kinfwoman, and William
Lover as and his heirs. Richard Loveras died with¬
out ilfue n. 19 E. II. it was found not to the king’s
detriment, to grant licence to Stephen Loveraz to
feoff Ingel ram de Berenger of two parts of the moiety
of this manor, together with a third part of the faid
moiety, which James de Molyns and Margaret his
wife held in dower, of the inheritance of the faid
.Stephen ; which parts were held of the king in chief,
by fervice of the fixteenth part of a knight’s fee.
Ingelram de Berenger was feifed of them the fame
year, and gave them to Stephen, and Alice his wife,
for life, and the reverfion to J. Matravers and heirs,
by charter, 1 E. III. 0 17 E. III. Ingelram de Be¬
renger held two parts of this manor, by the fervice
mentioned 25 E. I. On his death it came to the
Matravers -
N. B. It does not appear how the Claviies part
paffed. It was probably united to that of the l.o-
verleys, Matravers, &c. The home common was
tnclofed by aft of parliament, 1768.
After this the Matravers of Lichet-Matravers pof¬
fefled it, 9 E. III. ; in which family it continued (and
received its additional name from them) till it palled
by their heirefs to the Fitz-Alans earls of Arundel.

it in fee for 1000 years, from Michaelmas laft, to
John Bowyer, of Beer, c. Somerfet, gent, paying for

Mr. Bowyer, was fequeftered. An annuity out of
this farm, payable by Mr. Edmund Bowyer, was fe¬

g R. II, John Matravers, of Hooke, held lands in
Spetsbury, Middleftreet, Great-Craford, and Little-
Craford, which feem afterwards to have defcended to
the Staffords.
Here was an alien priory of the Benedictine order,
a cell to the abbey of Preaux, who placed here fome
of their convent to take care of their concerns p.
Afterwards it feems to have been dependent on the
priory of Monks-Tofts, or part of that cell. This
priory occurs in the catalogue of BenediCline houfes
that were obliged to take protections t. R. I ; and in
1291 a penfion of tithes was paid to the prior out

2 H. V, it was annexed to Witham-abbey, where it
remained till the diflolution. Tofts-priory was granted

might be given to Witham about this time. 6 E. II,
the abbot of Pratel exchanged a moiety of a mill
here for a moiety of a virgate of land r. 1 1 E. II,
that abbot held the manors of Spettisbury and Tofts,

This part of the village lies contiguous to Spettif¬
bury on the fouth, in the middle between Spettil-
bury and Great-Craford. We have little account of
the ancient lords of this part of the vill. In latter
ages it came to the Hodys, defcended from a branch
of an ancient family in Somerfet fni re. William Hody,
efq. who built here a fmall, but elegant, feat about
the year 1735, dying without iffue 1741, it came to
his brother Edward Hody, M. D. of London, who
fold it, 1750, to the late admiral Holmes, whole exe-
tors, 1762, fold the farm, value 200 1. per annum,
with a manor annexed, to John Newton, of Stafford-
ftiire, efq. a Weft India merchant.
Great-Crawford
lies contiguous to Middleftreet on the fouth, and ex¬
tends to Crawford bridge. In Domefday Book c there
is a place mentioned called Craveford, but whether
it is this or Tarent-Crawford is uncertain. The ma¬
nor anciently belonged to the abbefs of Tarenr. Iq
1293 her lands here were valued at 15 s. u. 20
E. Ill, Alice Godewine and John Breland held half a
fee in Crawford, in Lofeburgh hundred, which John
de Monte alto formerly held. 36 E. Ill, John de
Coppedemore , of Stockenchurch, one of the coufins and
heirs of J Trelond, granted two parts of this manor,
and the advowfon of the chapel of St. James here, to
John Cottefmore, of Ewelm, and his heirs. The
fame year John de Cottefmore granted the premifles
to Bhomas Warrin, and his heirs*. 1 R. Ill, John
Hufee held here one . melluage, and one meadow of
the abbefs of Tarent, and in Charlton juxta Speightf-
bury of Nicholas Bluet. 29 H. VIII, ten meffuages
and 400 acres of land in Craford-Magna and Parva,
were held of the abbefs of Tarent by William Milburn ;
George his fon and heirm. 35 H. VIII, this manor
was granted, inter alia, ro Charles lord Montjoy, with
the capital mefluage, and pafture for 200 weathers,
all parcel of Tarent monaftery. Hence it came to

of this vill feems to belong to the hundred of Loofc-
barrow, and one of the manors of Sturminfter;,Mar-
Ihal ; a quarter part of which now, or lately be¬
longed to the lords of Crawford. Here feem to
have been more manors than one; for, 1645, Mr.
Henry Wells’s old rents here, value 1 1. 1 8 s. 8 d. per
annum, were fequeftered.
At the fouth end of this vill is a large bridge of
feven or eight arches over the Stour. It is men¬
tioned in a charter of PI. Ill, a. r. 1 9, to the abbey
of Tarent. This bridge being ruinous, forty days of

On a hill adjoining to this part of the village, ai¬
med oppolite Crawford-bridge, is an ancient tonifi¬
cation. The form of the principal work is oval.
The area is 184 paces from eall to well, 120 from
north to fouth. From eaft to north k lies open to
the parilli and river. On the N. W. is an entrance.
On the outfide of this work is another of a circular
form, eight feet high, and twenty-five by twenty on
the long and Ihort diameters,

This fmall village, a tything in Cogdean hundred,
lies on the river Stour, about a mile N. W. from
Spettisbury. Dugdale derives Charlccote in Warwick-
fhire from Ceorle , a Saxon owner. In Domefday
Book 2 we find a place called Ce rletone furveyed with
Pimpern ; but for want of an additional name, to dif-
tinguilh it from other Charltons in this county, we
cannot determine it to be this place. Here leem to
have been three manors.
The Manor belonging to Brune, &c.
William de Brune, held this. vill .29 E. I. *. Some
inquifitions only mention one meffuage and three
virgates of land held of the abbefs of Pratel : alfo
lands held of die heirs of John Bohun, of Midhurif,
in this vill; and there was libera decenna, whofe pro¬
fits in view of frank-pledge, pleas, and perquifites of
courts, held-feven times a year, were 36 s. There are
75 acres of land, two free tenants, paying 8 s. per ann.

part of this vill had fome relation to one of the ma¬
nors in Sturminfter-Marthal, of which the Bohuns of
Midhurft v/ere lords ; and there is Pill in this vill,
a tenement, or ground, called Midhurjl.
This manor, 20 E. Ill, belonged to Maurice BruiV
jun. 7 R. II, Maurice de Bruyn, granted to Wil¬
liam Ringborn and John Payne all his right in the

wife of John Blake, efq. held, at her death, the
manor of Charleton-Speytbury of .the Ting in chief,
by fervicc of one eighth of a fee; Robert de Ring-
born her heir a. 4 H. VIII, it was held by William

John Brune ; John his fon and heir e. 36 Eliz. Henry
Brune died feiled of it, value 7 1. a. How it palled
out of this family we know: not; -but’ at length it
came to Andrew Hopgood, an Italian merchant, who
died 1742, whofe heirs now poflefs it, or at leaft the
royalty of it, . for the inhabitant! are moftly free¬

geon feveral years in London, where he married two
wives with pretty confiderabie fortunes, by one of
whom he had two or three daughters, when he left
bulinels, and retired hither, and rented the ft a" of
Mr. Hopgood oppofite the church. Here he lived
feveral years in a genteel way / well refpefted by the •
neighbouring gentry. Some extravagance made hjin
Uneafy in his circumftances, which put him on en¬
deavouring to get into his hands his iaft wife’s for¬
tune, which waS veiled in truftees for the ufe of her
children ; but failing in this, the expences of the
law-fuit involved him ftill more, and his creditors
became clamorous. He was indebted 150l.ro Mr.
John Thorn, mercer In Blanford, who fried him to
an execution : but two days before, offered that
if he would go out of the country, and leave him in
poffeftion of his eftefts, he would make the moll of
them, pay himfelf, and fend him the furplus. This
realonable offer was rejected, and he fbrined the dcl-
perate refolution to deftroy himfelf and his effefts,-
and executed it. 1 he next day he fent away his
children, difeharged his fervants, and locked himfelf
up in the houfe, in which he had difpofed a large
quantity of furke, efpeciaily in his bedchamber, and
under his bed. In the morning, 20 Oft. 174k, the
Iheriffs officers befet the houfe, which foon after he
fet on fire. When the houfe was in full blaze, he ap¬
peared at his chamber window, with a piftol in each
hand, one of which was fooa after heard to go off,
and in about a quarter of 2n hour the other : with
the former he is fuppofed to have difpatched him¬
felf, and the latter difeharged itfelf at the approach
of the fire. The dwelling-houfe was entirely Con-
fumed ; the farm-houfe, barns, &c. efcaped, and had
not the weather been remarkably calm, great part of
the village mull have been deftroyed. Nothing re¬
mained of this unfortunate man, but fome of his'
bowels, part of his backbone, and one of his feet
in a ffioe. Wnen his misfortunes increafed, he drank
to excefs, and was fometimes thought to be difordered
in his fenfes.

The ChaJel of Charlton-Marfhal
Rands near the middle of the village, and confills of
a chancel, body, and ifle equal to it, all neatly ceiled :
the former tiled, and the two latter covered with
lead. The tower is pretty high, with a pinnacle at
each corner, and contains four bells and a clock.
The pews are of good wainfeot. The chancel paved
with llabs Of white and black Rone, in imitation of
marble. The altar-piece is carved, japanned, and
gilt ; on it the Lord’s prayer, creed, and ten com¬
mandments, in gold capitals on a black ground. The
pulpit is inlaid, and over the canopy an eagle gilt.
The whole was finilhed in a very elegant manner, at
the expence of near 1000 1. by Dr. Sloper , late re&or,
1715, and is one of the neateft chapels in thefe
parts.
On the north fide of the altar is a mural monu¬

is inconvenient to be annexed to any otner, here

The ancient patrons were the abbot of Pratel, the
prior of Tofts, and the abbot of Witham ; the mo¬
dern ones, the lords of the manor. In 1 >91, -this The king,
reftory of Spetcebury, with the chapel of Charleton,
was valued at 1 5 marks a penfion of the prior of
Spetcebury, in the fame, 30 s. ; another penfion to
dicto, in tythes, fix marks and a half. A compofi-
tion was made, 1460, between the prior and con¬
vent of. Witham, andi. Robert Wade, redtor.; b.y
which the prior, ,&c. were to have all the tythes, &c.
of their manor and demefnes in Spettesbury, and of
hay, meadow, and fmall tythes of the three lordfhips
in che vill of Charleton ; viz. of Robert Ryngborn,
efq. late of Maurice Brune ; of the abbefs of Tarent,
and of t,he college of Eton, late of the hofphal of
lepers ac St. Giles at Pont-Adomar. The redtor to
receive a penfion of 30 s. and all other tythes and
oblations in the parifh f. 35 H. VIII. tythes in
Charleton, parcel of Witham, were granted to Charles
lord Monjoy , and 10 Car. I. to .... Stertop , &c.
for 41 years.
The. parfonage houfe, which is one of the bed in
.the county, was built by Dr. Sloper, redtor, at the
expence of 1000 1. It is to be wondered (confidering
the many lands belonging to ecclefiaftical lords in
this parifh) that this rectory is now fo valuable-, it
being one of the belt in the county, and worth above
300 1. per annum.

It derives its orignal name, from its fituation in a
Comb or vale, and its additional one from its relation
to the abbey of Shafton.

St. Mary of Sceptesbcrie, held Hanlege it confuted of
20 carucates, worth 12 1.

20 E. III. the abbefs of Shajlon and John
de Hanleigh held here in Sexpenne Hundred, one
fourth of a knight's fee, formerly held by Walter
Haym, and John de Hanleigh. By degrees the
convent acquired all the manor, and with them
it continued till the difTolution. 1 E. V. the ma¬
nor and reftory, parcel of Shafton monaltry, were
granted to William lord St. John ; and pafture
for 400 hogs, and 600 weathers. 17 Eliz. this

1645, a rent of 40 1. per annum, paid out of Hanley
farm to fir Thomas Reynolds, recufant, by Mr.
Hooper, and Mr. Butler, was fequeftered.
In Mr. Coker’s time, it was the feat of the But -
lers, a family who feem originally to have come out
of Gloucefterfhire, but were afterwards feated in
Wiltlhire. It is uncertain whether they had this ma*
nor in fee, or held it under the Paulets.

The Chapel contains nothing remarkable. In it
was a chantry dedicated to St. Mary. In the Sarum

1314 to 1430 ; who were prefented by the preben¬

member of Ewern-Minfter, and prefentable with it.

to Hanley the chapel of Guflage St. Andrew and
Minchington, diftant from it two miles. The cure
of Guflage was fupplied by the curate of Hanley.
That the chapel of Guflage Sr. Andrew was fit to be
made a parilh church, in regard to the diftance from
that parifh, and the greatnefs of Hanley ; and that
there is a fufficient congregation for the faid chapel,
viz. the inhabitants of Guflage, Minchington, and
Dean.
Woodcotes, a fmall hamlet, fituated two miles

two hides in Gerfiz, in demefne, given to that houfe
wirh a certain nun named Elviva *, perhaps in the
Saxon times. In the Calendarium Munrrnentorum
of that houfe mention is made of a charter of Roger
de Purbtke to the abbefs concerning the manor of
Gufifach St. Andrew. This perhaps was only a grant
of fome lands here ; for Henry de Novo Burgo, by

The Chapelry of Hinton St. Mary,’
a tything in Sherborn divifion, and Sturminfter-

which probably receives its name from fome Saxon

from the dedication of its chapel, but from its rela¬

it belonged. It lies a mile and a half N. E. from
Sturmirifter-Newton. Here is a wake kept on Sc.

rental of this vill in Shafton regifter here were
eight hides and forty-two tenants. 20 E. Ill, the
abbefs of Shaflon held here half a knight’s fee. A

Frekes it came to the Fitts of Stratfield-Say. Un¬
der thefe two families a younger branch of the fa¬
mily of Frekes have been leffees ; the prefent is the
reverend John Freke of Wyke.
The feat of the Frekes ftands near the chapel. It
is an ancient building, and faid to have been a re¬
tiring place for the nuns of Shafton.
The Chapel
is an ancient building confifting of a chancel, body,
and pretty large tower. It ftands near the center of
the vill, and is officiated in once a week by the vicar
of Ewern.
anciently belonged to the abbey of Shafton, whence
it palled to Windfor college. In 1645 the impropriate
redory belonging to the dean of Windfor, value,
1641, 80 1. per annum, was fequeftered.
The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that
the impropriate parfonage was worth 43 1. per ann.^
held by Margaret Bran kef, by leafe under the church
of Windfor. The vicarage was worth tol. 10 s.
and the cure fupplied by James Crauch. They had
a decent church and burial -place.
The Chapelry of Makgaret-Marsh,
a manor and hamlet in Sturminfter-Newton hundred,
fttuated four miles N. W. from Ewern-Minfter. It
takes its name from its low and moift fttuation, and
the faint to whom its chapel is dedicated. This cha¬
pelry is not mentioned in the ancient valor, nor does
the place occur in Domefday Book, but was probably
included in the furvey of Ewern-Minfter. It anciently
belonged to Shafton abbey, and at the diffolution was
granted to the lord Sturton, and after the attainder
of Charles lord Stourton, to Robert Freke. 2 Eliz.
1645, the old rents of this manor, value 15 1. 12 s.
per annum, belonging to lord Arundel , were fequef¬
tered. In this family it ftill continues.
The Chapel is endowed with 5 1. per annum,
and is officiated in once a month. Procurations paid
to the biffiop for this chapel 1 1 d. but nothing to the
archdeacon.
The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that the
impropriate parfonage was worth 8 1. per annum, and
held by Margaret Branker by leafe from the dean,
&c. of Windfor. The vicarage is worth 5 1. per
annum, and the cure fupplied by Giles Fines. They
had a decent church and burial-place, and defired the
chapel of Eaft-Orchard might be united to them.
On a mural monument at the north fide of the
body is this infeription :

The Chapelry of East-Orchard, or Hargrove
East-Orchard,
a manor, hamlet, and tithing in Hanley hundred,
fttuated two miles S. E. from Margaret-Marfli. It
anciently belonged to the abbey of Shafton . At the
diffolution it came to the Ryves’s of Ranfton. 3 Eliz.

der whom the family of the 'Rennets were lefiees,
defeended from a younger brother of the Pytts, alias*
Bennet, who took the name of Bennet t. Jac. I. The
late Mr. Bennet bought Hargrove in fee of the lord
Arundel, parcel of the manor of Fontmel, about
1741. If now belongs to his fon William Bennet,
efq.
The Chapel is flyled the chapel of E aft- Orchard,
or Hargrove, probably on account of its vicinity to
the latter vill, for it (fends near the feat of William
Bennet, efq. and is officiated in once a month by the
vicar of Ewern.
The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that Dr.
Gillingham was vicar of Ewern- Minder, to which
mother-church belong five chapels, Elanley, Guflage,
Hinton-Mary, Margaret-Marfh, and Eaft-Orchard,
commonly called Hargrove chapel. The impropria¬
tion of Ewern-Minfter is held by Francis Fry, gent,
and is worth 22 1. per annum. Giles Fynes, clerk,
is curate of Eaft-Orchard, and receives the (alary,
5 1. The chapel for Eaft-Orchard, called Hargrove-
chapel, is three milas diftant from Ewern-Minfter
church, and adjoins next to Hargrove, and is in
diftance, each from the other, about two miles from its
parifti church of Fontmel, and they have no chapel of
their own, and fo fit to be united to Eaft-Orchard.
The Church of Ewern-Minfter,
dedicated to the Virgin Mary , is a large and hand-
fome ftrufture, confifting of a chancel, body, and
two ides, a tower ninety -fix feet high, in which are
five bells. On it is a fpire fixty-fix feet high, now
the only remarkable one in the county, fince the
fall of that at Winborn, and the demolition of that
at Shafton abbey. The third bell has this inferip-

In the chancel is a handfome marble tomb for the
late Mr. Rideout, but at prefent it has no infeription.

On a tomb in the church yard :
Mr. John Willis, mafter of Orchard fchool,
ivho died April the 23d, 1760, in the 63d year of his age,
of unblemifhed integrity,
of a moll benevolent difpofition.
By all men peculiarly beloved and efteemed ;
fo diligent in his profeffion, that ly; thereby
impaired his health and (berthed his days,
fo renowned for his exquifite and furpriling
command of hand, and (kill in penmandhip,
as well as admirable method of inftrufting youth,
that people of all ranks lent to him their Tons,
not only from London, the principal city,
and the remoteft part of this kingdom,
and from the adjacent iflands, but from Holland,
Switzerland, Nevis, Montferrat, Antigua,
Barbadoes, Carolina, and our other colonies in
America. FI is fingular abilities rendered him
fuperior to all praife,
and made his death a public lofs.
Envy be dumb, great Willis fcorns thy fpite,
Thou muft allow, that he alone could write.
Moft diftant regions celebrate his fame,
The world concurs to eternize his name.
In all things equal to the beft of men,
But had himfelf no equal with the pen.
Mr. John Willis, a native of Child-Ockford, was
one of the moft eminent writing mafters in thefe
parts, if not in the kingdom- By his own genius
and induftry he attained to fo great perfection in the
art of writing, that his written copies were equal,
if not fuperior, to thofe that were engraven on cop¬
per-plates. He had a moft happy method of inftruc-
tion ; in half an year or a year’s time many of his
fcholars wrote a very good hand, and fome who
continued longer with him, and were employed as
affiftants under him, became not much inferior to
himfelf. He kept a fchool here for writing, arith¬
metic, and fome part of the mathematics for thirty
years with great fuccefs, and had an ufher to inftrucl
luch of his fcholars who defired it in the learned lan¬
guages. His great reputation and application drew
fcholars from many parts of the Britifh dominions
to this obfeure place, by which he acquired a confi-
derable fortune.
The Rectory.
Reinwardus, the chaplain, has at Iwerne three
churches and five vifgates’of land, two at Iwerne, and
three at Preftetune, and the tithe of the provifion

hide 5 d. et de unoquoque genet, 1 daiweme amb — . and
he has the church of Hargrava ; and has there what

in it a portion of 20 s. After the reftory of Hanley
yas united to it, 1327, together with its chapels, it was
valued at fifty marks, and was then one of the bell, if
not the very heft benefice in the county. It was a
prebend in the conventual church of Shaftsbury,
alloted to one of the abbefs’s confeffors, and was in
her patronage. By an inftrument of appropriation,
14-49, this ' prebend with the chapels, was annexed
to King’s college, Cambridge1. But this feems not
to have then taken place. The Calendarium Muni-
men tor urn of Shafton mentions this very appropria¬
tion, and adds, that the abbefs had, on this account,
frank-pledge in the manor of Tyffebury with its
members.
Sept, it, 20 E. IV, 1480, the abbefs and convent
of Shafton granted the advowfon of the prebend of
this prebendal church, of which they had been poi-
feffed beyond the memory of man, and all their right
and title in it to king Edward IV. 30 Sept. 1480,
the bifhop of Sarum certifies, that king Edward IV,
for the better maintainance of the chapel of Wind-
for, gave the patronage of this prebend to the dean
and canons, and licence to appropriate it with its
chapels and members for that ufe, faving to the vi¬
car a fufficient portion, and competent penfions to the
chaplains of the chapels. The bilhop referves to
himfelf a penfion of 26 s. 8 d. ; to the dean and
chapter of Sarum, 13 s. 4 d.; to the archdeacon of
Dorfet, 6 s. 8 d. to be paid by the dean of Wind-
foru. In 1645 a chief rent of 21 1. paid out of it
by Mr, Francis Fry to the knights of Windfor was
fcqueftered.
The Vicarage
was endowed non. July, 132 1, and Roger Fulco ap¬
pointed the firft vicar n. The patron was the origi¬
nal reftor of Ewern-Minfter. After its appropria¬
tion the dean, &c. of Windfor, though the vicar was
fometimes nominated by the abbefs before the diffo-
lution. It is a difeharged living in Shafton deanry.

The return to the commiflion, 1650, was, that the
ancient value of the vicarage was 60 1. per annum,
whereof in Iwern 28 1.; the remainder was from
Hanley and Hinton-Mary, which, for fix years paft,
was detained from them. Mr. Ilgar Craford was in¬
cumbent, who received the profits of Iwern, and fup-
plied the cure. The chapels of Hanley, Guffage,
Eaft-Orchard, Margaret-Marlh, and Hinton-Mary be¬
long to this church. They had more churches and
chapels than they were able to maintain.

Here is a chapel, officiated in by the reftor of Font¬

it was a chapel of eale to the mother church of Great
Fontmel, three miles difiant, and was worth 8 1. per
annum, and an old decayed vicarage houfe belonged
to it. It had always ufed all rights and culloms be-
longing to a parifh, and: had a chapel yard. Mr. J.
Potter, reftor of Fontmel, receives the profits, and
allowed Samuel Hardaker, the curate, for his falarv
12 1. per annum, . i That the water between Fontmel!
and Weft-Orchard is impaifable great part of the
winter, and they think that the chapel fhould be
made ,a prochial church and endowed, there being
120 communicants.
The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew.

This village and tything. is fituated partly in a

HpHIS hundred does not occur in the Inquifitio
J. Gheldi. It appears in the record 20 E. III.
but no place is mentioned in it but Upwinborn, which
is no doubt Upwinborn Monktcn ; Upwinborn Mai-
maynes, or Winborn St. Giles, being placed in
Knowlton hundred. In the record t. H. VIII. it is
not mentioned ; but its members, viz. Chettle, Bove¬
ridge, Winborn-Abbas (i. e. Upwinborn-Monkton),
and Tarent-Monkton, are placed in Cranborn hun¬
dred.
In Speed’s map of Dorfet, 1610, this hundred is
placed in the northern extreme corner of the county,
diftant feveral miles W. from any of the Upwinborns.
In it is included Shafton, Gillingham, Motcomb,
Ham, Can, Twiford, and Compton- Abbas. This,
though followed in all other maps, is a great miftake ;
for Shafton was always a borough, Gillingham a li¬
berty, and Motcomb and Ham members of it. Can,
Twiford, and Compton -Abbas were and are in the
hundred of Sexpenny-Hanley. In the Villare on
the back of this map, all the vills, now parts of Up¬
winborn hundred, are faid to be in that hundred.
As Sexpenny-Hanley hundred is entirely omitted,
Upwinborn hundred feems to be fubftituted in its
room. This laft hundred, being fcattered up and down
in Cranborn hundred (of which it feems anciently to
have been a part) could not be conveniently diftin-
guifned from it. All the vills that now compofe it
belonged to the abbots of Cranborn or Teukesbury,
who very probably procured them to be united into
a liberty (which afterwards aflumed the name of an
hundred) in order to have their tenants exempted
from all fuits and fervices at the hundred courts of
Cranborn. This was the cafe of the liberty of Bin-
don, which confifted of many vills, very remote from
each other, and difperfed in feveral parts of the
county. Upwinborn-Monkton is the capital of this

a little vill, fituate twro miles N. F.. from Tarenr-
Hinton, in a pleafant champain country. In Domef-
day Book a, Aiulfus Camerarius held Ceotel. It con¬
fifted of one carucate, worth 20 s. Afterwards it
came to the abbey of Tewkesbury. The charter of
William earl of Gloucefter, fans date, teftifies, that
Radulphus de Charnel , a man of the abbot of Tevvkf-
bury, did before him at Tewksbury quit claim to an
hide of land in Ceotel, which his father formerly fold
to them ; declaring that he had given them unjuft
vexation, and that, when a youth, as heir to his fa¬
ther, he confirmed the fate, at which he was prefent.
The fame Radulphus, before him, affidavit in manu
Willielmi de Bofco , a knight of the earl’s, that he and
his heirs would warrant the faid land, and not moleft
them in it. The faid Radulphus, and William his
fon and heir, fwore on the gofpels, in the chapter-houfe
of Tewksbury, that neither they nor their heirs would
at any time vex them on account of the faid land b.
In 1293, the lands of the abbot of Tewksbury here
were valued at 8 1. c
6 Eliz. this manor and advowfon, parcel of Tewkf-
bury abbey, with the manor of Pimpern, were granted
to William Tooke and Edward Baeffi elqrs. and their
heirs. 1 7 Eliz. Baefh had licence to alienate to Thomas
Chafin, val. 19 1.
The family of Chafin came originally out of Wilt-
fhire. In the Vifitation Book for that county, 1 565,
there are fix defcents of them given. In the fecond they
are ftiled of Warminfter •, in the third, of Bulford ; in
the fourth, of Sealys Clevedon, in the parifh of
Mere in the fifth, of Mere. This branch is lately
extintft. How it was connedled with that of Chettle
I am not informed. That family was originally
fcated at Folke in this county, but removed hither
about 1600.

This place affumes its principal name from the
river Tarent, on which it Hands, and its additional
one from its being part of the poffeftions of the abbey
of Cranborn or Teuksbury. it is fituated about two
miles N. E. from Tarent-Rulhton.
In Domefday Book °, the abbey of Cranborn held
Tarenie. It confided of eight carucates, and had
been worth 12 1. now 10 1.
After this it came to the abbey of Teukesbury , when
Cranborn was made a cell to it. By a charter of
endowment [ordmatio~\ of the church of St. Mary
in the abbey of Tewksbury, Giraldus the abbot, at
a manor, chapelrv, tything, and hamlet, in Blandford
divifion, and Pimpern hundred, fituated about a
mile N. from Tarent-Monkton, probably takes its ad¬
ditional name from fome Saxon or Norman poffefior.
in Domeiday Book the church of the Holy
Trinity of Caen in Normandy held Tar eats. It
confided of eight carucates, once worth 1 1 1. now
14 1. T his nunnery was of the Benediftine order,
and founded oy Maud, queen of William the Con¬
queror. King E. II. a. r. 17. confirms the donations
of Will. I. and king Henry, to the abbey of the Holy
Trinity de Cauorno inter alia the manor of Tarenta u.
In 1293, the lands of the abbefs of Cham, i. e Caen

with France x. On the diflblution of the alien prio¬
ries, this manor feems to have devolved to the crown,
when it was given to Thomas duke of Gloucejler , who
forfeited it 2 1 R. II.
19 H. VI. a patent was granted to Henry , cardinal-
bifhop of Winter, and his heirs, the manor of Ta¬
rent- Lanllon, parcel of the polTefiions of the abbels
de Cadamo. 21 H. VI. the bilhop had licence to
him and his heirs to affign it to the hofpital of St.
Crofs juxta Winton, by virtue of which he by char¬
ter 24 H. VI. gave it to Thomas Forejl, mailer of the
laid hofpital, who, 34 H. VI. grantt^l it to William
kifhop of Wmion , and his heirs. He feems to have
re-conveyed it to the hofpital ; for it belonged to
it 6 E IV. y Soon afterwards it fell to the crown f
for 7 E. IV. it was granted to Chrijlopher Worfeley ,
tfq. 10, 11 E. IV. Chriftopher Worleley, at his
death held this manor of Tarent-Launcellon, by
O grant of the king, 7 E. IV, held in chief by fervice
of on^ twentieth of a fee •, John his fon and heir,
aet. 2 z. But this feems to have been a grant only
for a term •, for 1 and 4 H. VII. this manor of Ta-
r-ent-Lawynfton or Launcelton, which Chriftopher
Worfeley held of king E. IV. was granted for
term of life, to Samp fon Norton , and his heirs.
9 H. VIII. this manor, which Sampfon Norton held
for life of king H. VII. was granted to James Worfe-
ley, valet of the king’s robes, and bis heirs male. 8
Eliz. Richard Worfeley, efq. at his death held this
manor, 12 melfuages, four cottages, and 1640 acres
of land, of Cecily dutchefs of York, as of the manor
of Cranborn, in free focage, and by rent of four
bufhels of rye, or 6 s. John his fon and heir, aet. 3. z
T. Eliz. this manor feems to have been held by the
Uvedales •, for 22 Eliz. Henry Uvedale had licence to
alienate it to Thomas blannam , &c. 31 Eliz. it was
granted to William Tipper , &c. and 4 Car. I. to Henry
Mil dm ay, knt.
But during part of tbis^time, it feems to have be¬
longed to a family named Harvey. 36 H. VI. Wil¬
liam Harvey, of this place, is charged*2ol. for goods.
In the Vifuation Book, 1623, there is a pedigree of
four defeents given of this family, the firfb of them
is faid to have come out of the North, the three laft
are ftyled of Tarent Launcefton. How this manor
paffed afterwards we are not informed.
Here is a chapel of eafe, ferved once a month.
Two bells were ftolen out of the tower 1710. It was
taken down 1762.
The return to the com million 1650, was, that the
parilh was heretofore united to Tarent-Monkton, the
vicar whereof ferved the cure here. Mr. Giles Strange¬
way has the impropriation, and his predecelTors near
30 years paft •, value 80 1. per annum. They had no
incumbent, nor had the cure been ferved for three
years paft.
The Church of Tarent-Monkton contains no¬
thing remarkable. •
The Rectory.
King Henry I. by charter dated 1 106, recited in
a patent 10 H. IV. mentions the tythe of Tarent
belonging to Teukefbury abbey. Roger bilhop of
Sarum, by charter dated 1 109, confirms inter alia the
fythe of 1 a rent, cf Robert de biaia, the gife of
Robert Fitx Ha-mon, and his k. nigh rs. In 1291 this
redloVy, with the chapel annexed, was valued at 30
mirks. 7 R. II. it was found not to the king’s
detriment to g'raht leave to the abbot and convent,
to appropriate' the church of Tarent Monachorum,
with tire chapel annexed to them, and their fucceffors
for evera, but the appropriation was not compieated
till 13 April, 1430 b. 38 H. VIII. this redcory, ad-
vowfon of the vicarage and the chapel annexed, the
feite and capital meffuage of the redlnry, belonging
to the abby of Tewkesbury, and a portion of tythes be¬
longing to the priory of Cranborn, were granted, with
the manor, &c. of Blox'worth, to Richard Savage , and
George, Strangeways, gents, and their heirs, for 640 1.

The HUNDRED of
WINBORN
St. GILES.
Tythings.
Winborn St. Giles. West-Woodyates.
THIS hundred Teems to be a modern one, but
when it was firlt erected does not appear. Ic
does not occur in the records, 20 E. III. and t. H.
VIII. in which Upwinborn- Malmaines is included in
Knowlton hundred •, and thus it is placed in Speed’s
map, 1610, which is followed by all other maps *,
nor is any mention made of this hundred. It now
belongs to the earl of Shaftsbury.
WINBORN St. GILES*
Upwinborn, Upwinborn -Malroayncs, Upwinborn-Pkcy,
a fmall parilh, capital of an hundred to which it gives
name, fituate on the river Allen, two miles S. W.
from Cranborn. It does not Teem to derive its ori¬
ginal name, Up-Winborn, from any refemblance to
the etymology of Winborn-Minfter, but rather from
its higher and more elevated fituation. It takes its
modern additional name from the dedication of its
church, and its more ancient ones from its former
lords the Malmaynes and Plecys. It lies in an open
champain country, in a chalky foil, and contains
about 3000 acres, and 50 families.
Maurice, fon of Maurice Wheler, was born here.
He entered at New-Inn-Ha!I, 1664, aet. 16; be¬
came B. A. and petty-canon or chaplain of Chrilt-
church, 1667 * M. A. and rector of St. Ebb’s, Ox¬
ford, 1670* and afterwards reftor of Sibbetoft, c.
Northampton, and mailer of the college free-fchool in
Gloucelter. He wrote the Oxford Almanack for
the year 1673, in octavo, of which near 30000 were
fold, with a Iheet almanack. But it hindering the
fale of other almanacks, the fociety of bookfellers in
London bought off the copy for the future * fo that
only a Iheet almanack, printed on a copper-plate,
was publifhed yearly, under that title, by the cura¬
tors of the prefs at Oxford \
In Domeiday Book, this place cannot be diftin-
guifhed from Opewinburne and the Winburns. 55
H. III. Robert de Tranchefoil held one hide in Upwin-
born, in locage, of Boger Quincy, earl of Winton.
But before, and in the time of E. 1. this manor be¬
longed to the Malmaines , a family of which we have
very little account, feated in Hamplhire. From this
family it came, as Mr. Coker fays, to Robert de Plecy}
or PleJetis , fon of fir Hugh, brother or near relation
to John de Pielfetis, earl of Warwick in right of
his wife, filter of Thomas earl of Warwick.
Sir Robert Plelfy, or Plecy, 19 E. I. held this
manor of Upwinborn. 29 E. I. Robert, or, as fome
copies call him, Richard, held of the earl of Glou¬
celter, by fervice of one knight’s fee, this manor of
Upwinborn-Malmaynes, by the law of England, as
of the inheritance of Elena his wife : John his fon
and heir, tet. 2 1 b. Thefe two inquifitions appear to
relate to the fame peffon, who might die 19 E. I.
and the latter inquifition have been found after¬
wards, upon fome difpute, which was often done.
Sir John Plelfy, 7 E. II. at his death, held this ma¬
nor as before *, and one carucate of land, &c. in
Kinltanton * and 8 s. 4 d. rent, ilfuing from three
free tenants, at Charlton-Camvil, c. Somerfet : Ed¬
mund his fon and heir, set. 28 b. Sir Edmund Plelfy,
1 E. III. held at his death two parts of the manor
of Upwinborn, with a third part, which Ida, wife
of John de Plecy, father of the faid Edmund, held,
in dower, of Elizabeth de Burgo, as of her manor of
Pimpern. He alfo held jointly with Matilda his wife,
two parts of the manor of Kinltanton : Nicholas his
fon and heir, aet. 9 b. 20 E. III. the tenants of
John de Plecy held in Upwinborn-Malmaynes, in
Cnolton hundred, half a knight’s fee, formerly held
by John de Plecy. Sir Nicholas de Plecy, at his
death, 31 E. III. held this mianor, and 30 acres of
land here, jointly with Joan his wife, of the lady
Burgh, as of the honor of Leicelter * and 20 s. yearly
rent in Charleton-Camvil : John his fon and next
heir, tet. 10 b. 36 E. III. Nicholas, fon and heir
of Nicholas de Plecy, lent, a minor in the kino’s
cultody, held this manor at his death, of Lionel the
king’s fon, as of his manor of Cranborn ; the manor
of Kinltanton, and 24 s. yearly rent in Charlton-
Camvil: Joan his filter and heir b. There was ano¬
ther branch of this family feated at Shapwick.
22 R. II. and 3 H. Vi. the earls of March held
one fee in Upwinborn St. Giles, Wareham, and Pim¬
pern, which Giles de Pielfetis [f. Hamelyrij] held

Hundred of W I'N B O R N St. GILES.
The family of Aflfiey came originally out of Wilc-
ihire, where they were lords of a manor called Afhley.
Mr. Cok^ d fays, “ That Robert, the firft of the
family feated here, was defcended by a younger branch
from a noble and ancient family, and from him iffued
knights of the bell rank.” His grandfon Hugh held
at his death, to H. VII. this manor and advowfon,
of the king in chief, as of his manor of Cranborn :
Henry his l'on and* heir e. Hugh’s great-grandfon An¬
thony was knighted* at the taking of Cadiz, 159^,
where he ferved as lecretary at war. He was created
baronet 3 July, 1-62*2, and was fecretary to the privy-
council t. Jac. I. He fijrft brought cabbages into
England from Holland. Mr. Coker fays, “ He
lately new built the parifh church here, and adjoining
to u a rank of convenient alms-houfes, which it is
now to be hoped he will furnifh with inhabitants and
allowance fo that he does not feem to have com¬
pleted it. He died 1628. His heirefs brought his
e ft ate to the Coopers of Rmckburn.
Sir .Anthony AJhley Cooper , ion of fir John Cooper,
and Anne, heirefs of Afhley, was born here, 22
Julv, 1621, and, on the death of his father, fuc-
ceeded to an effate of 8000 1. per annum. In 1636,
he became fellow-commoner of Exeter College, Ox¬
ford but removed thence to Grays Inn, and dudied
the law. In 1640, on the breaking out of the re¬
bellion, he railed a regiment for the king. In 1641,
he was made governor of Waymouth ; but foon after
removed to make way for colonel William Afhburn-
ham. In 1642, he was Iheriff for this county. Be¬
ing difgufled, he went over to the parliament party,
to which he adhered till towards the end of the ufur-
pation, when he engaged in meafures for bringing
about the relloration. The committee of fequeftra-
tion obliged him to pay 500 1. for delinquency, that
is, for having been loyal. In 1660, he was created
baron Afhley, of WinbornSr. Giles ; 1667, appointed
lord lieutenant of this county. In 1671, he was created
baron Cooper of Paulet; 1 67 2, earl of Shaftsbury ; and
the lame year lord high chancellor. In 1673, he re-
figned the feals, and was foon after fent to the Tower,
and imprifoned there 13 months. In 1681, he was
again committed to the Tower for high-treafon, but
was foon let at liberty. In 1683, he retired to Am-
dfirdam, where he died, Jan. 22, that year. His
corps was brought over and interred here. He was
an eminent datefman and politician, and was one of
the famous cabinet-council called the Cabal, t. Car. IF.
and accufed of being the author or promoter of the
moll unpopular meafures in that reign. His adlions
may be feen at large in the hitlories of this nation,
and his character has- been drawn by lord Clarendon
and bifhop Burner.
Anthony his fon fucceeded him, and died i6qq;
as did at Naples Anthony his ion, author of the
Charafteridics f. His fon Anthony , the late earl, mar¬
ried, iff, Sufanna, filler of Bapufl earl of Gainsbo¬
rough, by whom he had no iffue : 2dly, 1759, Mary,
fecond daughter of Jacob lord Fblkdone, by whom
he has iffue two fons and one daughter. In 1734,
he was made lord-lieutenant of this county, in the
room of the duke of Bolton, and died 1771.

and whofe fervice his delight.
Having received and diffufed happinefs,
he departed this life,

WES T-W OODYATES,
Odiete, Wudiet, Woodzate , Wocdgate.
Anciently a manor, and diftindt parifh, which claims
to be extraparochial, now reduced to a farm houfe,
lying near the borders of Wilts and Hants, two miles
N. E. from Hanley, and a mile W. from E. Wood-
yates. It feems to derive its name from fome re¬
markable gate in a wood ; this being formerly a much
more woody country than at prefent.
This place cannot be the Odiete mentioned in
Domefday Book ", then the land of the abbot of
Glafton, and part of the inheritance of the de Lin-
colnia’s, and Fitzpains ; whereas this belonged to the
abby of Parent before 19 H. III. which was prior to the
cxtindtion of thefe families. But the two Woodyates
having rarely in ancient times been diftinguifhed by
their fituation, or the names of their pofleflbrs, occa-
fions fome confufion, and this place may in
S T.
Domefday Book be included in fome neigh¬
bouring place. It feems however pretty evi lent that
it anciently belonged to the lords of the lame name
for a charter 19 H. III. reciting and confirming
the donations to the abbey of Tarenr, founded not
long before 1230, mentions the manor of Wudiet
given to it by William de Wudiet, and fome lands
here given by Kaynel de Wudiet, and 21 acres of
land, and the homage, &c. of William de Chyric),
and Stephen de Wudiet: and Kaynel Fitz Reginald,
gave half an hide of land in the lordfhip of Wudiet,
and pafture for 100 Iheep, and 10 averia ■, and Ru¬
dolph Bret, the homage, relief's, wards, &c. of lands
which David Conyngas held in Wudiet. William
Wudiet,- one of this family, was tallager of Doric t,
19 H. III. 0 In 1293, the lands of the abbefs of
Tarent at Woodgate were valued at iol. 9 s.' ^d. ?
8 E. III. fhe had a patent to enquire concerning
malefadtors in this, and other of her manors.
15 R. II. John Denabaud at his death held three
parts of this manor, viz. one third of the abbefs of
Tarent, as of her manor of -Woodeyet, by knights
fervice, one third of John Hamelyn, chev. as of his
manor of Upwinborn All- Saints, and one third of
John Fitz-Richard, as of his manor of Pentrich,. by
knights fervice, and all lands in Wodeyat, and Pen-
trich feoffed : alfo the manor of Hinton St. Georor,
and lands, See. c. Somerfet : John his ion and heir,
set. 18. 1
On the Diftblution 36 H. VIII. the manors of
Woodyates, and Guflich St. Andrew1-, and the rec¬
tory and advowfon of Woodyates, belonging to the
abby of Tarent, were granted to Henry Langford .
3 E. VI. Henry Langford, at his death, held the
lame: William his fon and heir ^ ; who, 6 E. VI.
had livery of thofe lands. 30 Eliz. the manor, rec¬

A little N. E. from Woodyates Inn, Grime ditch or
Roccoli ditch crofies the Roman road, and parts
this county from Wilts and Hants s. This name is
fometimes but improperly given to the Roman way.
The great number of Barrows on the Downs, near
this place has led Mr. Aubrey into a fingular conjec¬
ture. He fays, “ that Weftward of the rampart and
“ ditch near W. Woodyates has been a terrible fight.
“ There are, but a little within the line, 19 barrows,
“ and fome of them very large. Here are alfo two
“ or three circular trenches, with a tump or two,
“ which in all probability, were palces pro combujlione
** cadaverum. There are many barrows between this
“ and Pentridge, and in the chafe is a coppice called
“ Barrow Coppicet One may plainly fee here, the
“ chafe of the vidlory was Weftward. I have ob-
te ferved at leaft loo barrows fpatfim on the Downs,
“ and in the enclofures, from Woodyates towards
u Blanford •, and from thence to Dorchefter feveral.

“ Romans and Boadicia, it agrees fo well with the
“ defer iptiori of Tacitus l, where the entrance [fau-
“ ces | as a throat was narrow, but grew broader 10-
“ wards the (even ditches [at Cafhmore] in the man-
“ ner of a thrure, on a gently riling ground, that
“ lias a view of the flat towards Vv'oodyates, where
“ the brunt of the fight was, and perhaps here was
the ftation of Boadicia. The throat [fauces] is
“ between BLigdun-Hill on the S. (on which is feme
“ fieri of an hafty and impeded fortification), and
“ Ci anborn-Ciiafe. on the N. Dion lays many were
killed in a wood. So great a daughter 1 never
“ found, nor heard of in England. Bolton in his
“ Nero Caslar imagines this fight to have been on
“ Salisbury Plain (where indeed is the fign of a great
‘l (laughter, but not fo great as here) and fuppofes
tc Grovely Wood, near Stonehenge, to have been the
“ wood mentioned by D:on, where are feveral bar-
“ rows; and N. from Grovely is Wily bourn, a
“ mar 111, and a great unfordabic river between11.”
The author of Nero Ccefar, p. 161, 162, fays,
“ The battle was fought on a plain, at lead; five or
“ fix miles over in breadth, between two woods at
“ either end of the open plain.” He adds, “ one
“ imagines it was on Salisbury Plain: Spencer, near
“ the Severn. Near Stonehenge are four great camps,
“ Wily, and Yanesbury caftle, double ones ; Dun-
“ fliot and Woldsbury, fingle ones: though Vefpafian
“ might be the author of Yanesbury, or of the others,
“ yet Suetonius Paulinos might make ufe of one of
“ them upon this occafion.”
Thus we fee feveral authors have fixed this battle
at places equally difirant, from the place affigned by
.Tacitus; who makes EfTex, Middlelex, and Norfolk
to have been the principal feat of the war, at lead: in
the beginning or it. It might have been afterwards
more extenfive. And as Boadicia commanded the
confederate army of the Britons, we cannot wonder
to find her in a county fo remote from the Iceni, of
whom die was queen.
Whether a fimilitude of places be lufficient to ef-
tablidi Mr. Aubrey’s opinion, I leave to the learned to
determine. Certain it is, the great number of barrows
in this part of the country, the great rampart and
ditch near Woody aces, the Roman way palling by it,
1 Annal. XIV. c. 34. 37. See alio Vir-. Agric. c. 14 — 17.
C urioj. p, 1 So. There is. a plate of it in his Stonehenge, p. 6. pi. 4.
the many ramparts and ditches at Cafhmore, and be¬
yond, it extending even to Tarenc Hinton, are very
remarkable. So many traces of antiquity cannot but
induce us to think that here was a feene of fume greac
adion.
The revenge that Boadicia took of the Romans
was fo fevere, that Mr. Aubrey adds that Mr. Chril-
topher Wafe informed him that in the Irifn Tefla-
ment, Rom. xii. 19, vengeance is rendered in Irifh by
the word boadice.
About a mile S. W. from the end of Woodvates
lane at the firft and mod: confiderable group of Cel¬
tic barrows is a convincing- evidence of the Roman
roads being made fince the barrows. The line of di-
redion of the Roman road necedarily carried it over
part of one of thefe tumuli, and foine of the mate¬
rials of the road are dug out of it. This has two
little tumps in the centre x.
Here is a imail hunting feat belonging to the lords
London-Derry, where they fometimes redded.
The Church
or chapel was a fmali fabric, covered with
lead, and had one bell in a wooden turret. It
was officiated in by the redor of Pentridge about
1650, fince which it was negleded, and the ruins of
it pulled down about 1744.

The LIBERTY of GILLINGHAM.
T Y T H INGS.
Gillingham-Major, or Bourton.
the Town Tything. Milton, and Preston.
Gillingham-Minor, or Motcomp.
the Free Tything.
r-yiHIS liberty always belonged to the lords of
1 the manor for which a coroner is elected.
The tything of Gillingham-Major, or the
Town Tything, is compofed of the town of Gilling¬
ham, Bugly, Langham, and Huntingford. It in¬
cludes alfo the foreft, and is of large extent.
The law Jilver is collected in this tything only from
24 eftates, according to an ancient roll. They pay 2 d.
each, and are all obliged to find a tything man in
•their turns. The inhabitants are moftly copyholders,
•who hold their lands in fee fnnple by copy of court
roll, and owe fuitand fervice to the court. But fome
hold by other tenures. There are fome freeholders
that are not either of Milton, Preflon, Magefton or
Ham, but within the manor of Gillingham, and part
of this tything, 'who pay at death the beft horfe,
with bridle and faddle as an herriot to the lord.
The Town of Gillingham
is one of the larged parifhes in this county, and by a
furvey has been found to be 41 miles in circumfer¬
ence, and, by geometrical computation, to contain
64000 acres. It lies in the mod Northern extremity
of the county, near the borders of Wilts and So-
merfet, four miles N. W. from Shaftfbury. Dr.
Skinner derives the name of this place, from the
Anglo-Saxon tfyllan, to make a. nolle like a rapid
- torrent, perhaps the nature of this river, or the mil¬
ling of the leaves in the fored in windy weather.
This being a deep enclofcd country, it confids chiefly
of padure for grazing, and the dairies : weaving of
linen is the only manufaflure carried on here.
Two fairs are held here, on Sept. 1, O. S. and on
Trinity Monday.
The fird mention we find of this place is in the
Saxon Chronicle, A. D. 1016, on account of the bat¬
tle fought between Edmund lronfide, and Canute, at
Peon na, or Penn, c. Somerfet, near Gillinga , or Gil¬
lingham. This aftion happened fo near this place,
that fome lefs exafl hidorians ltile it the battle of
Gillingham; in which the Danes were entirely de¬
feated a. The purfuit probably extended into this pa-
ridi, where is a gate dill called Slaughter Gate.
Here are very remarkable pits,. where the field of
battle is fuppofed to have been : they are very nu¬
merous and regular, made for offence and defence ;
fome for the main body, fome for the advanced guards."
Tradition fays they were made by Canute, which
is confirmed by an old Mf. in the hands of Mr. Big-
gen, one of the lords of the manor. Cenwal king of
Weffex, 356 years before (A. D. 658) fought the Bri¬
tons at Peonne, a place fatal to that people and the
Danes, as Mr. Camden obferves b.
Mahnfbury c mentions a council held at Gilling¬
ham 1041, in which Edward the ConfeiTor was chofen
king. It was really a grand council of the realm :
but the generality of our hifforians place it with
more probability at London, or in the environs
thereof
A. D. 1036, iElfred, fon of king Ethelred, and
brother of Edward the Confeffor, came out of Nor¬
mandy, to afTert his right to the crown, as fome fay,
or, as others, to vifit his mother. He landed, as'
fome, at Sandwich, or as others, at Southampton,
and advanced to Canterbury, where earl Godwin
met him, and accompanied him to Guildford in Surry.
There in the night he cauled moft of his followers to
be maffacred, feized on iElfred, carried him to Lon¬
don, and delivered him to king Harold, who ordered
his eyes to be put out, and then fent him to confine¬
ment in the monaftery of Ely, where he foon after
died, and was buried. Malmlbury'1 and Brompton c
fay, this mafiacre was tranfafted at Gillingham, which
mull; have been at a place of the fame name near
Chatham in Kent, in or near the road from Sand-
whrch and Canterbury to London, as our Gilling¬
ham was very remote from the rout which JElfretl
Was obliged to take. Lambard was of this opinion
in which he follows Thomas Rudborn, and the au¬
thor of the Chronicle of Coventry, who fay Cilling-
ham juxta ‘Thamefm.

cendant, John. Nicholas, efq. dying 1742, his daugh¬

There is ftill preferved in the parifti an old MS.
which has been often copied, called the Cujlom of the
Manor, divided into 15 heads or feflions, fetting
forth the rights of the lords and tenants. By this it
appears, that the tenants claim by the court rolls,
by ufe and prefeription ; that a widow ought on her
hufband’s death to befummoned into court, and if fhe
do not come, and claim upon that fummons, the
bayliff muft diftrain on her goods. A tenant may make
a leafe of 99 years in poffeflion, and another of 60
years in reversion, and both good by the cuftom, under
no rent. The tenant of any cuftomary lands may
furrender in court before the fteward, or out of
court before a tithing-man, and tw.o or more tenants,
or in any other perfons name, in the place of a tything-
man. The manner of admitting perfons into eftates,
held of the manor is thus. The fteward, bayliff, and
cryer, being met, proclamation is made for any who
will be effoigned, or enter any plea to come in, while
the conrt fits, or not to be received, and all muft
anfwer to their names at the firft call. If it is by
furrender out of court, the perfon to be admitted
delivers the furrender into court, and the fteward,
after reading the fame, and examining the witneffes,
admits him by the delivery of a glove. If it is not
by furrender of court, the perfon furrendering, as
well as the perfon to be admitted, comes into court,
and the fteward fays to the tenants, “ You are to
“ take notice, that to this court comes A. B. who
“ doth hold to him, and his heirs in fee, for ever, ac-
“ cording to the cuftom of this manor, one meffuage,
“ lying in be.” Then the perfon furrendering repeats
after the fteward, “ I, A. B. do furrender and yield
<c up into the hands of the lord of the manor, all
“ and fingular the before mentioned premifes, with
“ their appurtenances, to hold of him and his heirs
“ in fee for ever, according to the cuftom of the faicj
a manor ; and in token thereof, I deliver this glove.’*
He then delivers the glove to the fteward, who deli¬
vers it to the perfon to be admitted, and repeats thefe
words, “ I do give feizin of thefe lands, to hold to
“ you and your heirs in fee, for ever, according to
“ the cuftom of this manor, under the yearly rent of
" - , and all other rents, duties, and fervices, as are
“ therefore due ; and for the eftate fo held you fhall

prefent 2 d. and if admitted more than once, the like

of his lands paying ioj. 6 d. and enters the fur-
renders in the court-book, and enrolls the fame.
Thefe copyholders pay at death, or alienation, the
beft rother bead, or horfe ; but if a perfon alienates
only part of his lands, no herriot is due. They
cannot grant leafes for above 99 years, without the
lord’s licence. A perfon refident within the liberty,
may be fued in this court for a debt under 40 /.
but if he be a tenant, he mud firft be fummoned to

pearance, an attachment iffues. In the field called
6’cw/^-field, and Colemarjh , the arable land is valued at
no more than id. 3 d. 4 d. $d. or 6d. per acre : and
when the North-field is common for all men ac-
cuftomed, then the South-field may be eared and fown,
and the lands faid to be meadow, and to be mown,
are fet at $d. or 6d. an acre: but the time when
this valuation was made is not mentioned. Cumber
mead, or, as it is commonly called now, Common mead,
is a large meadow, where feveral perfons have lands,
lying intermixed with each other ; it is always
mowed, and they feed the grafs in common. It con¬
tains 152 acres and 3 roods, of which 6 acres is
glebe, belonging to the vicarage. New mead was
formerly taken from the upper part of Common mead,
on which feparation, the owners or occupiers are ex¬
cluded from the priviledge of feeding the after-grafs
there.
In this book is a charter of (^Elizabeth, exempting
the town from foreign procelfes, writs, tolls, and cuftoms.

roll, paying a fine certain, viz. the double of one
vear’s rent, on every defeent, or furrender; which by
this decree is confirmed to the tenants, having firlt paid
into the exchequer 500 .£. in confideration thereof.

now little higher than the area it indoles. This
area, in which the houfe flood, is 320 feet long, and
240 broad. The foundations are .ft ill to be leen,
though not a flone of it is left. It was built in one
corner of the area, about 20 feet from the rampart,
in form of the letter L; the length of the. body of
the letter, is 186 feet, by 80; the foot of the letter
is 48 by 40. The area of the houfe contained id>8oo

the perpetual maintaining a fchool-mafter in this town,
for the inflruftion of youth in good literature; and
by the commiflion for charitable ufes, 40 Eliz. it was
decreed, among other things, that 20 marks yearly, of
the rents of the parilh lands, fliould be employed to
maintain a fchool-mafter, to teach the children gratis.
The eleeftion or removal of him, fliall be. by the
feoffees, with the advice and confent of the vicar.
Dr. Davenant augmented it, 1680, with 5 1. per
annum: Mr. Chriftopher Ellmond, 1698, with 8 1.
per annum. This fchool was formerly in good re¬
pute. In the great rebellion, it was full of the fens of
loyal gentlemen. Lord chancellor Clarendon had
part of his education here ; and it was the firft pre¬
ferment of Dr. Frampton, afterwards bifhop of
Gloucefter.
Here is a work-houfe, towards providing and fur-
nilhing of which, Mr. Alfop left 100 1. to be paid by
his executors, which was done before 1739.
Here are two bridges in the town, called Barnaby
and Laden bridges. Two fmall rivulets called Laden
and Shreen-water rife near it.
On Tuefday June 19, 1694, about, three in the
afternoon, a fire happened here, which, in the brief
granted on that occafion, is faid to have confirmed in
three hours 40 houfes containing 54 families, with
barns, ftables, &c. The damage was computed at
3900 1. .
Charles Gildon, gent, fon of Richard Giidon, gent,
was born and educated here, from whence he removed
to Doway, in order to be made a prieft ; but quitted
the fuperftitions of the church of Rome, and ran into
the other extreme of infidelity and deifm. He was
author of feveral poetical^ and deiftical trafls, and
died 1723.

On the right fide of the former is a grave ftone

The return to the commifiion 1650, was, that
Motcomb has been reputed a chapel, to the mother
church of Gillingham two miles diftant, and the
tithes belonging to it are 100 1. per annum. That
there is a vicarage houfe in the chapel yard. That it
had time out of mind ufed all rights and cuftoms be¬
longing to a parifh. Thomas Andrews officiated
here, who was fettled by the committee of the county ;
had been refident here four years, and received for
his falary 60 1. per ann. and Dr. Davenant the re-
fidue, who formerly preached here quarterly, but of
latter years not at all. The chapel is well fituated,
for a parochial church, near the midft of the parifh,
two miles from Gillingham, and in winter the roads
impaflable for water: that there were 500 commu¬
nicants here. There is a prebend, part in Motcomb,
and part in Gillingham, leafed out for lives on a rent
of 54 1. per annum, befides the Stours, whither the
prebend extends, which, when the leafe is expired,
may be an addition to other places.
The Chapelries of East and West-Stour, be¬

Stour, and Stour Proved, were held in chief by ... .
EJlmond , and . Car ant , with licence to alienate

But it is not eafy to reconcile thefe records, with¬
out fuppofing (which is very probable) that the earl
of Southampton had a grant of both thefe Stours,
and alienated Eaft Sa:our to Newman, and Weft Stour
to Nicholas.
After this it feems to have pafled to the Webbs and
Crooks. 1645 J°hn Crook efquire’s eftate, at Eaft
Stour, value 1641 was 100 1. per annum fequeftered.
George, fon of John Jollyff, gent, was born here.
He entered at Wadham college 1636, and 1638
removed to Pembroke college. In 1643 proceeded
A. M. being then a lieutenant under lord Hopton.
He afterwards entered on the phyfic line, and dif-
covered the lymphedudts. He became M. D. at
Clare hall, Cambridge, and read anatomy lectures
on the vafa lymphatica in the College of Phyficians,
which gained him much reputation and pradtice.
He lived at Garlick hithe, London, and was buried in

The return to the commiffion 1650, was, that
they had a parfonage and glebe, being an impropria¬
tion in the pofieffion of Mr. Coles and Hooper, by
leafe from the late prebend of Sarum. Value of the
parfonage 14 1. per annum; of the glebe 20 1. per
annum, which is in the pofieflibn of Mr. Richard
Jolly if, See. The vicarage belongs to the vicar of
Gillingham, and is worth 33 1. per annum. It is
fupplied, and alfo Weft Stour, by Peter Blanchard,
who receives the profits for the vicar, and hath for
fupplying the cures 30 1. per annum. There is a
chapel in both places, and they are nor fit to be united.
Eaft Stour is two miles from Gillingham ; and the
two chapels of Eaft and Weft Stour are a mile dif-
tant ; and there is a great river that often overflows,
whereby there is no convenient paffage from one place
to another.
In this chapel feems anciently to have been a
chantry; for 28 Eliz. 10 acres of arable and divers
meadows in Eaft Stour, parcel of the late chantry
there, were granted to Edward Reed, &c. and their
heirs.
In the chapel yard is a prodigious large yew tree ;
under which it is faid 1500 men can Hand. The
body is four feet high ; its circumference 24 feet.
The IS. E. limb 10 feet in circumference fpreads
from the body 39 feet ; the W. limb, 20 feet nine
inches in circumference ; the N. W. limb fix feet
four inches in circumference fpreads 37 feet; the W,
limb nine feet four inches in circumference ; the W.
by S. W. limb 10 feet in circumference fpreads 42
feet; the S. E. limb fix feet four inches in circum¬
ference fpreads 44 feet. The heighth of the whole
41 feet.
At Eaft-Stour farm is a very large locuft tree * ; the
body oi which is eight feet high, and 10 feet 6 inches
in circumference. The height of the tree is 53 feet.
In the middle of the body grows an elder tree, 24
feet high, which at the bottom is 24 inches in cir¬
cumference.
The Chapelry of West-Stour, or Westover.
A manor, tithyng, and village, fituated on the
W. fide of the river Stour, one mile N. W. from
E. Stour.
The manor anciently belonged to xEeably of Shaf-
ion , perhaps from its firft foundation, and after the
diflolution partly to the fame lords as E. Stour.

which 28 Eliz. was granted to Edward Read, &c. and
their heirs.
William Wratfon, M. D. fon of William Watfon,
was born here. Lie entered at Trinity College Ox¬
ford 1683, cec. 18, and foon after removed to St.
Mary-Hali, where he was a gentleman commoner, and
became A. B. 1687, A. M. 1690, M. B. 1695, and
M. D. 1699. He ftudied divinity, law, and atlaft:

to him from all parts of the county, to whom he pre-
feribed at the moderate fee of 1 s. each ; and, though
a regular-bred phyfician, he pradtifed as a quack.
Little-kingtox, a farm lying a little N. W. from
Weft Stour, feems anciently to have belonged to the
lords of Great-Kington. 20 E. III. John de Sandhull
held here in Rydelane hundred half a fee, formerly
held by Alan Plukenot. 1 E. IV. Alexander Hody , knt.
held at his death the manor of Kington- parva, of
Henry Lord Fitzhugh ; 12 1. yearly rent out of the

lands here were pad from the earl of Southampton to
. . . . Newman alias Everard. 13 Jac. I. this manor
and demelnes were granted to John Hody.
The chapel of w. stour contains nothing worth
notice. By the Kalendarium Munimentorum of Shaf¬
ton Abby, the vicar of Gillingham was obliged to fay
matins and vefpers in this chapel. In this chapel yard
is another remarkable yew tree, the body of which is
3 feet high : its circumference 21 feet: the W. limb
is 12 feet 6 inches in circumference, and fpreads from
the body 27 feet : the S. limb is 8 feet in circumfer¬
ence, and fpreads 35 feet : the S. E. limb is 1 1 feet
in circumference, and fpreads 34 feet: the height of
the whole 38 feet : the bench round the body is 9 feet
6 inches.
The return to the commiffion 1650 was nearly the
fame as for E. Stour, that the impropriator was the
fame, and a leflee to the prebend of Sarum. The va¬
lue of the parfonage was worth 33 1. per annum : of
the glebe 20 1. in pofleflion of Edward Amy, by leafe
from the impropriators. The value of the vicarage
was 17 1. per ann. The cure was fupplied by P. Blan¬
chard before mentioned. It is 2 miles diftant from

Dr. Thomas JelTop was Fellow of Merton College,
admitted M. D. 1 569 x. He was a benefajftor to that
college by increaling the ftipend of the portionifts or
poftmafters. He Teems to have contributed to his
brother’s building at the vicarage, as both their
names are in the parlour at length above the wain-
fcot, and the initial capital letters of their name in
the fretwork of the ceiling. . . .
John jeffop, B. D. his brother, built great part of
the vicarage houfe, viz. the .great parlour and rooms
over it, and made an aqueduft in the garden to lup-
ply the houfe with water.
Thefe two gentlemen feem to have been fons of

The church of Gillingham
is a royal peculiar in Shafton deanry. The official
claims no power at E.and W. Stour, but in the reft
of the pari lH has archidiaconal jurifdiction. He
grants licence for marriages, probate of wills in his
jurifdi&ion, and vilits once a year. The mandate
for induction of a vicar is directed to him.
This church was dedicated to the B. Virgin Maryland
is a large ancient fabric, confiding of a body and two
illes of equal height, a chancel, a chapel adjoining to it,
and a high tower, in which are 6 mufical bells, a clock
and chimes. The great bell v/as given, as tradition
fays, by Thomas Butt of this parifh, yeoman. The
nave is 54 feet long and 22 wide, and the roof fup-
ported by 4 pillars. The chancel is 48 feet long,
21 broad, and 20 high to the eaves. The N. ifle is
53 feet long and 15 broad. The S. ifle is 54 feet long
and 18 broad. The tower is 63 feet high, and about
15 by 14 in the infide. Here was anciently an organ,
but demolifhed in the civil wars by Wallers fol-
diers.

On the wall of the belfry or ringing loft is this
memorandum,
“ The porch new built, the lead thereof new cad,
*e the church and the veftry repared, 1617. The
“ tower raifed 21 feet, the dial, ringing loft, and the
“ king’s arms made, by the gift of feveral, 1618.”
In this church (perhaps in the chapel adjoining to
the chancel) was anciently a chantry, flyled, “ The
“ perpetual chantry at the altar of St. Katherine
“ the virgin, m the church of Gillingham.” 4 E. III.
it was found not to the king’s detriment, to grant
licence to John de Sandhull, to give one meffuage, 58
acres of land,- and pafture for fix oxen, and one
heifer in Gillingham and Milton, to a chaplain,
to celebrate divine fervice in the church of St. Mary
de Gillingham, every day for ever. There remained
to the faid John one meffuage, 1 1 2 acres of land and
40 s. rent in Gillingham, held of Ifabel, queen of
England, as of that manor ?. 22 R. II. it was found
riot to the king’s detriment, to grant licence to John
Bettejhorne to give one meffuage and 85 acres of
land in Gillingham and Milton, to the chaplain of the
Chantry of St. Catherine here^. 1 E. VI. this
chantry in the church of Gillingham was valued at
61. 14 s. 4 d. out of which were paid rents refolute
of IIS. z.
4 and 5 E. VI. this chantry, and lands in Gilling¬
ham, Milton, Cumber mead, and Silton, were granted,
at their petition, to the governors of the town and
fchool of Sherborn.
In the Sarum regifters is a lift of 21 priefts or
chaplains of this chantry, from the year 1333 to 1541.
They were prefented by the Sandhulls, Bettefhorns,
and the Berkleys of Beverfton, and their heirs. The
laft chantry prieft was Galfrid Gyll, who, after the
diffolution of the chantry, enjoyed a penfion of 5 1.
per annum 1553.
Here was alfo a fraternity, to which belonged lands
at Hannington, c. Wilts, and Motcomb. In the
chantry roll, 1 E. VI. it was valued at 4 1. 10 s.
Richard Dornell incumbent. N. B. The lands be¬
longing to Sherborn fchool are Hill called chantry
lands, and are held by three lives, and a widowhood
under a referved rent, and by copy of the feoffees of
the faid fchool, who keep a yearly court at the
Chantry Houfe, according to their cuftom. The lands
are valued at 4^ 1. per annum. The iaft life has the

The Rectory or Prebend.
We find in Domefday Book, that William the
Conqueror gave the church of St. Mary of Gelinge-
ham, with its appendage, worth 40 s. to the abby of
Shafton, in lieu of one hide of land; in the manor
of Kingfton, in the parifli of Corf caftle, then be¬
longing to that monaftery, on which he built the
caftle of Wareham. Hence it became a prebendal
church to the abby, and was fettled as a ftipend on
one of the abbefs’s chaplains, or confeffors. In 1449
it was appropriated to the abby by bilhop Aifcot, and
no doubt was fo long before ; for in the ordination of
the vicarage 1319, made by bifhop Mortival, it is
ftiled the prebendal church of the abby of Shafton •, fo
that bifhop Aifcot feems only to have confirmed
a more ancient appropriation, and made fome new
regulations. 6 EI. 1278, Nicholas de Crainford,
then reftor, complained to the king in parliament,
by a petition, Quod cum for eft a domini regis ibidem
Jit a fit infra parochiam fuam, quod dominus rex decimam
feeni , venationis , pannagii, & aliorum proventaum ip-
ftus for eft i£ de gratia & pro falute aninue fu<£, & animarum
predecejforum fuorum , ecclefuz fues cui dejure ccmmuni de¬
bent ur, plene folvi pracipiat , fecundum formam fupplica-
tionis £5? exhortationis apoflolica porrebiam domino regi apud
Gillingham , quando fuit ibi ad Natale a. What luccefs
this petition met with does not appear. I fhali only
obferve, that though Mr. Selden produces this re¬
cord, as a proof that the parochial right of tithes was
not every w'here fettled in this reign ; yet it is certain
that they were fettled many ages before.
In 1 292 this reriory, w ith the chapels annexed, were
valued at 30 1. 36 H. VIII. 12 November, the
advowfon of the reftory or prebend was granted to
lord Wriothejly ; and 29 April following, to John
earl of Oxford , w'ho the fame year had licence to alie¬
nate it to Edward earl of Hertford , and his heirs.
But 37 H. VIII. he exchanged it with the crown, for
the prebend of Ramfbury, c. Wilts, by virtue of an
act of parliament. Eliz. a . converted ic
into two prebends in the church of Salisbury, ftyled
Gillingham Major and Minor , in the. room of two
alienated prebends, Ramsbury and Axford. In 1737
the appropriated tythes of Gillingham, Motcomb,
and E. and W. Stour, were purchafed by John Ful¬

The Vicarage
was endowed 3 Id. Dec. 1319, by bifhop Mor-
tival ; who reciting, that William de Handlo, late
prebend of this prebendal church, in the monaftry of
Shafton, had prefented William de Clyve, of Moc-
comb, presbyter, to this vicarage, when it ffiould be
endowed, at the inftance of Richard de Luftefhull,
prebendary, and the laid vicar: ordains that the vicar
fhould have an houfe near the church of Gillingham,
formerly belonging to the redtor, and affigns an houfe
at Motcomb, for the prieft officiating in that chapel :
and another at Eftover, for the prieft officiating, and
conftantly refiding there : and another at Weftover,
for the prieft officiating, in that chapel, fome days in
the week. That the vicar of Gillingham ffiould have
the tythes of hay, in the king’s demefne meadows, in
the pariffi ; and if changed into any other kind of
agriculture, the tithes of the produdt — and together
with the compofition money \decima pecuniaria\ ac-
cuftomed, fhall have the tithe of hay in all the vills
of the pariffi, and all fmall tithes, and the tithes of
chircheffiutes, mortuaries, and the altarage. Heffiall
have at Motcomb all fmall tithes, chircheffiutes, and
offerings at the altar : at Eftover and Weftover an an¬
nual penfion of 2 s. out of the chapel of Eftover, all
the fmall tythes and offerings at the altars of thole
chapels : the vicar to provide books, veftments, and
other ornaments, wax candles, and other lights, and
pay the procurations for the church and chapels to
the biffiop and archdeacon (to which anciently the
prebendary was obliged J and all other ordinary and
extraordinary burdens. Inftitution is given by the
biffiop of Briftol ; the mandate for indu&ion is di¬
rected to the official of the peculiar. On the endow¬
ment of the vicarage, the advowfon of it was fettled
on the prebendary •, but afterwards was granted to the
abbel's ofShalton, by king Henry VII. when he fettled
the manor on his queen, for part of her jointure, about
the time of the appropriation of the prebend, 1442.
The vicar when refident keeps two curates, one at
Motcomb, the other at the two Stours. The vicarage
is worth, after curates are paid, 150 1. per annum.
The patron before the Reformation, was the prebend,
or redor ; and fince, the biffiop of Salisbury, pro¬
bably appointed by queen Elizabeth, when the rec¬
tory was converted into two prebends in that ca¬
thedral.

The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that
here were two prebends, part in Gillingham, part in
Motcomb, and part, in E. and W. Stour, in leafe to
Mr. Hooper and Cole, for their lives; out of which
is referved 54 1. per annum; but the true value is
400 1. per annum; which, on the expiration of the
leafe, may be an addition to the Stours, &c. and at
prefent, the referved rent may be addded to Gilling¬
ham. Dr. Davenant was vicar ; his vicarage worth
40 1. per annum, which he receives, but acknow¬
ledges himfelf unable to difcharge this fervice, by
reafon of his infirmities. Samuel Forward fupplies
the cure, and has a falary of 20 1. per annum. — That
Motcomb chapei, two miles from Gillingham church,
was fit to be a pariffi church of itfelf. — That Milton
parfonage was Mr. Chriftopher Dirdoe’s, and worth
30 1. per annum ; to which belongs a chapel, now
decayed, diftant from Gillingham church a mile,
and fit to be made a pariffi church for Milton.
Mr. Dirdo had the tithes of Milton and Prefton.
That Silton, worth 100 1. per annum, is fit to have
Bourton hamlet, four miles from Gillingham church,
united to it, on account of its nearnefs.

* Edward Davenant, D. D. vicar here, was born at
London, and educated at Queens college, Cambridge.
He was nephew to Dr. Davenant, bifhop of Salif-
bury, and attended him to the Synod of Dort, after
which he was collated to the prebend of Ilfracomb
in the church of Sarum, 1623 he was alfo pre¬
bendary of Chute and Chefingbury, and archdeacon
of Berks, both which he refigned 1635, when he
was made treafurer of Sarum y. In 1619, he was
incorporated M. A. at Oxford, and collated to this
vicarage. In 1625, when he had a difpenfation to
hold the reftory of Poulfhot, c. Wilts, with it z, but
afterwards refigned it, and was than B. D. During
the civil wars, he was fequeftered, his houfe plun¬
dered, and his library, worth 1000 1. feized by a
party of Wallers foldiers, which he redeemed3. He
was allowed to continue here, and it is laid was only
deprived of the chapels belonging to his church, out
of regard to his uncle, who was an eminent calvi-
nift. But it is certain he was fucceedcd here by one
Thomas Andrews, who had been organift at War-
minfter: and the regifler mentions one John Pannel,
who officiated here 1657. At the Reftoration he was
reftored to his preferments, made D. D. and died
1 679 b. He was a very learned man •, and and it ap¬
pears by the life and letters of archbifhop Ufher, that
he affifted that great prelate in his chronology, by
calculating the eclipfes that happened fince the crea¬
tion. Dr. Wallis makes honourable mention of him

His daughter Catharine 1663 to Dr. Lamplugh, after¬
wards archbifhop of York.
** John Craig, collated by Bilhop Hoadly
to the prebend of Gillingham, was an inoffenfive
virtuous man, mailer of a good Latin & Rile, an
excellent mathematician, and efteemed by fir Ifaac
Newton. Many years before his death he re-
fided in London, expefting to have been taken
notice of for his mathematical abilities, but died there
in a mean condition, Oft. it, 1731. He publilhed
1 . Theologice Chriftianm Principia Mathematica, 1 69 5,
more ingenious than orthodox. 2. De Curvilineis.
3 . De Calculo Fluentium, 1718: and was author of fe-
veral papers in the Philofophical Tranfaftions, parti¬
cularly in N° 333, an account of a monftrous calf,
calved here.
J William Newton was born at Maidllone in
Kent; was vicar of Weft-Hythe, and had, 1719, the
donative of Stodma fli, and afterwards that of Wing-
ham, in Kent. . e repaired the vicarage houfe,
which was much dftapidated, and publilhed a Com¬
panion for the Lord’s day, 1716: Several defences
of the bilhop of Bangor’s fermon : The life of his pa¬
tron Dr. Kennet, bilhop of Peterborough, 1730 : The
Hiftory of Maidftone, 1741, 8vo. and fome other re¬
ligious trafts. I am obliged to this gentleman for the
greateft part of the modern account of this place.
In the vicarage houfe is a library containing near
600 volumes, given by Thomas Freke, efq. for the
ufe of the vicars.
Here is an ancient charity, called The Parijh, or
Free -Lands, the donor and time of the donation un¬
known. Its original defign is faid to be for the per¬
petual maintaining in the town a fchoolmafter, for the
inftruftion of youth, repairing the church, relieving
and bringing up orphans, poor people, and prifo-
ners, and maintaining highways, caufeways, and
bridges. It amounts, including what is paid to the
fchoolmafter, to 60 or 70 1. per ann. which ufed for¬
merly to be diftributed by the feoffees, on a petition
from neceffitous people in the parilh, in what porportions
they judged proper. But the rents are now left in ar¬
rears with the poor tenants, and the poor injured by
abufes and neglefts.
From fome old deeds it appears thefe lands were
alienated or concealed, under pretence that they were
given to fuperftitious ufes. But 40 Eliz. a commiftion
of charitable ufes was iflued, for better fetling the
lands, and afcertaining their ufes, direfted to, and ex¬
ecuted by, fir George Trenchard, kt . James,
LL. D. chancellor of Briftol, Thomas Freke, efq. &c.
On which a decree was made 41 Eliz. that the lands
Ihould be reftored to their former ufes, and veiled in
Thomas Jelfop, efq. M. D. William Webb, William
Willoughby, efqrs. Chriftopher Dirdoe, and about
eight or ten more ; and that when the number of
feoffees are reduced to eight, they lhall choofe fome
new ones. That the vicar, the conftable of Gilling¬
ham, and the conftable of Motcomb, lhall give their
confent to any thing done by the feoffees, before it
lhall have full effeft. That lands lhall be let, and
accounts paffed, by the perfons beforementioned.
There is another charity, called The Poors Allot¬
ment, by which the poor belonging to the manor,
i. e. cottagers who had no land, had formerly a pri¬
vilege under certain limitations of feeding cattle in
the foreft. Upon the inclofure, the lord, as a recom-
pence for that privilege, affigned to every poor cot¬
tager a certain fum iffuing out of the land in the
foreft let by the lord, to be paid yearly. The cuf-
tom has been 1 3 groats, more or lefs ; and when any
poor inhabitant died it was difpofed of to another.
It is payable by the fteward of the manor out of the
rent of the faid lands appropriated for that ufe.
Benefactions to this parilh.
Mr. Tinney left 100 1. to the poor of the parilh,
to be difpofed of according to the direftions of his
will.
Mrs. Frances Dirdo , who died 1733, left 100 1« to
the poor of Gillingham, the intereft to be diftributed
yearly on St. Thomas’s day. Rebecca her filler, who
died July, 1738, left 100 1. to be diftributed among
the poor, and 10 guineas to the vicar, or him who
ferved the cure, for a fermon to be preached yearly
in July, for 10 years, in remembrance of her.

THIS hundred occurs in the Inqiiifitio Gheldi,

to Lord Dighy.
Stourton-CaUdel, Qandtl-Haddon.
This little vill, which received its additional de¬
nomination from its ancient lords, the Haddohs and
Stourtons, is fitUated two miles N. E. from Bifhops-
Candel. In Domefday-Book, it cannot be diftin-
guilhed from the other Candels, or Candeles , which
are furveyed in parcels.
The moft: ancient lord that we find of this, was,
John do Haddon. 34 E. I. Hen . de Hadden, had a
charter of free warren here, and in Lidlinch \ 22
E. III. his fon Henry held at his death the manor of
Candel-Haddone, and one carucate of land here, of
John Matravers, jum the manor and advowfon of
Upcern, and lands in Charminfler, Yateminfter, and
Staplebrigdge : alfo with Alianor his wife furviv-
ing, the manors of Putney, &c. c. Somerfet, by
grant of John de Haddone : Amicia, wife of
William Fitzwarren, his daughter and heir, ter. 25 b.
35 E. III. Alianor wife of Henry Haddon, at her
death, held the premifes as before : alfo lands in An¬
tioch, and Remfbury, for term of life ; Amicia,
daughter of the faid Alianor and Henry, whom Wil¬
liam Fitzwarren married, her next heir. The fame
year William Fitzwarren , and 2 H. V. lvo, or John
Fitzwarren, held it of the Arundels, fucceflbrs of the
Matravers. By the heirefs of the laft Fitzwarren, it
came to the Chidiocks . John Chidiock, 28 FI. VI.
and Catharine, his wife, 1 E. IV. held it of the earl
of Arundel.
20 H. VI. Ralph Bujhe , efq. at his death, held the
manor of Candel-Haddon, of William earl of Arundel,
ratione dominii fui de Matravers ; the manor of Winter-
born Kingfton ; a moiety of the manor of tJpcerne ;
the manors of Antioch, Blakelond, and Remmef-
bere, and 307 acres of land in Candel-Haddon, An¬
tioch, Blakelond, Remmesbere, Sherbom, Stal¬
bridge, Wefton-Abbatis, Woburn, and Thornfor'd ;
the manors of Putney and Werne, c. Sotheriet :
the reverfion of Putney and Werne, and of the faid
lands in Candel Haddon, Antioch, &c. after the death
of the faid Ralph, belongs to John Chidiock, and
Catharine his wife; Robert Wtftbury, heir of the
faid Ralph. He feems to have been a leifee under
the Fitzwarrens and Chidiocks.
By the co-heirefs of the Chidiocks, it came to lord
Stourton, In a fubfidy roll t. H. VIII. lord Stourton,

Henry Haddon, kt. and Alice his wife, had licence to

3 E. VI. John Williams, jun. at. his death, and 11
Eliz. Robert Williams , at his death held here a mef-
fuage, and ninety acres of land, of the lord Stourton,
as of his manor of Candel-Haddon b.
Here was formerly a caftle, or feat of the lords cf
the manor. Mr. Coker d fays, “ John de Haddon had
“ a little caftle here. Sir Wiliiam Stourton maintained
“ the old caftle, for a removing houfe.” The anony¬
mous author of a MS. Defcription of fome phees in
Dorfet, 1579 % fays, “ It was built by the Chidi¬
ocks, or Sturtons ;” but it is moft probable, they
only rebuilt or repaired it. It feems to have been a
jointure houfe of the Stourtons, as fome of their
widows formerly refided here, t. H. VIII. and t. Eliz.
It is new ruinated, and a chapel belonging to it turned
into a barn.
Woodrow’, a tything and hamlet belonging to
this parifli, anciently belonged to the Stourtons , and
perhaps to their predeceflors. In a fubfidy roll, t.

belonged anciently to the priory of Ivy church ,
Ederofe , or Wy church , c. Wilts, given, as the ano¬
nymous author fays, by the Chidiocks. In 1291, it
was valued at fix marks, and out of it the priory had
a portion of five marks ; fo that it.. was in a manner
appropriated to that houfe ; and as no vicarage ap¬
pears to have been endowed, it was probably ferved
by a ftipendiary prieft. No inftitution to it occurs
in the Sarum Regifters, nor does it appear in the
modern valor. In bifhop Bechamp’s R.egifter, vol. II.
p. 1. there is a compofition between the prior of
Elederofe, and the lubdean of Sarum, concerning this
church. 16 Eliz. this reftory belonging to the priory
of Ivychurch was granted to John Walker for 21 years,
paying 4 1. 23. 4d. per annum. In this patent it is
mentioned, that 25 H. VIII. Richard then prior de-
mifed it to William lord Stourton , for 51 years. 33
Eliz. it was granted to Arthur Swain , &c. 39 Eliz.
it was held by James Hanham, efq. at his death

STALBRIDGE
is a large parifh, fituated at the extrerhity of the
N. part of the country, on the borders of Somer-
fetfhire, four miles from the banks of the river
Cale, which, according to Hollingfhead, rifes at
Pen, paffes by Wincaunton, Kington, and the five
bridges, and falls into the Stour near this parilh.
In Domefday Book h Staplebridge belonged to the
abby of Shcrborn. It confifted of 16 carucates, and
was worth 12I. In 1293 the abbot of Sherborn’s
lands here were valued at 20 1. 8s. 4ft. * 20

The whole town, and mod of the parifh, is upon

quantities of Hone for building, &c.
In the middle of the town is an ancient crofs, 22 feet
high, and including the bafe, 30 feet. At the top is

STOKE-GAYLARD,
or Coylard , vulgo Stock.
A fmall village fituated three miles N. from Pul-
ham, which derives its principal name from the Saxon
word Sfcocce, a ftock, or log, (which implies plenty
of wood, or that this fpot was a foreft, or the re¬
mains of one, in the Saxon age), and its additional
one from the Coylards, its ancient lords, a family of
which we have little account befides their bare name,
of which its prefent additional name feems to be a
corruption.
In Domefday Book c Stoches was held by Hugh,
of William de Ow : it confifted of three carucates,
worth 50 s. This land Toni held in mortgage
T. Pv. E. of the land of Scireburne. There are
eight places or parcels of land furveyed in Domefday
Book b'y the name of Stoches or Stoke, fome of
which cannot be alcertained ; but the relation this'
bore to Sherborn, and its being placed next one of
the Candeles feems to diftinguilh it.
32 E. I. Ingclramus le Waleys held at hi's death a
tenement in Stoke, or Stokely-bard, or as fome Mf.
the manor of atok e-Kerbard, in chief of John Matra-
vers, by fervice of half a knight’s fee •, and there is
a capital meffuage, 80 acres of land, &c. one free te¬
nant, and one cottager. Lie alfo held the manor of
Langeton : John his fon and heir f. He was alfo lord
of Langton-Walleys in Purbeck, where fee more of
him and his defeendants : but this vill feems to have
been the place of his principal relidence. 9 E. II.
John le Waljhe had licence to feoff two carucates of
land in Stoke Coylard, and the manor of Langeton g.
1 R. II. Roger Walijh held at his death 49 E. III. the
manor of Stoke-Coylard* by knights fervice, of John
Arundel, kt. as of his manor of Litchet-Matravers-;
the manor of Langton, in Purbeck, and the manor of
E. Chickerel ; Joan daughter of John le Waliftt,

Pc. II. John , fon and heir of Roger Walfhe, held at

Hence it paffed, as the Sarum regifters fay, to John

THIS hundred anciently belonged to the abbot
of Glajlonbury , and fince the Diffolution, to the
lords of the manor.
B UC K LAN D-AB BAS,
alias NEWTON
is a very large parifh, gives name to the hun¬
dred, and is htuated about four miles N. E. from
Cerne-Abbas. It derives its name, according to Sir
Robert Atkins, from the tenure of its Land, by deed
in writing, anciently called Bockland, i. e. Book-land ;
as other land, not fo held, yvas called Folkland , as
having no other evidence, but the teftimony of the
folk, i. e. people ; or as Sir Henry Chauncey, land
free and hereditary paifed by livery and feizin. It
receives the name of Buckland Abbas, from its be¬
longing to the abby of Glajlonbury , and that of
Buckland-iVrw/ow, from its being built or inhabited
later than foine other neighbouring vill.
It is near five miles long, and two broad. The S.
and hilly part is moftly arable land, and pafture for
Iheep; but the lower part is ufed for grazing and
dairies, and is much inclofed. Being part of
the foreft of Blakemore, it was very woody, but moft
of the timber is now deflroyed. The value of the
lands in this parifh, according to the poor rates,
is 2919 1. at the rate of id. to every 10 1. In 1293,
the lands of the abbot of Glaflon in Buckland and
Plufh were rated at 41 1. a
24 11. III. a fair was granted here; 42 H. III. a
market and fair. Here is a wake kept on Hilary day ;
and near the church is a parifh houfe appropriated to
that purpofe, once furnifhed with many utenfils for
celebrating ir. The profits were partly applied to
repair the houfe, buy new furniture, and partly to
the relief of fome poor family, yearly appointed to
keep it. At Braughing and Therfield, c. Hertford,
was an old houfe furnifhed with utenfils for the ufe
of weddings : the company brought provifions. There
6 Geo. II. an acf palled for enclofing the common
fields and grounds, in the tythings of Buckland -New-
ton, Mintern-parva, and Knoll, in this parifh.
John of Glaftonbury in his hiftory de Rebus Glaf-
toniens. p. 42. fays that king Ethelwolf gave Boc-
land five hides to the abby of Glaftonbury : but
p. 43. he fays that Elfleda, widow of king Edward the
Elder, gave Bockland, Plis, and Acford, 27 hides, to
that abby. Her gift was confirmed by king Athelftan
and king Edmund the firft, who was a great bene¬
factor to it. William of Malmfbury in his Antiqui¬
ties of Glaftonbury fays the fame.
In Domefday-book b the church of St. Mary of
Glajlingberie held Bochelandc ; it confifted of 24
carucates : the demefnes of the church were worth
20 1. ; the lands of the free-men 61. 10 s. In after
ages this manor with its members gelded in fervitio
regis 13 hides ab antiquo , befides eight ca¬
rucates of land in demefne, belonging to the abbot
of Glaflon, that never gelded c; of which five hides
geldata are in his demefne ab antiquo. The knights
[rnilites~] held ten hides, and three virgates,’ though
they gelded only for ten hides ab antiquo ; whereof
Duntifhe and Hermmyngefwelle gelded for feven
hides, one virgate and an half. This account of the
manor, as well as that of Sturminfter-Newton, Marn-
hull, and other manors belonging to the abby of
Glaftonbury, in this county, is given from an original

20 E. III. the abbot held here three knights
fees and half. This manor, as well as feveral others,
was appropriated to the ufe of the abbot, who had
particular eftates annexed to his dignity, feparate
from thofe which were common to the whole body.
Accordingly when Savaric, bifnop of Bath and Wells,
united that abbacy to the fee, this manor, and the.
advowfon of the reftory, part of the corps of the
abby, fell into the pofleflion of that bifliop, and con¬
tinued till the time of bifliop Joceline, who fuc-
ceeded Savaric 1 204. But the monks of Glafton-
bury, uneafy at this union, by which they faw
themfelves deprived of feveral confiderable eftates,
did all they could to get it diffolved. They- made
feveral unfuccefsful attempts in the life-time of
Savaric. At his deceafe, they renewed their ap¬
plication to the pope-, but were put off with this
excufe, that no innovation ought to be made in the
bifhopric, during the vacancy : but reviving their
fuit after Joceline was made bifhop, they met with
better fuccefs; for king Henry III, the queen,
and feveral of the great men, favouring the monks
petition, and the pope likewife appearing inclinable
to their fide, bifhop Joceline, after a long druggie,
and a great expence, was forced at laft to yield to an
accommodation on the following terms, viz. that
the abby (liould be entirely di funked from the
bifhopric, faving only the right of ordinary and pa¬
tron ; and that the monks fhould be reftorecl to their
ancient government under an abbot, whom they
fhould have liberty to choofe for themfelves, by a
licence from the bifliop for that pnrpofe. In return
for this conceflion, the bifliop obtained the following
advantageous article for himfelf, that he and his
fucceffors fhould keep the manor of Bokland, in Dor-
fetfhire ; of Wynefcumbe, Blackford, Cranmere, and
Mere, in Somerfetfhire ; of Pucklechurch, in Glou-
cefterflfire; of Afhbury, in Berkfhire; of Kinton,
Chrift-Malford, and Bad bury, in Wiltfliire with the
advowfons of their feveral churches, all which were
formerly the poflefllons of the abbot of Glaftonbury.
By this compofition, which was confirmed by
pope Innocent III. the manor and advowlbn of
Buckland became veiled in the bifliop ;• but this Lift
article was too advantageous on the biftiop’s fide for
the monks to fit down long" quietly under it. They
were uneafy to part with fo many eftates, and thought
they had bought their privileges too dear, and there¬
fore were very importunate for a new compofition,
which they obtained by the interpofition pf the ab¬
bot of Reading, the popes commifiioner for tfiat pur-
pofe.
The new compofition was ratified by a definitive
fentence in the apoft'oliq chamber, by which the ma¬
nor of Mere, the advowfon of the church, and the
manors of Buckland, Kinton, Chrifi-Malford, Bad-
bury, and Afhbury, wrnre all reftored to the convent,
and only the advowfons of the church of Bockland,
Chrift-Malford, and Afhbury were referved tq the
bilhop. Dat. 16 June, .1218 d.
8 E. I. this manor, &c, was granted to the abbot fc,
This feerns to be a confirmation of the former agree¬
ment. ■

by the attainder of John earl of Wiltlhire, which mull be a miftake, as he never had any concern in them. But fir Nicholas had his
ellate regranted him by patent, 6 E. IV. yet, 2 R. III. this manor and demefnes which belonged to Nicholas Latimer on his attainder,
were granted by patent to John Wroughton, John Newburgh, and John Mordaunt, and their heirs [5]. He ieems to have been

made kt. banneret at the battle of Teuklbury, and died 1505.
His only daughter Edith, married fir John Mordant, kt. who died 1504. and was father to John, firfi lord Mordant. But Mr. Coker [6]
fays, “ That hr Nicholas left two other daughters, one of whom married . Crukern of . the other . Halle of
“ Devon, who had but a fmall portion of his ellate for their part:” and indeed they had none, nor could have any right to any; for
Mr. Prince, in his worthies of Devon, [7] exprelsly lays they were heirelfes of the Latimers of Tittleford, fo that Mr. Coker has
confounded thefe two families together. .
In a MS. in the Bridlh Mufeum [8], is an account of the defendants of fir Nicholas Latimer, of Duntiih, which gives thefe particular
of his daughters : ill, Edith married firif to .John Green of Stotfield c. Bedford, by whom (he had two daughters ; remarried to Hr John
Mordaunt. 2d, Elizabeth married to William Apprece of Walhingley c. Huntingdon. In the Vifitation book for Huntingdonlhire,
1613, it is faid that William Appreceof Walhingley in that county firfi fettled here out of Wales, t. H. VIII. and married Elizabeth
daughter oF Robert Latimer, of Duntiih, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of . Hamwel t. fi. VI. whole pofierity remained at
Vhdhingley 1 752. They quarter on their tombs, and in the hall at Wafhingley, the arms of Latimer, viz. G. a crofs patonce O. with a
crefcent A. for difference, which excepting the difference, are quartered, on the monument of Lewis lord Mordaunt at Turvey,
c. Northampton. It is evident that Edith was foie daughter and heir to fir Nicholas Latimer, and brought all his efiates into the Mordant
family. Sir Nicholas Latimer of Duntiih, married Joann'a Hody : Elizabeth the lady of Apprece, mull have been daughter and coheirefs
of Lafimer of Titleford ; for Apprece does not appear to have had any concern in the efiates of Latimer of Duntiih ; and the arms
of Latimer quartered by Apprece belong to the Tittleford family, and thole quartered by lord Mordant to Latimer of Duntifh. It is
to be lamented that there is no pedigree of the Latimers of Titletordmxtant.

In 1 6 45, Thomas Barnes’s eftate here, value
1641, 150I. per annum, was fequeftered. He com¬
pounded for 304 1. This family poffeffed it till about
167,4, not long after which it Was purchafed by Hr
W inf on Churchill , whofe fon John the famous duke
of Marlborough, fold it 1713, to Walter Foy of
Bewley Wood, gent.
The Foys ot Duntifhc are a younger branch of
the Bubdown family, and derive their defeent from
de Foye, a Gafcon, earl of Lcnguevil in Normandy,
and Kendal in England, whofe brother was captain
or Beauvois: their ilfue ftill bear the name and title
of count Longuevil of Kendal. Their arms are O.
2 bulls current in fefs, with collars and bells about
their necks, Az. Walter Foy, gent, a younger fon of
that family, firfl fettled in that parifh, by marrying
the heirefs of Manyngford of Bewly Wood. He
died 1713; his fon Fitzwalter fuCceedcd, and made
large acquifitions in the tythings of Duntifh and
Brockhampton. He married Jane, daughter of ... .
W are of Sherborn, by whom he had Fitzwalter
and John, and three daughters. I~Ie died 174..
Fitzwalter his fon fucceeded, and in 1752 married
the daughter of John Senex, an eminent globe and
map maker, in Fleet-ftreet, London.
Duntifli court was the chief feat of Aid red de
Lincoln, and other lords of the manor, according to
Mr. Coker, who fays it was repared by Mr. Barnes,
being almoft ruined. It Hands near the middle of
Duntifli common, in a high and healthy ftuation,
and affords a pleafant profpect over part of the vale
of Blakemore. Fitzwalter Foy, efq. about 1760,
built a more elegant houfe a littie North of the
former, near the old fortificacion, and named it
Caffle Hill.
Here was formerly a chapel, which has been long
ruinated, nor is the feite now known. Flere is an
eftate of 60 1. per annum belonging to an hofpital in
Exeter.
On a hill a little North of Duntifli -court is an
old fortification, of a circular form, and confiding of
a fmgle rampart and ditch, the area above 10 acres.
On its being cleanfed by the late Mr. Foy from the
wood with which it was overgrown, human bones, an¬
tique pickaxes, fword blades, &c. and Roman coins
were dug up.
Hamlets &c. in the Tything.
Cosmore is a large common and a hamlet con¬
fiding of a few houfes fcattered up and down in it.
It ancientiv belonged to the abbot of Glajlonbury, and
fince, to the other lords of the manor.
Knaps-itill is a farm near Buckland, about half
a mile South from Duntifli. It feems anciently to
have belonged to the Latimer s and Mordants , whence
it came to the Barnes’s. In 1645 Thomas Barnes’s
eftate here, value 1641, 100 1. per annum, was fe-
queflered. Hence it paffed to lord Paulet of Flinton
Ft. George, and now belongs to Fitzwalter Foy, efq.
Revels, a farm fituate near Cofmore-common,
feems to be the Terra Pyvel mentioned in
Allured de Lincolnia’s inquifition, 48 H. III. and
perhaps paffed as Duntifh did ; but we have no
further account of it, till by the heirefs of William
Taylor, yeoman, who poffeffed it 1654, and died 1688,

The Tything of Knoll,
anciently a manor and hamlet, fituated about half
a mile E. from Buckland, of which manor it was
and is a member. It takes is name from a ffeep hill,
a little Weft of Buckham, which ftill bears that name.
If ever there were any hamlet on or near it, it is en¬
tirely depopulated, or has changed its name. It
anciently belonged to the abby of Glafton, by which
it was alienated to the abby of Milton. Radulph de
Hufce held here of the abbot of Glafton p, two hides
of land by half a knight’s fee, which tenements after¬
wards, by grant of Mabilla. formerly wife of Radulph
de K nolle, and Radulph his fon, came into the hands
of the abbot and convent of Milton ; and were con¬
firmed to them by abbot Michael, and the convent, to
be held by them and their fucceffors libere, &c. by
fealty, and the yearly rent of 8 s. to be paid to the
faid abbot and convent, together with regal fervice,
cum accederit, except homage, ward, reliefs, occ. due
before from thence, which were quitted by charter,
to the abbot, &c. of Middleton, for the fealty and
rent aforefaid. William the abbot and the convent
of Milton obliged themfelves, by their charter, to
fealty, rent, and regal fervice, except as excepted,
together with fait at the hundred of Buckland, for
the faid tenements for ever. Afterwards it was found
in an indenture for levying feutage amounting \_cur-
rentis~\ to 40 s. for the king’s army in Wales, in the
eleventh year of abbot John de . . . that the abbot
of Middleton paid to him 20 s. feutage for this half
fee. In 1339, Richard Maury, then abbot of Middle-
ton, did fealty at Mere to abbot Breynton, inftead of
homage, for the aforefaid tenements ; as he did alfo
at Middleton 26 April, 1346, to abbot Monynton
then vifiting there.
Michael de Ambrefbury, abbot of Glafton, who was
elected 1235, and died 1 253, recovered by law 8 s. rent
and fuit at the hundred of this manor of Buckland, of
the abbot of Middleton, for fome lands here or the fee
of Glafton, formerly conferred on that abby 1.
In the cuftomary of Milton this manor occurs,
wherein were 2 free tenants, 7 tenants of 8 acres,
and 17 other tenants ; a croft called Charnhull, is
faid to be in it, containing 7 acres r rod. In the in¬
quifition of Milton abby, 5 E. II. one mdfuage and
2 carucates of land were held here, beyond the
memory of man, by the abbot of Milton, of the
abbot of Glafton, by fervice of half a knight’s fee,
of the gift and feoffment of Mabilla de Knole, and

19 E. IV. Humphry earl of Devon held the manor
of, or lands in Knolle, which, if it relates to this
place, he muft have been leffee under the abbot.
c; Eliz. this manor, being parcel of the monaftery
of Milton, was granted to John Devike and William
Ildcrjham, and their heirs, to be held of the queen in
chief, by fcrvice of a fortieth part of a knight’s fee r.
From hence it feems to have palled to lord Bindon ,
and from him by the Williams' to the Napers.

The Tything of Little-Mintern, or Mintern-

an hamlet lying about two miles S. W. from
Buekland, and about half a mile below Great-Mintern.
It is a member of the manor of Buekland, and be¬
longs to the fame lord ; and there is no reafon to
doubt but that it did fo anciently.
Cli anger, Clingcrwell , a farm, value 175 1. per
annum, fituate two miles from Buekland, to the S. W.
it derives its name from clay, the nature of the foil,
and Hangre , which at the end of words, according
to fir William Dugdale, fignifies the Hope of a hill.
5 E. II. a melfuage and one carucate of land at Cley-
hangre had been held by the abbot of Milton for
above 100 years pad of the heirs of Alured de
Lincoln, by l'ervice of i2d. per annum, for all fer-
vices, of the gift and feofFment of the faid Alured5.
36 FI. VIII. lands here were held by Richard Buck-
land and Robert Horner, with licence to Buekland to
alienate to Roger Clavel. 5 and 6 Ph. and Mary,
they were held by .... Clavel , of the king and
queen in chief, by a tenth of a fee and rent of 41 s.

efqs. held lands here. It now belongs to Thomas
Ryves of Ranfton, efq.
The preceptory of Mayne and the priory of Holme
had fome fmall parcels of land here.
Here is a chapel of eafe, about half a mile N.
from Plufh, but in the centre of the tything. In it
is one bell, and there is a chapel yard, but the in¬
habitants do not bury in it, but in Buekland church¬
yard. They repair their own chapel, and maintain
their own poor, and have officers of their own.
The vicar of Buekland officiates here once a fort¬

The return to the commiffion, 1650, was, that it
was a chapel of eafe to Buekland, three miles diftant.
Mr. Guilliam is curate, who leads a very dilorderly

The Rectory. u
By the compofition before mentioned in 1218, the
ad vow foil of the church became feparated from the
manor, to which it was never afterwards reunited2,
l or though there were fcveral new compofitions
made between the bifhop of Bath and Wells, and the
abbots of Glaftonbury, particularly 50 H. III. and
1275, wherein feveral things formerly granted to the
bilhops were taken away, yet the advowfon continued
in his hands till the reign of H. VI. when Nicholas
Bubwith, bifhop of Bath and Wells, obtained a li¬
cence in mortmain from that prince, in confideration
of 50 1 paid into the Hanaper office, enabling him
to grant the perpetual advowfon of the rectory to
the dean and chapter of Wells, and to receive the
fame, riotvvithftanding the filatures to the contrary, and
to apply the profits of the redorv to their own ufe :
provided the vicarage be competently endowed,' at
the diferetion of the diocefan, and that ionic reafo-
nable fum of money arifing from the profits of it be
yearly diftributed among the poor of the laid parifli.
1 his licence bears date 26 Nov. 2 H. VI. 1425 ri he
original is among the muniments of the chapter of
Wells*.
By virtue of this licence, bifhop Bubwith, by an
inftrument dated 16 Oft. 1424, 3 H. VI. grants to
the dean and chapter the perpetual advowfon of the
church, in which was a vicarage, anciently endowed,
to be by them appropriated to their own ufe, for
the maintenance of fuch burdens and works of piety,
as fhould be appointed by the Laid bifhop or execu¬
tors. The aft of appropriation is under the feal of
John, bifhop of Sarum, dated at Remmefbury, ult.
Feb. 1424 b. After a tedious preface, and a long re¬
cital of the king’s licence, and the grant of bifhop
Bubwith, it goes on to unite, annex, and appropriate to
the dean and chapter of the cathedral church of Vv ells,
the parochial church of Buckland-Ahbas, with all
the rights, appurtenances, & c. faring only the portion
of the vicarage anciently affigned. So that upon the
death or removal of John Axebrigge, then reftcr of
the faid church, the faid dean and chapter might
enter oh the pofieffions of the faid church, receive
the fruits, &c. thereunto belonging, and apply them
to their own ufe, and the ufe of the cathedral for ever.
Ordaining neverthelefs that the faid dean and chap¬
ter, when in pofleffion of the faid reftory and church,
fhall out of the fruits and profits of die fame, main¬
tain three fecular priefts or chaplains, to celebrate
mafs at the altar built at the expence of the faid
Nicholas, late bifnop of Bath and Wells, in the
N. fide of the nave of the church of Wells, for the
foul of the faid late bifnop, &c. Each chaplain to
have 5 1. per annum, and four marks a year was or¬
dered to be diftributed out of the profits of the faid
reftory to the poor of the faid parifli. And in con-
fideration of the lofs which the church of Salifbury
might fuftain by the appropriation, and in token of
the fubjeftion of the church of Buckland- Abbas to
that cathedral, the dean and chapter of Wells were to
pay out of the fruits of Buckland, to the bifhop of
Salifbury, to the dean and chapter of the fame, and
to the archdeacon of Dorfet, and their fucceffors,
penfion of 6 s. 8 d. to be paid yearly to each of them
at Lady day : and in calc of default, the bifhop re-
ferved a power of fequeftration.
'This aft of appropriation was confirmed by the
dean and chapter of Salifbury, and again confirmed
and decreed valid and good in law by Thomas Lang-
ton, bifhop of Sarum, 18 May, 1489 c. It is obfer-
vablethat Axbrigge, the laft reftor, was inftituted 22
Dec. 1424, on the prefentation of the dean and chap¬
ter of Wells, loon after they obtained the advowfon.
As it was given them with a defign to have it ap¬
propriated to them, it is furprifing that they did not
take advantage of the next vacancy, but chofe to
prefent another perfon, and wait till another vacan¬
cy, before the appropriation fhould take effeft. But
the appropriation not being confirmed fooner than
1428, they were obliged to prefent.
But this affair feemstohave been long in agitation,
and attended with fome difficulty ; for in the Sarum

rage, were granted to the dean and chapter ot Wells;
which feems to be a confirmation of the former grants.
29 Id. VIII. 4 June, this reftory was granted by the
dean and chapter of Wells to William Bond, of
Buck'land- Abbas, one of the yeomen of the guard to
the king, for three lives. 33 H. VIII. a leafe for
years after Bond’s leafe, in reverfion, was granted
to Gerard Eryngton, of the Inner Temple, London,
gent. 21 Jac. !. and 6 Car. 1. leafes were granted
to Robert Hyde, elq. of this reftory, for three lives.
In 1645, a chief rent of 20 1. 10 s. paid by Mrs.
Hide to the dean of Wells, was fequeftered. 22
Car. II. a leafe was granted to John Panic t , for three
lives, under the yearly rent of 23 1. 13 s. 4d. In

In 1291, the redtory was valued at 15 marks. It
is now let at 200 1. per annum. It is in Whitchurch
deanry.

* Mr. Lifter was a great benefactor to this
vicarage, and a man of l'pirit and prudence. At
his firft coming hither, he found this living re¬
duced to 60 or 80 1. per annum, by the eafinefs of
his predeceftors, and the encroachments of the pa-
rifhioners. For near 36 years, he had to deal with
almoft a general combination of his parifhioners
againft him ; but he always got the better in every
court of judicature, and broke all their pretended
modus’s. The great dlfpute was concerning the tythe
of milk, a material article in a parifh abounding in
dairies. There was a terrier made 1612, figned
by the vicar, churchwardens, and fidefmen, which
alcertained the vicar’s right ; but in 1634 the parifhio-
ners made another more to their advantage. By this
the tenth cheefe in the tythings of Brokhampton and
Duntifh, and the hamlet of Changer, was only due
to the vicar : the cheefe was to be ordinary cheefe,
to be delivered when ft iff and fit to be carried, and
in lieu of all tythe of milk, butter, cheefe, and cow
white there. This pretended modus he fet afide, and
advanced the profits of his living to near 130 1. per
ann. exclufive of a glebe of 19 acres.
N. B. The anecdotes before given from the ar>
chives of the church of Wells, relating to this parifh,
and that of Whitchurch-Canonicorum, were com¬
municated by the reverend Mr. Collins, late vicar.
MAPOUDER,

Mapeldre.
. This parifh, which is a large one, lies above three
miles N. E. from Buckland-Abbas. The foil is a
deep clay, common to all the vale of Blackmore, and
proper only for grazing and dairies. It derives its
ancient name Mapeldre , of which the modern one
Mapouder is a corruption, from CQapulbep or Gpa-
pulbop, which in Saxon fignifies a Maple , which kind
of tree might anciently abound here.
There was formerly paid out of fome farms in this
parifh White hart fiber to the reeve of the foreft of
Gillingham, faid to be due to the warden of it.
. Here were anciently kept two very confiderable
fairs, of which we have no other account than from
the following record, neither is there now the leaft
tradition in the parifh concerning them.

This place feems to have given birth to Mr.
Coker author of the furvey of Dorfetfhire, who
ftyles himfelf a member of the houfe of the Cokers
of this place s.
In Domefday Book*, Mapledre isfurveyed in three
parcels, one of which belonged to BriRric, T. R. E.
It confifted of one carucate, and had been worth 20 s.
now 12 s. Another was held by Hugh of William
de Ow : it confifted of one carucate, once worth 1 5 s.
now 7 s. Another part was held by Bollo the prielt,
and three free thaines : it confifted of five carucates
worth 4I.
As this parifh is now, and no doubt was then,
more extenfive, we may well fuppoie that it was
then, as well as all the adjacent country, generally
covered by woods, little of which was cleared : or
elfe that feveral manors in the out-parifh were lur-
veyed by ancient names now loft.
The Manor, of Mapouder
feems to have been divided into two moieties.

Fitzherbert at his death held here a moiety of this
manor, with the advowfon of the vill, of Roger de
Mortimer, as of his manor of Wigmore, c. Hereford u*
From this family it came by an heirefs to the Wejls , ari-
ceftors of lord Delawar. 19 R. III. Alice, who was
wife to Thomas Weft, kt. held at her death one
meffuage and 80 acres of land in Mapouder, as be¬

this manor, and one turn of the prefentation as be¬

“ This ancient and well refpefled family of the
“ Cokers,” according to Mr. Coker z “ dwelt in
“ former ages, at Coker in Somerfetfhire, to which,
“ they were beholden for their name.” Robert de
Cocre the firft of this line, was a witnefs to a charter
of Robert de Mandeville, concerning lands in Eaft-
Cocre t. E. I. His fon Matthias de Cocre was founder
of a chantry at Weamdon^ c. Somerfet, 19 E. II.
His fon Richard de Coker gave lands in Charlton
c. Somerfet to the priory of Bruton, and occurs
19 E. III. Matthias de Coker his fon held lands in
Coker, and by Marjoria or Margeria his wife, had
John de Coker, of Weft Coker, who occurs 1 3 H. IV.
His fon Bartholomew de Coker had a daughter,
Elizabeth, who married John Seymour of Wolf-hall
c. Wilts, great grandfather to Edward Seymour duke
of Somerfet, which family ftill quarter the arms of
Coker without a border. This lady was heirefs to
the elder branch of the Cokers j but fome fay the
was daughter and heir of Robert Coker of Laurence-
Lidiard c. Somerfet, who died 12 E. 4. This elder
branch bore the arms of Coker, without a border,
which difference was borne by the younger branch of
Mapouder.
William de Coker of Roulfton and Bower c. Somer¬
fet occurs 49 E. III. and was brother of Matthias
the fecond of that name. He married Elizabeth,
daughter arid heir of Johu NorrE of Pentelyn and,
Languanna c. Glamorgan. His fon Robert, de
Coker, who married . daughter and heir of
John Wallys of Worle c. Somerfet, is ftyled of Bower
in that county, and of Pentelyn and Languanna c.
Glamorgan. He was flieriff of Dorfet and Somerfet
1 H. VI. and father of John, anceftor of the Ma¬
pouder line. See the pedigree annext.
In the E. part of the parifti near the church
ftands the feat of the Cokers, on a rifirig ground
that commands part of the vale of- Blakemore. It
was a large and handfome old pile of building, built
(at Icaft the FT and N. E. part) in the reign of Eliza¬

The S. part of the houfe is low and mod ancient,
and as tradition fays, was an ancient lodge of the
for eft of Blakemore, probably the refidence of the
Bretts and Boys , who leem to have had fome concern
in this parifh. The offices, gardens and avenues of
trees confpired to make it a commodious and pleafant
feat ; but fmee the fale of the eflate, it has been neg-
leffed, and turned into a farm houfe.
Manors, Freeholds, and Farms, now or anciently
in the out-par ifn.
The manor of Hull, The manor of Thurnet.
Can dle-hult or Boy-
wood.
The manor of Little¬
ton or Dacomb.
The manor of FIull, Candle-hull, or Boy wood,
is fituated about a mile W. from Mapouder, and
anciently belonged to the Hakes of Candcl-Wake.
1 1 E. Ill. John Wake, kt. by a fine acknowledged
[recognovitj, that the manor of Hull was held of the
lords of Mapouder, by fefvtce of paying 4d. yearly ;
yearly value 7 1. 4 R. II. it appears by an in-
quifition, that the laid John was feifed of it in
demefne as of fee3. By an heirefs of the Wakes it
came to the Keynes , for John Keynes, died feifed of
it 19 E. IV. ; and 9 H. VII. his fon John made a
complaint in chancery, that the efeheator unjuftly ex¬
pelled him out of it, and alledged, that his father
held this manor of Richard Chokke, lord of Mapou¬
der, as before. From this family it came to the
Mores; for 23 Eliz. a fine was levied between
William More, gent, plaintiff, and John and Edward
Keynes, efqs. defendants, of this manor, viz. three
melfuages, three gardens, three orchards, 290 acres
of land, and 10 s. rent, for which More gave them
250 1. The fame year More made a fine with the
queen, for licence to agree with John Keynes
concerning a plea of covenant of the manor, faid to
be held of the queen in chief. But it being fug-
gelled that the alienation was made without the
queen’s licence, More was fummoned, 25 EJiz. to
ffiew caufe, why it ffiould not come into the queen’s
hands-, but More proved the contrary. Hence it
palled to the Cokers, by which family it was poffeffed
1624, and palfed from them as Mapouder.

In 1522 Cardinal Woolfey formed a new Domef-

richer than 40 or 50 years before, and that the
crown ought to be fupplied in proportion, and a new
valuation made, to afeertain the knights revenue.
Commiftioners were appointed in every county, to
caule the conftables of every parilh to certify the
names of all above 16, the lord and lteward of every
town and hamlet, the parfon’s name, and worth of
the benefice, the owners of every parcel of land,

The Rectory.
The ancient patrons of this reftory feem to have
been the lords of the two moieties of the manor of
Mapouder, and that of Thurnet. Of late years the
right of prefentation, has been much litigated, oc-
cafioned by the ufurpations of the lords of thefe
manors upon one another, by which the regular fuc-
ceflion was difordered and confounded. This was the
cafe on the Iaft vacancy. It was generally thought it
was Mr. Coker’s turn ; but col. Horner, reprefentative
of the Strangeways, put in a claim ; but after a few
years it was compromifed, and Mr. Coker prefented.
It is in Whitchurch deanry.

% The Church
is an ancient fabric, dedicated to St. 'Thomas Bccket ,
and fo much refembles the church of Buck lan d-Abbas
(except that it is confiderably lefs), that one feems
to have been built on the model of the other. It
confifts of a chancel, body, and two ifles equal to
it, all covered with tile. The tower is low, and era-
batteled, and contains three bells. On the N. fide
of the E. window in the chancel is an ancient niche
of ftone work, formerly painted and gilt, rifing in
form of . a fpire to the top. Here was probably the
image of the faint to whom the church was dedicated,
which by a decree of archbifhop Winchelfea t. E. I.
confirmed by his fucceflbr Reynold, was ordered to
be crecfcd in the chancel of every church ; and in the
windows the image of the patron faint was more fre¬
quently depi&ed than any other d. On the S. fide, are
the remains of another niche, which was taken down to
make room for Mr. St. Lo’s monument. The roof of
the N. ifle is ornamented with fquare pannels of
wood, on which are painted and gilt red and white
rofes. Over the porch is a fmall room with a chim¬
ney, which is afeended to from the S. ifle by a pair
of flone flairs ; and as the font Hands near the fool

W O T T O N-G LANVILE.
This parifh receives its name perhaps from its
woody fituation, quali Wodcton. It lies about
three miles S. W. from Pulham, and is all enclofed,
(as is the whole vale) except a large common, and con-
lifts chiefly of pafture for cattle and dairys.
In Doinefday Book p, William de Rraiofc held Wide-
tone , of the king, and Radulph of him. The abbot
of A iiddeltme held it T. R. E. ; it confifted of three
carucates, worth 3 1. Radulph alfo held of William
in the fame vill, one carucate, once worth '30 s. now
40 s.
The mod ancient lords of this place were the fa¬
mily of Mauger , mentioned in the inquifition, 5 E.II.
when the abbot of Milton held in Wolverne Wotton
in pure alms 1 7 folidatce yearly rent, ifluing out of
that manor of the gift of Galfrid of the family of Mau¬
ger, formerly/lord of that manor, and had enjoyed it
beyond the memory of man. Before the time of II. 111.
Henry de Glanvik held ent knight’s fee, of the honor
of Dramele de Conqucjhi Anglia s. In the cufhi-
mary of Milton, under Knolle we Arid that Henry de
Glanville, a free tenant, held two virgatesof land, of
the abbot in Wolverne Wotton, paying yearly 18 d.
for all fervices. 1 8 E. III. it was found not to the king’s
detriment to grant licence to Sibyll Glanvill to give the
manor of Foffardefton, and one meffuage and lands in
Wotton Glanvill, to a chaplain to celebrate divine fer-
vice every day Jbr ever at the altar of the blefTed
virgin Mary in this parifh church. She held the
lands and tenement of William de la Zouche ofFIar-
ringworth, by fervice of an eighth part of a fee, and
the Laid William of the king as of the manor of Sut¬
ton, c. Somerfet, by knights fervice : There re¬
mained to the laid Sibyll, befules this donation, the
manor of Wotton Glanvill, held of John Moubray,
as of his manor of Cnape, c. Suftex, by fervice of
half a knights fee r. 20 E. III. Sibylla de Glanvill
held in Wolvern- Wotton one fourth part of &
knights fee, formerly held by Henry de Glanvill.
T. FI. IV. the heir general of the Glanvils married
Robert More or Attemorey of More in Marnhull and
Manfton, whofe only daughter Edith married John
Newburgh of E. Lullworth about 1 H. VI. 5
It continued in, the Newburgh family till the time
of R. III. after which it appears no more in their in-
qnifitions, and was perhaps alienated to the Lcighs.

THOUGH Cerne is fometimes ftyled an hun¬
dred, it was perhaps only a liberty of the abbot
of Cerne. Religious houfes ufually endeavoured to
engrofs all fecular jurifdiction into their own hands, in
order to exempt themfelves from the lords of hun¬
dreds. It occurs in the record 20 E. I1L as an hun¬
dred, and in it are mentioned Wethefbrig, Kymerich,
Godmanfton and Upfidling, in all which places the
abbot of Cerne had fome concern. It is not mentioned

it confided of Catftock, Compton-Abbas, Hiifild,
Fifehide in Upfidling, Upfideling, and Sideling. It

Catstock, Catteflohe ,
a large village, fituated about two miles S. W. from
Sid! i ng Sr. Nicholas* Here is a wake kept. Monday
after Midfiimmer Day. The principal manor contains
Catftock, or the In-Pariffi. In Domefday. book b, it
feems to be furveyed by the name of Ertacmsf*

It confifted of 1 6 carucates, worth 9 L • Tins rnanop.
is faid to have always been the monks’, demefnes for-
their victuals and cloathing. Though this name dif¬
fers fo much from the name of this place in Athel-
ftan’s charter and other records, it may be owing to a
miftake of the Norman officer who furveyed it. A-
mong the pofleffions of Milton abby in Domefday
Book, Stocke and Eracomejloke occur •, but by compa¬
ring the places given by king Athelftanin his charter,
and recited in the inquifition of 4-E. II . Stocke very
probably was Stokeland. In king Atheiftan’s .charter
Cattejloke is faid to confift of 5 hides, Eftacomejiohe in
Domefday Book of 10. Perhaps in that interval the
abby received farther donations here, or made Tome
purchafes, or a more exact furvey. Mr. Coker c fays,
this place was giv.en to the abby by Gervas c[e Newbu¬
ry 1 8 E. I. but this is an evident error, probably ow¬
ing to" an ighoriln't tranferiber, who removed dvmargi-
nal reference" into the text.

In I on 3 the lands of the abbot of Milton here were
valued at 64 s. 6 d J. 4 El II. the inquifition rela¬
ting to the abby and convent of Milton lets forth that
they held the manor of Catteftoke with its members,
viz. Doddleibegh, Wicham, Beftedon, and Chaunte-
marle, with the advowlon of the church of Cattekoke,
in chief, in free, pure and perpetual alms of the gift
and feoffment of king Athelftan, performing no ier-
vice but only prayers : and that they had in that ma¬
nor 5 hides, and liberties of Infangthef and Way ft,
&c. The cuft.umary of this manor in Milton regifter
is im per left, but it mentions Stoke, Holwcye, Befte-
don and Duddlefheye as members of it.
2 Eliz. this manor and advowlon, parcel of the
abby of Milton, were granted to Thomas Hom'd
Vifcount Bin don, value ib’ !. 9 s- ^ fome branch of
this familv it continued till ikTac. Lvyhen Women earl
of Suffolk conveyed \t to John Williams and his heirs.
In 1640, term.' Palch. a fine was paffed, an.d a recovery
fuffered, of this manor and advowlon by Cv Edmund
Williams of London, kilt, one of whole family fold
the manor to the tenants in fee (who are now all rree-
holders) j and alfo the advowfon of the church.
The Castle, as it is called, (lands on a hill a
little E. of the parifh, and is an ancient fortification
of a circular form, the area about, 4 acres: the en¬
trances are on the N. E. and Vv . The rampart is
high i at it’s foot on the outfide is another low one,
or°a parapet without any ditch. On the infide the
ground is even with the top of the principal rampart,
and towards the middle of the area rifes into a long
barrow. Near the N. E. entrance is a round tumu¬
lus, which on the top is compofed of flints, and may
be only an heap of Hones gathered out of the
adjacent common fields. No coins have been found
here, though part of the area has been ploughed.
On the fides of an hill E. of this camp are many
fmall fquare divifions facing the S. like thole taken
notice of by Dr. Stukelcy in the E. parts of this
county and Wiltfhire. There are many of this kind
near Cerne-abbas.
Hamlets, Farms, &c. in the out manor or pari
Higher or North Chalminctcn,
anciently a manor, now a ty thing and farm, fituated one
mileN. from Catftock. King Athelflan by his foun¬
dation charter gave two hides at Chalmington to the
abby of Milton. It does not occur in Domefday
Book, being perhaps included in the furvey of Ca -
ftock. In the inquifition 4 E. II. it is enumerated
among the poffeffions of that abby, and is laid to.be a
member of the manor of Sideling. Chalmingtcn and
Blakemore are laid to confift ot two hidp. In the
cuftumary of Milton 15 E. II. it feems to be then a
manor; its furvey is included in Sideling* but is im-
perfeft. D. Hugo dl Strode, liber tenens , held freely in
fee Parva Chalmyngton, per forinfeca fervitia , and one
virgate of land in Blakemore, paying yearly 16 s. 9 d.
and relief. Walter de Bugle held freely in fee half an
hide of land in Chalmyngton, and one water- mill per
forinfeca fervitia, and paying yearly 10 s. id. doing
luit at Upfidling at all courts, and paying relief, but
no other l'erviees. In this manor were 3 free tenants,
6 villains, and 2 cotarii e.
The Strodes of Parnham feem to have been leffees
here under the abbot of Milton and Winchefter col¬
lege, to whom it was afterward granted. The records
of that family evidence, that they held Chalmyngton
t. H. I : but they do not diftinguifh the Chalmyng-
tons ; and it is not improbable that they poffeffed both,
as they built a chape! in or near their manfion houfe here.
However, they feem to have alienated it; for it was
purchafed before 1600 by . Bifhop, whofe
coheireffes brought it to their hufbands T. Burt and
R. Syms of Beminfter, gent, whofe fons the reverend
George Burt of Afkerfwell, clerk, and Richard Syms
of Beminfter, counfellor at law, are now lefiees; value
140 1. per annum. 1
Here was a chapel in a clofe called Chapel-mead,
part of which was (landing in the memory of man,
but there are now no remains of it. It appears from
the Strodes’ evidences, that Henry Strode , efq. built a
chapel at Chalmyngton in honour of Saint Mary Mag¬
dalen t. E. III.

But 5 E. II. the abbot &c. of Milton held a mefiuage
and one carucate of land called Beftedone of the gife of
Matilda and Joan, daughters and heirs of John de
Beftedone, and by the quitclaim of John, fon of
Avice, daughter and heir of the faid John de Befte¬
done, which they had pofiefied 25 years, and had a
grant from king E. I.
Blakemore, now only a meadow, was, as Higher
Chalmington in which it was included, a member of
the manor of Sidling, and by the cuftumary of Mil-
ton feems to have been a fmali manor.
Lower or South Chalmington,
now a farm, perhaps anciently a manor near High¬
er Chalmington, belonged to the manor of Sidling
St. Nicholas, to which it ftill pays acknowledgment.
We have no ancient accounts of it; but it feems very
early to have belonged to the Strodes, who were proba¬
bly mefne lords under the abby of Milion. In this fa¬
mily it continued many ages, till Sir Robert Strode of
Parnham, knt. t. Eliz. conveyed it to Catherine his
daughter, who brought it to her husband fir Richard f
fon of fir William Strode of Newnham, c. Devon,
who pofiefied it in Mr. Coker’s time.
This laft family, by the Vifitation Book, c. Devon,

this name, or his anceftor, took his n3gie from Strode,

do not appear to have been related to the Strodes of
Parnham, and their arms were different, viz. A. a
chevron between three conies Sa. See more of this
family in Mr. Prince’s Worthies of Devon, p. 564.
Hence it came to the Chudleighs of Afhton, c. De¬

the reader may fee a full account in the Baronettage,
vol. i. 526 — 531. and Prince’s Worthies of Devon,

ClIANTMARLE,
anciently a manor, now a farm, fituated on the river
Frome, a mile N. from Catftock, of which manor
it was once a member. The abbot of Milton was
lord paramount, but it feems in great meafure to
have been alienated from that monastery ; for it very
anciently belonged to the family of the Chantmarles ,
who derived their name from hence. 12,13 John,
Robert Chantmarle held of the king’s demefnes, one
third of a fee {.
Mr. Coker fays s, “ it gave furname to a family, of
i( which John bettered his eftate by an heir of Wil-
“ liam de Stoke, lord of E. Stoke. His grandchild
“ John, left one onlie daughter his heir, Joan, wife,
« of John Cheverel, whofe pofterity remained here in
“ good eft ecm even unto our times.” While this fa¬
mily poffeffed it, they are ftiled of Chantmarle,
which they probably made their chief feat, and had
their place of fepulture in the parifh church of
Catftock. In 1605, 3 jac. I. fir John Barnham, &c.
1 fuppofe truftees of the Cheverels, conveyed to John
Stroae, efq. the manor of Chantmarle and Hevvdene
[Hevedo/i]. He and his fuccefTois feem to have made
it, at lealt fometimes, the place of their refidence.
In 164^, John Strode, efq. had his eftate here, val.
1641, 300 1. per annum, fcqueftered. In a fubfidy
roll ic6i relating to this parifh, fir Richard Stroud
of Chalmyngton, fir John Stroud of Chantmarle, and
Richard Bifhop, efq. of Holwel are mentioned. The
farm confifts of 600 • acres, is worth 220 1. per
annum, and belonged to the Strodes of Parnham,
till the extinction of that family, and now belongs to.

This little town derives its name from the river
Cerne, on which it ftands, which alfo gives name to
Mintern, Nether-Cerne, and Charminfter ; and not from
the abfurd etymology of the monks, hereafter to be men¬
tioned, compounded of two languages, it is fituated
in a pleafant vale, furrounded with fteep hills, efpeci-
ally on the N. which open to the E. and W. and is 99
computed, and 123 meafured miles, and fix furlongs
from London 5 fix miles and a half N. W. from Dor-
chefter, and two miles S. from Great Mintern. Its
extent is not great, and it confifts of four or five
ftreets, whereof the Market ftreet is the principal.
The buildings are but indifferent, moftly Flemifh.
The bifhop’s and archdeacon’s vifitations were for¬
merly held here ; but very lately at Whitchurch Ca-
nonicorum, the head of the deanry, whence they were
removed hither, as more commodious for the reception
of the clergy,
The only trade it has. arifes from its market, and
fairs; having loft its chief fubfiftence fince the fup-
preflion of its abbey. Here is a well-frequented market,
chiefly for corn, on Wednelday, and three fairs year¬
ly, on Midlent Monday, Holy Thurfday, and St.
Matthew’s day. The market was granted 15 John.
38 H. VI. a fair was- granted to the abbot1. 4 Jac.
I. the profits of both were granted to Thomas Emer-
Jon.
In 1644, the king’s forces called Irifh, burnt fome
houfes here, aud at Shafton, and Berainfter'u. In
March 1645, Cromwell came hither, and was
joined by colonel Holbern and the populace. The
king’s forces coming within three miles, he took the
field, but they retired on his being joined by col.
Horton’s and Coke’s regiments".
Oft. 30, 1731, a quarter before one in the morn¬
ing, a whirlwind happened here. It began at the
S. W. fide of the town, went in a direft line to the
N. E. crofting the middle of the town, and for the
breadth of about 200 yards, uncovered tiled and thatch¬
ed houfes, rooted trees out of the ground, broke others,
fome a foot fquare, carrying off the top s a conlider-
able way. The fign of the New Inn, 5 feet by 4,
6 feet in the pole, was broken off, and carried crols
the ftreet, 40 feet broad, over the oppofitc houfe.
It threw down the pinnacles and battlements on one
fide of the church tower, whofe fall damaged the
leads and timber of the N. ifle. All the houfes
were fhocked, but none injured except in the line of
it, nor was any life loft. The damage amounted to
2 58 1. No other place felt or heard it. It was l'o calm
a quarter after 12, that a man carried a lighted
candle through the ftreets unextinguilhed. The
great calm which fucqeeded it Was foon followed by
a violent rain x.
The Manor.
The manor, demefnes, and tythes feem to have be¬
longed to the abbey from its foundation. In Domef-
day Book -v, Cerneli, was held by the church of St.
Peter de Cernel. It confifted of 20 caru cates, .of which
Briduin holds four hides, and has there four caru-
cates. He held it in like manner T. R. E.: and it could
not depart from the church, nor could at the time of
the furvey. The lordlhip of the church was and is
worth 21 1. that of Briftuinus, 100 s.
■ There are in Domefday Book 12 parcels of land
furveyed under the title qf Cerne, Cernel, and Cerncli.
All of thefe were in the hands of lay-lords, ‘except
Cerneli, i. e. Cerne-Abbae,. .another Cerne, which then
belonged to the bilhop of Salifbury, and another
Cerne, which belonged to the abbot of Milton, now
probably Little-Mintern, in Buckland- Abbas. Thofe
parcels that were held by the lay-lords- were- perhaps
little manors dependant upon thofe vills, which by
degrees came to the abbey. As this Cerne. contained
a great quantity of land, it is not improbable that
Great-Mintern and Nether-Cerne were included
in it. _ _ _
In this abbey it continued till the Diflolutlon. 3 r

C £ R N E-ABBAS.
[clafs mark LI. i. io.] feems to have been the pro¬
perty of this houfe. It is of high antiquity, and con¬
tains a collection of leffons and prayers written in the
ancient Saxon characters ; and, on feveral leaves in¬
ferred in the beginning, contains, according to the
cuftora of thofe ages, feveral particulars relating to
the abbey. I have inferted an account of its con¬
tents communicated to me by a learned friend, who ex¬
amined it at my requeft. It begins with feveral grants of
indulgences to the faithful vifiting and offering up
their devotions here ; viz. twenty days by the arch-
bifhop of Canterbury, fifteen and twenty by the bilhop
of Sarum. Then follows an account of the dedi¬
cation of feveral altars, viz. i3ii,of the altar in the
abbot’s chapel, in honor of St. Stephen and St. Ka¬
therine, by an Irilh bilhop of Enaghdoe [ Enachdunenfis ]
who granted at the fame time an indulgence for twenty
days to thofe who vifited it. The fame bifhop alfo
dedicated the chapel of the infirmary in honour of
the Virgin, St. Margaret, and St. Apollonia ; to the
vilitors of which he granted an indulgence of thirty
days. A.D. 1318 the bifhop of Sarum dedicated the
high altar in honour of the Virgin and St. Peter, with a
fimilar grant of forty days indulgence. In 1396 the bi¬
fhop of Enachdoe, fuffragan to the bifhop of Oxford,
dedicated two altars in the chapel of Nutherteene , [f.
Nether Cerne]the high altar to All Saints, and that on
the S. fide to St. Ethelreda. Then follow feveral par¬
ticulars relating to the knights fees held by the abbot.
2 H. I. he anfwers for three. 14 H. II. a mark was
raifed on every knight’s fee throughout England, for
marrying the king’s daughter to the duke of Saxony ;
and writs ilfue to every tenant in capite, to certify how
many knights fees he holds. The abbot of Cerne’s re¬
turn is printed in the Liber Niger, as above cited. It
appears, however, that the exchequer was not well con¬
tent with the abbot’s account, who owned only two
knights fees, and difowned the other eight which
were charged on him. The king afterwards grants
his charter, by which they were to enjoy wrcccum
-per omnes terras fuas fuper mare et helium et polam et
forum in villa de Cerne, faciendo fervitium 2 militum
ad fcutagium, et unum militem in expeditione d. Not-
withllandng this charter, the abbot ftill remained
charged as before in the exchequer, till 54 LI. III.
who confirmed the preceding charter, and forgave the
arrears, which amounted to near 200 1. The charter
and the writ to the barons of the exchequer to this
purpofe are here preferved. One might have ima¬
gined the abbot would have been well contented with
this great reduction, and chearfully performed the
fervice enjoined by this charter. But, emboldened by
fuccefs, he next labours to fhake off the remainder of
the yoke ; and 22 E. I. he is diftrained by the fheriff
for not performing the fervice of one knight in the
king’s army, in the loth of his reign, but obtains a
charter of pardon for this omiffion and a writ of
fuperfedeas to the exchequer. 3 1 E. I. a writ iffued
to the fheriff, not to levy the aid of 40s. for mar¬
rying the king’s daughter, on the lands of the abbey
held in focage, but only on thofe held in fee.

Alfric or Elfric Putta or Puttoc, /which laft name
Mr. Wharton, from a Lambeth MS. of Florence of
Worcefler reads fittunc, qi d. learned) to whom
we owe the preservation of Saxon literature, was
abbot, or at lead monk here. He appears to have
fludied in fome religious houie at Winchefter, or fub-
jecl to Ethelwoldx biffiop of Winchefter, a great re-
florer of learning, whofe fucceffor Elphegus fent
him, when only monk, to Cerne abbey?, at the
requeft of the founder Aelmar, to inftitute the
monadic difcipline there. Here he tranllated from
Latin into Saxon eighty fermons, called Catholici ,
and afterwards compofed the Latin and Saxon
grammar printed at the end of Sonmer’s Saxon
dictionary. He feems to have been fent for a like
purpofe to Bath abbey, where he wrote or tranf-
lated the Saxon Golpels2 A. D. 1005, being abbot
of Winchefter a. Fie wrote the life of his rnafter
Ethel wolph, and, according to Mr. Wharton, the
Saxon Chronicle to A. D. 97 5. He was at length,
in the reign of Canute A. D. 1023, advanced to the lee
of York, and dying A. D. 1050 at Southwell, was
buried at Peterborough, where he had an anniverfary.
I have dwelt more largely upon this article, as Mr.
Wharton feems to have firft diftinguifhed this emi¬
nent man from others of his name, in a differtation
profeffedly on the fubjeft, which neither bifhop Tan¬
ner, Dr. liichardfon, nor Mr. Drake, have followed.
Robert Wantham^ another monk here, was /killed
in etymology, and author of a book in verfe, of the
original and lignification of words b, dedicated to his
abbot Richard Sinuell, by whom Leland probably
means Richard Sewell, abbot here from 1244 to 1260.
He adds that the MS. was at Oxford.
Cardinal Morton was a monk here in the beginning
of the fifteenth century.
Thomas, fon of Thomas Martin, gent, born herec,
was educated at Winchefter, became Fellow of New
College 1539. He was a learned civilian, travelled
into France, and refided at Bruges, where he took
the degree of LL.D. In 1553 he refigned his fel¬
low/hip, and praftifed in the court of Arches, and
that of the archdeacon of Berks. In 1555, he was
incorporated LL.D. at Oxford, and made chancellor
to bifhop Bonner or Gardener. Fie was a zealous
papift, and is thought to have been too compliant
with Gardiner and Bonner, and to have had a great
fliare in the perlecution of archbifliop Cranmcr, and
others. He is fuppofed to have died 1584. Fie
wrote r . “ A treadle, proving that the Marriage of
“ Pricfts and profelfed perfons was no marriage,
“ 4 to. 1554.” 2. “ A confutation of Dr. Poynet’s

F rom the F. F ruits office we learn that in 1 5 34 her e were
obits for Robert, Thomas, Dionyfius, Ralph, Richard
and Philip, abbots of this place >, for John Vann the
thirty-firft abbot ; for Alreda wife, and Aihvard fon of
the founder, DavidPley, Thomas Friday, Alice eountefs
of Wilts, Henry Harding, Anaftafia Attcmore, Hugh
Chamberlain, and John Burton. Such obits arc fure
figns of the perfons being buried here. One of the
Brunings of Melbury was interred here about 1467.
Thomas Rope, canon of Sarum and reftor of Sy-
mondfbury 1494, willed his body to be buried in
the chancel near St. Edwold’s tomb. Philip Mabanks,
efq. 1404, willed his body to be buried in St. Mary’s
church in the abby. Edith Carew of Buckland
Abbas willed her body to be buried here 1517,
her executor Giles Strangeways, her fon in law.
Thomas Fawey ordered his body to be buried here
1 522, and gave a legacy to Robert Weftbury, then
abbot.
In this church was a chantry founded 9 E HI. by
William de Whitfield, to find two monks chaplains,
to pray for his foul. Plere was alfo another chantry
erefted 4 H. IV. by indenture between 11. Symondei-
bury abbot, and Humphry Stafford, kt. U'hereby
the abbot was to find one fecular chaplain, to cele¬
brate every day for ever at the altar of the Holy
Crofs or St Michael, in the faid monafterv, for the
good eftate of the faid Humphry and Elizabeth his
wife, while living, and for their fouls after the if
death ; and for the fouls of John Stafford, kt. and

Stafford and Elizabeth his wife were obliged to, and
for thofe of all faithful people. This mals to be called
Stafford’s mafs. The abbot to find a poor manj to fay
mals daily forever, and to pay him 17s. 4d. yearly,
in equal portions every week. The abbot grants
to the founders, &c. participation of their good
works, and their names to be put in the martyrology,
and recited when divine fervice was faid. For thefc
purpofes H. Stafford gave to the abbot the manor
of Milbcrn St. Andrew, alias Milborn-Deverel.
At the N. E. corner- of the church yard, which
formerly belonged to the abby, now to the pari/h
church, from which it is diftant about 500 yards, is a
lpring, which ftill retains the name of Augujline's
Well. It is walled about, and feems to have, had a
chapel built over it, faid to be dedicated to St. An-

Rood at the N. part of the town, and extended Eaft-
ward towards the foot of the hill ; but now fcarce any
veftigia of this part of it appear. The only re¬
main of it is a manfion houfe fituated at the N. or
higher end of the market ffreet, which feems to
have been moftfy built out of the ruins of the abby.
It was much repaired and enlarged by Denzil,
lord Holies, who marrying Jane, widow of John Freke,
efq. refided here fome years. Of the ancient ffru&ure
little exifts, except a chamber or two built by abbot
Vanne, as appears by I. V. in cypher over a
chimney. In a lower room were fome glazed tiles
with vaire O and .... and G. a lion rampant be¬
tween 4 quatrefoils O.
But the moil confiderable remain of the abby is
a {lately, large, fquare, embatteled tower or gate
houfe, of three ftories, which feems to have been the
principal entrance, and {lands a little North of the
prefent abby houfe. In the lower room, which was
the gate or paflage, on each fide the Eaft door,
are two efcutcheons with the arms of the abby,
and of Richard , earl of Cornzval , in allufion to whom
probably the arch of the entrance ends in two large
lions.
' In the arched work of the ceiling within, are five
fhields with 1 . The abby arms. 2 A brake. 3 A text T.
4 . . . . and in the centre, the T with a crofier.
In the W. or principal front are two large bow win¬
dows, reaching almoft to the top. Under the higher
one are thefe arms and devices on 8 efcotcheons, 4 in
front, and 2 on each fide : 1. 4 croffes patee in
crofs. 2. 2 bars. 3. A rofe. 4. A portcullis d. 5. A
text T. and a crofier through it. 6. An O or T with
the crofier, and under it on the fafeia QKXT- 7. The
brake. 8. effaced.
Under the lower window are 8 more efcotcheons,
4 in front, and 2 on each fide. 1. A dolphin em-
bowed, Fitzjames. 2. A crofs fleury. 3. A lion
rampant in a border of bezants, the arms of Richard
earl of Cornzval. 4. Modern France and England.
5. Four fufils in fefs encircled with the garter. 6. A
crofs engrailed between four lilies, the arms of the
abby. 7. Bendy of 6, impaling a chevron between
three rofes. 8 Bendy of 6 and a file of 3 points im¬
paling . . in a border engrailed. Below thefe
two windows is an aperture half walled up, which
feems to have been the ancient door. An angel
under the window holds a fliield with fomething like
3 efcalops ; another holds a blank fhield.
The old abby houfe, many large barns, &c. made
out of the ruins of the abby, were burnt about 50
years ago.
Here was anciently a park belonging to the abbot. E.
of the prefent houfe are traces of a garden with walks
and round parterres, which goes by the name of Beau¬
voir. N. of this and the church-yard is a large
fquare area with double banks and an outer ditch.
Tradition aferibes it to the abby j but it feems more
confiderable.
Thomas Corton the laff abbot, and 1 6 monks, fur-
rendered this abby of St. Mary, St. Peter, and St.
Edwold, to John Tregonwel, &c. March 15, 1^39,

thought no Improper head-piece to this hundred.

Between his legs are certain rude letters fcarce
legible, which are given here as copied Aug. 1772s.
It is plain that there were no more than three.

Some affirm them to be a proof of the great antiquity
of this figure, which they refer to the Saxon times.
Over thefe are three more figures probably modern.
If thefe are intended for a date, we may read it
748, and fuppofe the figure reprefents prince
Cenric, fon of Cuthred king of Weflex, who was
killed that year. The Saxon Chronicle and Florence
of Worcefter do not fay on what occafion, or where.
If they are to be taken for a modern date of repair
(perhaps 1 748), and the letters below do not hand
for Ano, might we without a Stukeleian conjecture,
read the word IAO, and fuppofe the figure to re-
prefent the Supreme Deity ?
It has been reported to have been made by lord
Holies's fervants, during his refidence here : but
it is more likely he only caufed it to be repaired ;
for fome people who died not long fince, 80 or 90
years old, when young knew fome of the fame age,
that averred it was there beyond the memory of man.
There is a tradition, that a giant, who refided here¬
about in former ages, the pelt and terror of the ad¬
jacent country, having made an excurfion into Black-
more, and regaled himfelf with feveral ftieep, retired
to this hill, and lay down to fleep. The country
people feized this opportunity, pinioned him down,
and killed him, and then traced out the dimenfions
of his body, to perpetuate his memory. Fabulous
as this ftory is, it is perhaps a proof of the great an¬
tiquity of this figure. It extends over near an acre
of ground, as does the White Horfe in Berkfhire,
which is 150 feet from the head to the withers. It
feems to have been executed by perfons who were
not quite unacquainted with the rules of proportion ob-
fervedby ftatuaries and painters, who anciently allowed
feven or eight heads to the length of a human body.
It is repaired about once in feven years, by the peo¬
ple of the town, by cleanfing the furrows, and filling
them with frefh chalk. Scouring the White Horfe is
a cuftom, and feftival folemnized from time imme¬
morial, by a numerous concourfe of people from
the adjacent villages. If there ever was any parti¬
cular day in the year for this purpofe here, the me¬
mory of it is now loft, and the operation performed
juft when the towns-people think fit. Moft anti¬
quaries agree that it is a monument of high anti¬
quity, and make little doubt but that it was a repre-
fentation of the Saxon god Heil 5 fo that it muft be
more ancient at leaft than A. D. 600, foon after
which time the Saxons were converted to Chriftianity.
Dr. Stukely was of a fingular opinion, that it was
the figure of Hercules, and that the Saxon God Hell
was no other than the Phcenician Hercules, or Meli-
cartus, who brought hither the firft colony, and that
this figure was not fo much an objefl: of religious wor-
fhip, as a memorial. The club in our giant’s hand
feems to have led him to imagine this. He f up poles
this enormous figure might be cut by the Britons in
compliment to Eli , furnamed the Great , on' his ex¬
pelling the Belgse. Here is a wood called Hell-wood
to this day.

The Church
Hands towards the lower end of the market ftreet, and
is an handfome large HruHure, fuppofed to have
been ereHed- by the convent for the ufe of the town,
about the middle of the 1 3th or beginning of the 16th
century, at which period of time mofl of the great
religious houfes feem to have built parochial churches
in raoft of the places wherein they were fituated. For
the conventual church being often the only one in
villages and fmall towns, the parilhioners claimed, and
exercifed a right of making ufe of fome part of it,
which frequently occafioned difputes between them
and the monks, to prevent which, and fuch mifchie-
vous confequences as happened at Sherborn, where
the conventual church was burnt on fuch a difpute, the
abbots ereHed parochial churches for the foie ufe of
the parilhioners. But Ihere feems to have been a
parilh church here before, perhaps,. originally a cha¬
pel in honor of the place of St. Edwold’s retirement,'
and afterwards enlarged and rebuilt.
The prefent church is dedicated to St. Mary , and
confids of a chancel, body, and two ides of equal length
with the body and chancel, a neat high tower embattled
and adorned with pinnacles, and containing five bells
and a clock. The bell tolls here at eight at night,
and four in the morning, all the year round. The
body which is raifed above the ifles, has three win¬
dows on each fide, and is fupported by three pillars.
'On the tower over the W.door, which is the principal
entrance into the church, is a nich with the image
of the Virgin Mary crowned, holding our Saviour
in her arms. The arches of the tower are pannelled
like thole at Sherborn : whence it probably is of the
fame age, viz. H. VI. Under two niches in the fides of
the arch of the W. window, two angels hold Hiields
with and a faltire. In 1550 here was^an organ,
which was probably taken away about that time.
In the chancel on an oval Hone, within the rails
on the S. fide of the altar, is this infcription :
Here lieth interred the body of the reverend Mr.
'John Derby, M. A. reftor of Minterne and
Pokefwell, and curate of Cerne, who de¬
parted this life, Sept. 8, 1736; greatly be¬
loved and lamented. He was an affeftionate

The Rectory.
All tythes belonged to the abby from its founda¬
tion, In 1291, this reftory was valued at 10 marks;
After the Didbludon 15 Eliz. the tythes of corn,
hay, wool, and lamb in this paridi were granted to
Thomas Freke , 8tc. for three lives. 43 Eliz. they.
with the advowfon of the vicarage, were granted to
Edmond Downing , and Peter Afhton, and their heirs ;
but it foQii after came to the Frekes, and thence pallid
to the Pitts.
The Vicarage.
There is no mention of it 1291, though it feems
to haye exifted long before, but endowed very poorly
with only a part of the vicarial tythe. After the
Diffolution, it paffed to the fame perfons as the rec¬
tory. The ancient patrons were the abbots of Cerne ;
and dnee, the crown and its grantees. The prefent
patron is George Pitty of Stratfield Say, efq. It is now
properly a donative, and has perhaps been fo ever
dnee the Reformation. It was augmented by lot with
200 1, by queen Anne’s bounty, 1735.
The endowment of this vicarage not exceeding 8 1.
per annum, whereby the cure of fouls had been neg-
lefted, for the encouragement of the vicar to red.de,
and conftantly ferve the cure, 40 1. per annum was
added to the prefent endowment, during fuch time
as he and his fuccedors continue refident, and ferve
the cure : thefaid yearly fum to.be charged on the
manor, and paid quarterly, clear from all deductions.
A vicarial houfe was begun about this time, but ne¬
ver finifhed. .

are ftiled of London for two generations, of whom
Robert the fecond fon had George of Kent, who had
fir Robert, living 1 596 ; fir Thomas, and fir Albert, fe-

This little vill, now almoft depopulated, receives
its additional name from its fituation on the river be¬
low Cerne Abbas, from which it is diftant about 2
miles and a half S. and in the fnrvey of which rt
feems to be included in Domefday Book. It belong-
very anciently to the neighbouring abby of Cerne,
perhaps from its firft foundation. In 1293, tem¬
poralities of the abbot of Cerne here, were valued at
9I. s 11 E. II. the abbot had a charter for free
warren in Nether-Cerne. It continued in this mo-
naftery till the Diffolution, when, .37.JH. VIII. the ma¬
nor and tythes, pafture for 100 ewes, and 40 multones,
the hay of clofes called Orchard and Brodemead; a
meadow called Sheep clofe, pafture for 320 ewes, and ,
360 wethers ; the tythe of grain and hay in the whole
parilh belonging to the monaftery of Cerne, were
granted for 310I. 1 1 s. ud. to John Baily and
heirs, to be held of the king in chief by one forti¬
eth part of a fee, value 16 1. 15 s. 6 d. 22 Eliz.

were held by John Bayly as before, val. 16I. 15 s.

William Bayly, gent.
Hence it came by purchafe or marriage to the
Browns of Frampton, but no marriage between this
family and that occurs in their pedigree. It now be¬
longs to George Brown, of Frampton, efq.
The Church:
anciently a chapel of eafe to Cerne, was built by
Avice mother in law to John Brown of Frampton,
efq. who died 1558. On the tower under each
pinnacle are angels holding fcrolls.
The Rectory.
The tythes feem to have been entirely engrofied by
the monaftery of Cerne, who probably ferved it by
one of their own monks, or a ftipendiary prieft; for no
mention is made of any vicarage, nor do any infti-
tutions appear in the Sarum regifters ; nor does it oc¬
cur in any ancient or modern valor. At the Reforma¬
tion, the tythes were, as is before recited, granted to
John Baily ; and 1 6 Jac. I. to James Outer lony , lent.
&c. value 12 1. per annum, but this does not feem to
have fet afide the former grant, for they palled with
the manor from Baily to Brown. Ever fince it has
been a donative, or perpetual curacy ; the patrons
the lords of the manor, now George Brown, of Framp¬
ton, efq. and it has generally been annexed to the vi¬
carage of Frampton, and ferved by the vicar the firft
Sunday in every month, who has a falary of 6 1. per
annum.
The return to the commiflion 1650, was, that they#
had no parfonage, vicarage, or minifter, and only 6 1.
per annum ftipend, paid by Humphry Bayly, gent, in
cafe any did officiate. They had a parilh church,
and defire that Godmanfton might be united to
them.

a (mail village fituated in a vale, as the name implies,
quafi Comb ‘Town. It is called Compton Abbas from
its relation to the abby of Milton *, and Wcft-Compr
ton, in regard to its pofition from E. Compton, from
which it was diftant two miles N. W. King Athel-
ftan, by the foundation charter, gave fix hides at
Cumptone to the abby of Milton. In Domefday
Book x, the church of Middletune held Contone ; it
confided of three carucates, worth 4 1. In 1293,
the lands of the abbot here were valued at 6 1. y
In the inquifition 5 E. II. the abby held the manor
and advowfon of Compton of the gift and feoffment
of king Atheldan, in pure alms, in which manor were
fix hides of land, with all liberties mentioned at Mil-
ton-Abbas. 20 H. VIII. the abbot leafed a moiety
of the manor, and two parts of the farm to Robert
Hardy, alias Shepherd, of Sidling, for 70 years, for a
fine of 61. 13 s. 4d. and the yearly rent of 100 s,
2 Eliz. this manor, and a rent of 8 1. 2 s. 9 d. the
fervice of the tenants, the whole farm, and the ad->
vowfon of the reftory, all belonging to the late abby
of Milton, were granted to John Reve, and his heirs,
to be held in chief by fervice of one twentieth part
of a knight’s fee. 29 Eliz. the premifes were held
by John Ryves , of Damory court, at his death, as
before mentioned, value 18I. 10 s. 5 d. Hence it
came to John Michel, of Kingfton Ruffe!, efq. and is

Godmanston,
a little village fituated about a mile S. from Nether
Cerne, on the river or rivulet of Cerne, which runs
through this manor. The name of this place does
not occur in Domefday Book, nor any that bears any
refemblance to it ; fo that its more ancient name is
entirely loft. The earlieft lords we find of this place
were the Godmanjions , who either gave their name to,
or received it hence. 30 E. I. Robert de Godman¬
fton held here, and in Bromlegh, c. Effex, 4 knights
fees, value 8 1. per annum, which formerly belonged
to Matthew Lovayne m. 20 E. III. Galfridus de Ba¬
res held here, in Cerne hundred, half a knight’s fee,
which Robert de Godmanfton formerly held. The
Bares were probably lelfees of the Godmanfions,
who continued patrons of the church, and no doubt
lords of the manor, till about 1467, 7 E. IV. We
have very little account of them, probably becaufe
their refidence was in Effex". 38 H. VI. John God¬
manfton held at his death the manor of Godmanfton,
of the king in chief by fervice of 18 d. per annum,
andfuit at the king’s Hundred Court, at Modburgh,
near Cerne, twice a year: alfo the manor of Fife-
hide Maudelyn, of Richard duke of York. Wil¬
liam his fon and heir, set. 20 h William Godmanfton
was fheriff of Effex 5 R. II. John Godmanfton oc¬
curs in the lift of gentlemen in Effex, 12 H. VI. who
could difpend 12 1. per annum ; and was flier iff of
Effex and Hertfordfhire 31 H. VI. The arms of this
family were, according to Mr. Coker, Az. an eagle
displayed O.
Soon after this it feems to have been forfeited to
the crown ; for 1 1 E. IV. the king releafes his right
in this manor to John Mone, or Mo him, efq. 19 E.
VI. John Mohun died feifed of it. Hence it came to
the Trenchards, of Wolveton ; and 2 R. III. it came
into the king’s hands, by attainder of John Trench-
ard for high treafon, value 10 1. Not long after, it
paffed to the Browns of Frampton. 37 H. VIII.
this manor was held by Bridget Brown, by the fame
tenure as John Godmanfton held it. 3 Eliz. John
Browne held it, by gift of John Morton, by fine or li¬
cence. 26 Eliz. it was, with the appurtenances, viz.
two meffuages and 970 acres of land, held by Cle¬
ment Saunders, by the fame tenure as Bridget Brown
held it. 36 Eliz. Saunders had licence to alienate the
premil'es to .... Brown. In Mr. Coker’s time it
was the dwelling of fir Robert, younger brother of
fir John Browne, of Frampton, kt. whence defeended
the Browns of Godmanfton, and Blanford St. Mary,
whofe pofterity refided here, till they removed to the
latter place, where fee their pedigree, and a farther
account of them. In 1625, this manor and advoiv-
ion were conveyed by fir Robert Brown, of Godman¬
fton, kt. and Robert his fon, and Cicily Rawlins, wi¬
dow, to fir John Strode > of Parnham. In 164 c
John Strode, elq. had his old rents of this manor
value 1 1 I. per annum, fequeftered. At the extinefi-
on of this family, they came to fir William Oglandcr,
bt. who, 1770, alienated the farm, manor, and ad-
vowlon, to John Smith , efq. of Sydling St. Nicholas.

John lord Stourton ; 15 Jac. I. with the office of bai¬
liff and fenefchal of the fame to James Galley, gent,
for 21 years ; and* 5 Car. I. to Gilbert North, efq. and
heirs. In the Inquifitio Gheldi the prefent name
does not occur, nor any refembling it ; but Feren-
done is mentioned as a hundred, containing 37 hides :
This was probably Faringdon, ftill fituate in this hun¬
dred, and from which the courts in after-ages might
be removed to Redlane , which is a lane or ground
near Todbere. The courts have been long neglefted,
and the lord unknown. In the record 20 E. III. it
contained all the prefent tythings, except Fifehide-
Magdalen and Hanford, and included Langenham,
Poukerfton, Middleton, Kington-parva, and Lailoun.
T. H. VIII. it contained the fame tythings as now,
and alfo included Wefton, and the libera dec'tma, or
free tything.
FIFEHIDE - MAGDALEN,
• Fife hide Abbas,
a little village fituated a mile N. from Marnhull.
It is called Fifehide from the five hides of land it con¬
tained, and receives its additional name of Magdalen
from the faint to whom its church is dedicated. In
Domefday Book a, earl Hugh held Fifhide, and Gijle-
bertus of him. It confided of five carucates worth
7 h
Hugh de Abrincis, fon of William the Conqueror’s
filler, came into England, and was created earl of
Chefter, A. D. 1070. Among the vaft poffeffions
given him, was this manor, and nine more in this coun¬
ty b. Ramtlp%Hmn&)Tt<M. de Gernons, his defeendant, gave
this manor, and the churches of St. Leonard, St.
Nicholas, and All-hallows, in Briftol, to the canons of
St. Auguftine there. Henry II. by charter fans date,
confirming the charter of Robert Fitzharding to that
priory by him founded, mentions that he had given to
it the manor of Fifhida, in Dorlet : and reciting
a charter of confirmation by king John, when earl of
Moreton, fans date, mentions ex dono D. Ranulph de
Cejlria terra de Fifhide , in Dorfet. Earl Ranulph died
1 1 53. Earl Ranulph III. commonly called Blundevill ,
or Blandevil, the 1 aft of this great family, dying 5
cal. Nov. 16 H. III. without iffue, his vaft eftate
came to his four filters, or their defeendants. Their
chief feat was at the caftle of Dunbar : their place
of fepulture, in the Chapter houfe of St. Wer-
burgh’s abbey in Chefter : their arms feem to have
varied in each defeent d.
In 1293, the lands of the abbot of St. Augnjlmc
here were valued at 7 1. e 38 FI. VI. John God-
manfton held of Richard duke of York the manor
of Fifehide-Magdalen, but he could be only leffee
here under the abbot. Henry VIII. having eretted
the bifhopric of Briftol , A° 34, granted to it this ma¬
nor of Fyfehide cum Crokerford, and the advowfon
of the vicarage, parcel of St. Auguftines in Briftol
to the bilhop, paying out of the vicarage 3 1.
The Newmans of this place were leffees under the
bilhop. In 1645, was fcqueftered a rent of 22 1.
per annum paid by Mr. Newman, out of his eftate
here, held of the bilhop of Briftol, In 1649, the
manor of Fifehide, and Crokerford, and the demefnes
were fold to John . for 1333 1. 2 s. 4 d.
During the rebellion, Richard Newman, gentl com¬
pounded for, and paid 287 1. 10's, for being a com-
miflioner of the king’s.
In 1645, a rent of 2 id. is. paid by Mr .John
Fjlmond, out of his eftate here, held as before, was
fcqueftered. In a ubfidy roll 1661, Richard New¬
man, fen. and jun. eiqrs. are mentioned.

anciently a manor and parifh, fituated about two
miles N. W. from Durwefton, now reduced to Mr.
Seymer’s houfe and farm, derives its name from
its fituation, a dwelling near a ford over the river
Stour, on which it lies, in a pleafant and fruitful
vale well wooded, and confifts of arable, meadow, and
pafture. It is extraparochial, and the ancient vitl, by
the uneven ground thereabouts, feems to have been
a little N. of the church. It has been depopulated be¬
yond memory.

The manor has long been extinguilhed : there is a
crown rent of 2 1. paid out of it. The farm now be¬
longs to Henry Seymer, efq. . .
The feat of the Seymers, the only houfe in the
parifh, was, as Mr. Coker fays, lately built by fir
Robert Seymer. It is handfome, but not large,
and built of flone. The chief front and entrance
is on the N. •, the outer gate, adorned with pilafters
and a pediment, leads into a fmall court or
quadrangle. The inner door is ornamented in the
lame manner. Over it are the arms, quarterings, and
creft of Seymer. i and 4 Seymer. 2 Attwater.

The Church
is a fmall fabric, neatly pewed with wainfcot, offici¬
ated in once every Sunday. It (lands a little N. of
Mr. Seymer’s houfe, and confifts of a chancel and
body, not diftind from one another, and both tiled. In
a fmall turret at the W. end is one little bell. At the
W. end is a vault, the burial place of the Seymers,
but there is no monument nor infcription. Over the

The Rectory.
In 1291, this redory of Hamford in the deanry of
Shafton, was valued at 10 marks. The abbefs of Tarent
feems very early to have engrafted the glebe and
tithes, as well as all the other lands in the parifh x
for it is not mentioned in the inftitution regilters of
Sarum, nor charged in any modern valor ; fo that the
convent feems to have had the cure ferved by a
ftipendiary prieft. The glebe and tithes being parcel
of the abby of Tarent were after the diftolution
purchafed by the Daccombs and Seymer sy together
with the manor and farm, fo that no maintenance was
left for a minifter . . Seymer, efq. appointed
20 1. per annum for fome neighbouring clergyman
to officiate here every Sunday.
; The return to the commiftion 1650, was, This
tithing is but one houfe. There is no parfonage or
vicarage. There is a chaplain mamtaiiied by, [he farm.
As there has been no inftitution to this church (dr

Great-Kington. Kington -Magna,
Kington Plukenet.
This village, which probably takes its name from
having been part of the ancient demefne of our
kings before the conqueft, lies in the N. part of this
county, one mile and half to the N. W. from Fifehide
Magdalen. It is called Kington Magna, to diftinguifh
it from Little-Kington, and Kington-Plukenet from
its ancient lords.
In Domefday-Book % it feems to be furveyed in
two parcels. Ernulfus de Hefding held Chintone of the
king : it confifted of five carucates worth 4 1. Ra-
nulfus held Chintone , of JValeranus. : it confifted of
two carucates, once worth 30 s. now 50 s. Dugdale
and T’noroton make Cinton to be the ancient name
for Kington. This Waleran feems to have been
a Norman, who came over with William the Con¬
queror, who gave him the manors of Manfton,
Great-Kington, Sutton-Walrond, Winterborn, Dodef-
bery, Fifehide, Knoll, Maiden-Newton, and Toller,
all which he was poftefied of when Domefday-Book
was made. Walter1*, one of his defcendants, on the
afieffment for aid for marrying the king’s daughter,
12 H. II. certified that he had 25 knights fees

de veteri feoffamento , for which 14 H. II. on the
colledtion of that aid he paid 25 marks. 6 R. I.
on an expedition then to be made iri Normitidy, he
gave 10 1. to be exempted from that fervice, and on
the collection of the fcutage for that king’s redemption
25 1. He gave E. Dene c. Wilts to the community
of the church of Sarum. Having married Ifabel
daughter to William, fon and heir of William
Longfpe earl of Salisbury, he died 2 John, leaving
ififue by her, Caecilia wife of John de Monmouth,
Aubrey married to John de Inge ham, kt. and Ifabel
to William de Nevile. John de Ingeham, giving 60
marks and a palfrey for his relief, had livery of the
third part of the barony, excepting the ferjeancy of the
foreb, and what belonged to it, which William de
Nevile had, who gave 80 marks and a palfrey for
licence to marry Ifabel. 3 John, J. de Monemuth
gave 8 marks and two Norway gofhawks for his rea-
lonable purparty of the lands of the faid Walter,
and of thofe of the inheritance of Walter’s mother.
4 John, Ifabel, wife of the faid Walter, furviving, paid
10 the king 100 1. fine for liberty to marry as fhe
fhould think fit. 6 John, J.de Ingham being dead,
William de Boterelles gave twocourfers and a Norway
gofhawk for licence to marry Aubrey his widow,
befides a fine of 300 marks which fhe paid for licence
to marry.
Robert Waleran or Walrond feems to have been
feated in Wilts, 12 H. II. and died 2 John •, and if
we may be indulged a conjecture from the refem-
blance of the name, was probably defeended from
Waleranus before mentioned, efpecially as we find that
family to have a concern here very early. This
Robert was a noted man in his time, and a conftant
adherent of H. III. under whom he enjoyed many
great polls of honour and profit, and feveral con-
fiderable grants. He v/as fheriff of Glouceflerfhire
from 30 to 34 H. III. and governour of many cables
in that reign. By marriage with a coheir of Hugh
Kilpeck, he became poffeffed of the cable of Kilpeck
c. Hereford, and other lands in that county. 52 H.
III. he gave in fee farm to Alan Plugenet his ne¬
phew, fon of Alice his fiber, the manors of Kyngeton
and Mangarbon in Dorfet, and feveral others c.
Somerfet and Wilts ; alfo the forreberfhip of the
New Foreft to hold to him and his heirs, paying
yearly to the faid Robert 120I. alfo the cable of
Kilpeck, the park of Trivel and Coytmore, the
foreberfhip of the Hay c. Hereford, and the manor
of Harnham c. Wilts, paying yearly 120I. and a
fore or fpar-hawk, all which were regranted by him
to Robert and his heirs, and for default of fuch ibfue,
to remain to Alan and his heirs. This Robert alfo
married Maud, daughter of Ralph RufTel, by whom
he had the manor of Dereham, c. Glouceber, by her
father’s gift. He died 1 E. I. without iffue, leaving
Robert Waleran, fon of William his brother, his next
heir, ret. 17. Maud his wife furvived him, but
feems to have died the fame year, feifed inter alia of

is a pretty large village, fituated about two miles
N. W. from Child- Ockford.
In Domefday Book x, Mane/lone was held by Wale-
ran of the king, and by Warenger of him. It con¬
futed of eight carucates, once worth 61. now 100 1.
Its moft ancient lords fern to have been the Wale-
'tins and Plukenets, mentioned in Great Ivingfton.
Mr. Coker fays y, this place “ gave both name and
habitation to an ancient family, long fincc determined
in an heir-general, married to Liett ; from whom it
defeended, about Richard Ill’s time, to John Percy,
whole fucceflbrs enjoyed it, till of late years it came
by . to ... . Sheldon , defeended outofWor-
cefterftiire.’’ Leland lays2, “ JVlannefton alias Man-

33 E. I. David Mannefton had a charter of free-
warren here a. Richard de Mannefton was one of
the jurors at an inquifition of the foreft of Gillingham,
6 E. II. b -2o E. III. Oliver de Servino-ion held here
o
half a knight’s fee, which Johanna de Plucknet for¬
merly held. Roger Attevoelle held another half fee,
which David de Manfton formerly held. Mr. Coker
fays c, one of the Manftons married an heir general
of the Glanvils, of Glanvils-Wotton. In 1418 li¬
cence was given to Thomas Manfton and Joan his
wife to celebrate mafs in an oratory here d.
After the Manftons, John Well , cfq. appears in
the -Saturn R.egifters as patron of the reiftory between
1479 and 1499. Perhaps he married the relict of
Manfton, and prefented in her right, or elfe was a
leffee ; for Mr. Coker fays, that Lyet married the
heirefs of Manfton. 1 7 E. IV. William Lyet, at his
death, held this manor and advowfon. T. H. VIII.

in Poorflock, dying without iifue, it came to his bro¬
ther fames, reftor of Fontmel and Fifehide-Nevil.
Thomas Dibben, D. D. reftor of Great Fontmel
and precentor of St. Paul’s, chaplain to Dr. Robin-
fon, bilhop of Briftol, at the congrefs of Utrecht,
was born here, and educated at Trinity college, Cam¬
bridge. Fie was a good divine and orator, and am
excellent Latin poet. He publifhed a lermon preached
at Shafton vifitation, and another preached at St.
John’s church in Utrecht, before the embafladors, on
the day of queen Anne’s acceffion, 17 1 X. He tranf-
lated Mr. Prior’s Carmen Seculare into Latin verfe,
which is perhaps the belt piece of modern Latin
poetry extant. Mr. Prior’s compliment to him, in
his preface to his poems, is but truth. He thanks
him for this excellent verlion, though he fays his
gratitude might juftly carry a little envy with it, as
tlie moll accurate judges would find the tranflation
exceed the original. Many years before his death
he became difordered in his fenles, left his houfe and
friends, fpent his fortune, and died in the Poultry
Compter in London, 174
The Church is a fmall ancient fabric, dedicated
to St. Nicholas.

CHILD-OCKFORD
is a large parifh,' and: feems to derive its principal
name from oaks which once grew about this ford,
as well as its neighbours Qckford-Elkelling and Ock-
ford Pi tz- Pain ; and its additional name from its chill
or cold ft tuati on. It lies, about a mile N. E. from
Shilling- Ockford, on the E. fide of the river Stour.
In • Domefday Book b, Ackford is furveyed in two
parcels : and, becaufe here were always two manors,
and the other two Ackfords are well diftinguifhed
from one another and from this, we may venture to
pronounce thefe two parcels to relate to this manor.
The firft was held by earl Harold, T. R. E. and af¬
terwards by the king. It confided of fix carucates,
worth 10 1. The other was held by the earl of
Moritoh. It confided of fix carucates, worth 7 1.
Trenchard VMitttoiv Ockford-Superior or Upper.
The mod ancient lord we are certain of is Robert
de Hull, who prefented to a moiety of the rettory,
1317 : for it is not knov^n which moiety of the ma¬
nor Ro’ger de Stocks, who prefented to a moiety
1297, and Richard de Wyckevverne, who prefented
1305, were lords of ; the laft probably might be of
Mr. Seymer’s manor. ' Catharine, daughter and heir
of fir Robert de Hull, lord of a moi.ety of this manor,
and the manor of E. Pulham, brought it to her huf-
band fir Robert Latimer of Duntilhe e, who died 33

Colchefter, was beheaded 9 March, 1648. From 1645
to 1652, the old rents of .this manor, val. 9 1. 8 s. and
a farm here belonging' to him and his fon were fe^
queftered. In 1653 this manor, was conveyed to fir
Edmund Capel, truftee of the late lord Capel. Hence
it came to the Seymers of Hanford ; and now belongs
to Henry Seymer, efq.

Hayward -Bridge is a bridge, of fix or feven
arches, over the Stour, half a, mile W. from this vill.
There are fome lands formerly given to maintain it,
which lie near it, in the parilh of Shillingfton.
About a mile E. from this place is a large fortifica¬
tion on an high hill, called
Hamildon or Hambledon-Hill,
which belongs partly to Hanford, Shroton, and Child-
Ockford-, but the moft part of the fortification iies in
the latter. It is the antagonift camp to that on Hod-
Hill, which lies a little S. of it, divided from it by a
deep and narrow vale. . Before you come to the prin¬
cipal front of this work, there are two or three low
ramparts or trenches that crofs the narrowed: part of
the hill, the W. end of which is broad and level, but
then grows narrower, and ends in a point that turns
away N. W. There the ground is rugged and uneven.
It is moft acceflible on the E. at which entrance are
four or five ramparts and trenches ; but the reft of the
work has generally but two. Below the outer fofs on
the W. there is a fmall parapet fronting the river Stour,
that runs at the foot of the hill. It extends in length
E. and W. about three quarters of a mile ; its breadth
is inconfiderable and unequal, and its form very irre¬
gular, as is the lhape of the hill. Hence is an exten¬
sive profpefl: of the river Stour, and part of the vale
of Blackmore. The author of the Additions to Cam¬
den’s Britannia will have it to have been rather a
work of the Danes than the Romans, becaufe of its
irregularity ; but Mr. Aubrey, in his Monumenta
Britannica, vol. II. p. 31, fays, he was informed by
capt. Ryves of Ranfton, that Roman coins had been
ploughed up on the top of the hill.
After the fiege of Sherborn was formed, the heads
of the Club-Men met at .Shafton, Aug. 2, 1645, to
confult how to interrupt it *, but were feized by a
party of horfe detached from Sherborn under colonel
Fleetwood. Their followers, exafperated, affembled
to the number of 10000, to refeue their leaders/and
execute their defign. Auguft 4, Cromwell marched
towards Shafton with 1000 dragoons, and prevailed
on a large body polled on the top of an hill covered

with wood and almofl inacceffible, to difperfe. He
then advanced to a larger number, about 4000 (Vi¬
cars fays 2500), who had white colours, were all
armed, and polled in the camp. Cromwell fummoned
them to lay down their arms, which they refuted,
being encouraged by their commander, Mr. Bra-
vel, reflor of Compton near Shafton, who threatened
to pillol whoever gave back. Cromwell ordered his
own troop to charge, which was repulfed, with the
lofs of two killed, eight or nine wounded, and fix or
feven hor-fes flain by the diladvantage of the place.
The Club Men were polled behind the bank of this
work, and defended the pafs to it, which was fo nar¬
row that three horfes could fcarce march abrealt.
On this major-general Defborough, with Crormvell’s
regiment of horle, went round about the ledge of the
hill, gained the top with fome difficulty, and entered
on their rear. After a Ihort difpute, the paffage be¬
fore attacked was opened, and the Club-Men difperfed
and difarmed. Many efcaped by Aiding down the
fleep hill with great hazard. In Sprigge’s Table of
Battles and Sieges, the adlion is faid to have lafted an
hour ; 60 were Aain ; 400 were taken prifoners, with
1 2 colours, and 600 arms, but no ordnance. Cromwell’s
forces quartered at Shroton that night. The prifoners,
of whom 200 were wounded, were fecured in the
church. Among them were four reilors and curates,
Mr. Talbot of Milton, Mr. Lawrence of Ockford, &c.
The motto on one of the colours was, If you offer to
plunder our cattle , be affured we will bid you battle.
On others were fentences of fcripture prophanely ap¬
plied, as Sprigge fays, by their malignant prieAs,
who were the principal ftirrers-up of the people. On
Cromwell’s part, major Paltifon was mortally wounded,
and 12 more killed
Andyers or Altngiers,
a farm Atuated in this parifh, of which We have no
ancient account. In 2645, Mr. Hugh Hodge's farm
here, value 1641 50 1. per annum, was fequeilered.
After this it came to the G.ollops of Berw ick, and now
belongs to fames Gollop, efq.
LlTTLE-FoNTMEL, Or FoNTMEL-PaRVA,
anciently a manor, now a farm, Atuated about a mile
N. W. from Child-Ockford. It anciently belonged
to the Daccombs of Stepleton, or a branch of that
family. 9 H. VI. William Daccomb died feifed of
this manor °. In 1628, James Daccomb at his death
held it of George Trenchard, efq. as of his manor of
Child-Ockford or Hamoon °. Hence it came to a
branch of the St. Loes, a very ancient family, which
had formerly very large polfeffions in Somerfetffiire
and GlouceAerfhire. Sir William St. Loe, knt. t.
Eliz. married Elizabeth, daughter of John Hard¬
wick, of Hardwick in Derbyffiire, and widow of fir
William Cavendiffi, by whom he had no child ; and
gave his great eflate to her, whence it pafled into the
family of the Cavendiffes, dukes of Devonffire. Se¬
veral anecdotes relating to this family may be feen in
Leland p. There are fome monuments for them in
the church of St. Helen’s in London, and Chew-
Magna, c. Somerfet.

fo then, it was divided 1297. Each rriariot ha‘d a
moiety belonging to it, to which rhe lord of the

to be again united. John Latimer, and Thomas

petition to the bifhop reprefent, That the tythes,
&c. of the parifh were fo flender, that they were not
Sufficient to fuflain two re£lors perfonally refiding,
ufing hofpitaiity, and fupporting the burdens of the
church at prefent, and probably not for the future :
except one re&or ferved one year, and the other
another year. Whytok and Keby were then re&ors,
and the tithes of either mediety did not exceed
communibus annis 81. 16 s. 8 d. The bifhop orders
that the rector ferving the church fhould have all
the fmall tithes and the oblations of the altar : the
abfent reftor in the year of his abfence (who had
liberty to feek eongruam fuftentationem in any other
place) to have the great tithes, wool, lamb, and a
moiety of the glebe. Dat. 11 March, 1437 s. The
patronage of the Inferior moiety now belongs to
George Trenchard, efq. That of the inferior moiety
to Mr. Hall , the reprefentative of the Crabbs, who
feem to have purchafed it on the fale of this moiety
of the manor ; probably of the Capels. Of late
years one reflor has had both moieties ; anciently
the two reflors officiated alternately, one in the
morning, the other in the afternoon. Here are

Shrewton , Shereveton, alias Ewern-Courtney,
a large parifli fituated in a vale, on the little river
Ewern, from which it takes its principal ancient
name, and its aditional one from the Courtneys , once
lords of it. Mr. Coker fays, Shrowton is a “• nick¬
name,” which, though a very modern one, has now
almoft excluded the other. It lies about 2 miles E.
from Child-Ockford.
It cannot be detefmined whether Ezvcrne, which
in Domefday Book n confifted of 3 hides, and be¬
longed to Robert Fil. Geroldi , was this place, or
Ewern-Stepleton. By the quantity of land it feems\
to be latter, and Shroton might be included in the
furvey of fome neighbouring place, perhaps Ewern-
minifter : or it might be Faringdon.

thefe particulars, among many others, relating to
this vill.
“ It was fituated in a country commodious and plen¬
tiful of wood, corn, pafture, See. Its circuit not
above 3 miles, and it lay open till 1548, when the
common fields were inclofed. The cuftomary tene¬
ments were fb (mall, that the tenants not being able to
piay the lord’s rent, half of them furrendered their
copies to the lord. The reft requefted they might
uie his land, fo as they paid the rent j and the lord
confented that fix tenants, chofen and fworn, fhould
tread out the lands of the manor, and allot how much
each t'ennant fhould have, in order to inclofe. There
were two leet courts at Michaelmafs and Lady-day.
A 'fair kept in the fields under Arnold’s Hill on
Holy-Jood day ; yearly profits to the lord, 5 1. The
more tenants were allotted 1 2 acres, at 8 s. rent ; the
leffer tenants 8 acres, at 6 s. 8 d. The borde lands,
27 acres, remained undivided, and were granted to
feveral tenants at lod an acre. Goofe-filver for

MEM. The pedigree of Thomas Pitt, of Blandford, is publilhed in Blandford St. Mary from the Irifh Peerage, but it appears on better information, that he was brother and not younger fon of fir William Pitt ; and that he was fon and not hufhand
of Joane, daughter of John Swain, as is here more correctly fet forth.
[A] He feems to have been a native of Wareham, as he married the heirefs of Cadbury of Arne; and fome of the fame
name are mentioned in the regifter of St. Mary’s in Wareham the latter end of 1500. He was employed, t. Jac. I. as a
commiflioner in feveral affairs then tranfafted [1]. He is laid to have been comptroller of the houfehold, and a principal
officer in the exchequer; or, as it is expreffed upon his monument at Stratfield-Say, yErarii minijlrum clafis curanda, ac aula
Jumptibus corrigcndis deletfum, in the three reigns of Elizabeth, James I. and Charles I. In 1604 tbele arms were g‘'an'ed by Mr-
Camden, clarencieux king of arms, to William Pitt of Ew'ern-Stepleton, efq. S. a fefs cheque A. and Az. between three
bezants. The fefs cheque is faid to be given in allufion to his office in the exchequer. He was knighted at Newmarket
16] 8. He purchafed the manors of Evvern-Stepleton and Stratfield-Say, which latter has ever fince been the principal refi-
dence and burial-place of the family. He held at his death, as appears by an inquifition fans date, the priory of Wareham,
Redclyff tenement in Stowborough, and the tythe of Earls-Mead ; the borough of Stowborough ; the manor of Little-Prefton,
and tithes there ; the reftory of Shapwick, and a portion of tithes with a barn in Bere-Regis [2].
[B] During the Civil War he was an officer in the king’s army, and compounded for his eftate at 244 1. 6 s;
[C] He, as well as his father, made great additions to the family eftate, and was pofieffed of a noble fortune. He was
member of Parliament for Wareham, and feprefentative for the county of Hants. His character maybe feen on an hono¬
rary monument erefted in the church of Stinsford, by Lora his fecond lady and relift.
N. B. There were levcral branches of this family formerly feated at Blanford and Dorchefter. Hence iffued the Pitts, late
earls of Londonderry, thole of the Down, in Blanford St. Mary and Abbots Anne, c. Hants.

kine and horfes ; and from Ghriflmafs to the middle
of March, for fhcep. The prior of St. John of
Jerusalem, in right of his free tenement, was to keep
there 2 kine and 2 6 fheep. The reftor for his glebe,
8 beads and 1 bull. None of the inhabitants of
Faringdon, parcel of the manor of Ewern, have any
right in the common. The prior, the only free tenant,
had one tenement and 3 acres in the fields, and owed
only fuit of court. The demefnes were 4220 acres ;
a park, 20 acres ; paflure on Hambledon hill, 230
acres. The rent of the cuftomary tenants amounted
to x 1. 15 s* 10 d. the demefnes 20 1.” There are
many nxles relating to the tenants: account of the
rents and names of the cuftomary tenants and rents
of the demefne lands ; too long and immaterial to be
recited.
Ciiurch-Lands. 4 and 5 Philip and Mary 3
acres of land given for ringing the curfew bell were
granted to Morgan and Ward. 7 E. IV. a cottage,
a clofe of pallure, containing 1 rod and 2 acres of
arable, once belonging to the Knights Hofpitalers,
and afterwards to fir Thomas Seymour , knt. were
granted to the .< tar l of Bedford.
The Free-School.
Oppofite to the rectorial houfe is the freefchool,
which, as the aft of parliament 3 and 4 Anne fcts forth,
was built by Elizabeth, widow of fir Francis Freke,
who paid to the fchoolmafier 20 1. per annum, during
her life, and appointed the fame to be for ever fo
continued. But as the writings did not appear, this
aft appoints that the laid meffuage, called the fchool-
houfe, and the grounds adjoining, not exceeding an
acre, fhould be veiled in truflees, for repairing
the fame, and maintenance of a mailer, to be appointed
by the lord or lady of the manor, and on default
for the fpace of three months, by the truflees or major
part of them, or by the furvivor, or his heirs : there
fliall for ever ifiue out of the manor the annual fum of
20 1. to be paid quarterly, clear of all deduftions, to
the truflees for that ufe. The prefent fchoolmafier
is the Rev. Thomas Martin the reftor.
At the upper end of the parifli is a fmall handfome
feat, built by William Jeanes, gent, an eminent at¬
torney at law, and many years fieward to the Frekes
and Pitts, which at his death, 1760, together with
his eflate at Nutford near Blanford, 8ec, he left to
his fon William Jeanes, efq.
Faringdon,
anciently a , manor, now a hamlet and farm, a
member of Shroton from which it is diflant about two
miles N.W. In the Inquifitio Gheldi, Ferendone is
mentioned as the capital of a hundred, which in after
ages feems to have been transferred to Redlane.
The molt ancient lords we find of it were the
Faringdons , who feem to have taken their name from
this vill. Whether they were the fame family that
were feated at Winterborn-Faringdon, or a branch
of it, is uncertain. 49 H. 111. John Favendon held
the bailywick of the hundreds of this county u.
18 E. II. it was found not to the king’s detriment,
to give leave to Robert de Farendon to give the
WTO N:
S'9
capital bailywick of this county, and the beadlefhip
[ bedellaria ] of the hundreds of Redlane, Uggefcom-b,
Gouderethorne, Tolreforde, Eggardon and.St George,
to Thomas Farendon and his heirs ; which bailywick
and bedellarys are held of the king in chief, by
fervice of paying yearly at the Exchequer 20 s. and
of being capital baily of the whole county : , for
which bailywick he fliall be attending [ in tenders] on*
the king or his miniflers, ro execute all mandates to
him direfted x. 1 E. III. Thomas Farendon granted
18 marks yearly rent, to Sarah, late wife of Robert
Farendon, for her dower, to be received out of the
lands in Farendon, Childackford, Winterborn- Wit-
church and Bridport A 3 E. III. Thomas de Farendon,
at his death held the capital bailywick and bedellarys
of the hundreds before mentioned by the fame fer¬
vice : alfo lands in Athelington, Symondefberghe,
Wotton, Loders, Redeway and Whitchurch; .35s.
rent of five free tenants in Waldiche, lands in Farcn-
don and Tynkeldene : John, .his brother and .heir,
act. 40 u. 4 E. III. John de Farendon had leave to
grant one meffuage and thirteen acres of land in
Symondelberga, to the abbot, & c. of Cent : Remain
to the faid John the manor of Farendon, held of fir
Hugh Courtney, by fervice of one knight’s fee ; two
carucates. of land in Tunkeldene ; 12 1. yearly rent
out of feveral tenements in Dorchefler, and the baily¬
wick, and the bedellarys belonging to it, before
mentioned x.
We have no farther account how long it continued
in this family, nor how it paffed, till 7 E. VI. it was
granted to William, earl of Pembroke , who 3 Eliz.
had licence to alienate it to Robert Freke, gent, and
his heirs, value 11 1. 17 s. 9 d. 26 Eliz. he,
who is then faid to be fon and heir of John Freke,
held it. In the vifitation book 1623 there are three
delcents of this family, of which, as we learn
from the Shroton regifler, Robert died 1581, Robert
1604, and F\.obert 1051. From thence it defeended to
John Freke, clerk, vicar of Fifehide-Nevil, and reftor
of Belchalwql, who dying unmarried 1730, his eflate,
or at leafl the remainder of it, came to his. heirs.
In this vill is a medicinal fpring, of which defter
Nathanael Highmore has given this account. “ Chaly-
beat waters, particularly this, are impregnated prin¬
cipally from vitriol or fait of iron, which is very
volatile ; fo that little of it can be found by evapora¬
tion of a great quantity, or from the precipitated
fediment. 1 put four ounces of ordinary clear water
into a glafs, and impregnated it with a known por-;
tion of gall ; then by degrees I let fa'i into it near
two grains of fait of iron, until I found it thereby as
deeply tinged red, as the fame quantity of Farrington
Waters would be by the fame proportion of gall.
This water fo tinged tailed and fmelt juft as the
natural water from the fpring with gall did. If I
added a greater proportion of lalt, it would make it
naufeous and emetical. It begins to be in high
efleem for extraordinary cures in the lcorbute, aflhma,
&c. It has a larger proportion of the minerals than
Aflrop waters, but the force holds not if removed
from the fpring head2.”

And, as a devoute tribute, he dedicated them both
to the honour of God.
Hee alhvays prefented orthodox men to his tenn

The eftate left by their anceflors lice managed with,
wifdom and honour,
Increaft it little, being both of them
Magnificently bountiful,
Providently frugal.
To ferve his country, to incourage virtue, arid rewafefe

Hee was twice knight of the fhire, thirty years
deputy-lieutenant;.
In all which his diligence, prudence, and juftice

That the people rejoyced, and he defervedly had the

A worthie" patriot.
He always fought peace, and enfued it ; and was

A carefull guardian to: their children.
They were both of them
Very hofpitable to ftraiigers, free almoners to

Liberal parents to all their families, ahd that even in
life-time.
As well as to thofe of their name and blood, as unto

recommended
Their foules into the hands of their Redeemer,
Their bodies to be buried here in the vault.

In a vault in the S. ifle are interred Thomas Freke ,
efq. (the laft of that family) of Shroton, and Thomas
Pyle, efq. but there is no monument or infcription for
either of them.
The Register contains nothing remarkable, but
the baptifms, marriages, and burials of theFrekesand
the Ryves’s, and the deaths of feveral rectors. The
mod material are inferted in the pedigrees of the
former and the lift of the. latter.

This river, bendes the iifh that are common to other
wivers, yields tench, of which it is generally obferv-
able that they delight in ponds and pits. Anciently
we find an officer appointed for the cor.fervation of
the river. 25 H. VI. James earl of Wilts held the
cuftody of the banks of the rivers Stour and Frome f.

granted to ... . Daccomb and his heirs,

to the Governors of Sherborn School .
In this pariRr the river Stour enters this county,
and is the moR confiderable river in it, though it
neither riles nor falls into the fea in it ; but it takes its
courfe through the’ greateR part of it, and communb
cates its name to feveral places fituate on its banks.
Mr. Baxter calls it Sdora \_Bdora as RavennasJ or
St ura, and derives it from the Britilh Es dur, aqua
proRuens. Dour or dur , was a general name for
rivers among the Britons. Dover in Irilh Rill fignifies
water. Stour is the name of feveral rivers in Eng¬
land, particularly in Worcefterfhire and Kent. Stura
and Duria or Dour are rivers in Piedmont, France,
and Spain, as Dur is in Ireland. This river rifes
from fix heads s, in Sturton park, c. Wilts ; three
of them lie on the N. fide of it, within the pales,
the other three without, a vale lying between them,
but they are nearly oppollte each other, and the bend
in the Stourton arms between the fix fountains has
a reference to the fituation of thofe fountains, now in
Mr. Hoare’s garden. It enters this county near Long-
lane mill in this parifli, paffes by Silton, Milton, Gil¬
lingham, E. and W. Stour, Stour-ProvoR, Marnhull,
SturminRer-Newton CaRle, Stour-Pain, Blanford-

MinRer, Canford, and near W. Parley, enters Hamp-
ffiire, and paffing through Iver bridge, falls into
the fea at ChriRchurch Twyneham. Several rivu¬
lets run into it, viz. near Gillingham the Sheer Wa¬
ter, the Ledden, and a namelefs cne from Mere :
below Marnhull the Gale Water : near SturminRer-
Newton the Divelifli, the Lidden, and a water

SUTTON - WAL ROND.
This little parifh takes its principal name South-
tone , quaft South-Town , from its fituation with
refpecl to fome adjacent place, and its additional one
from its ancient lords, the Walronds . It lies two
miles N. from Shroton.
In Domefday Book x, Waleranus Venator held Sud-
tone. It confifted of fix carucates worth 8 1. From
the Walerans or Walronds, of whom an account has
been given in Great-Kington, this manor does not
feem to have pafled to the Plugenets, but to other
branches of that family, of which the following
records give a curious account.
The barony of Walrond in Wilts and Dorfet was
divided into three parts by the co-heirefs of William
Walrond, and afterward underwent another divifion
or diftribution in the courfe of heritage y. By a
record 1 5 11. II. concerning a difpute about a relief
due from Thomas, fon of Laurence Claufton, n,
12 H. IV. it appeared from ancient evidences, that
19 E. I. Reginald, fon and heir of William de St.
Martin, was charged with fifty marks for his relief
for his father’s lands, &c. held of the king, viz. a
third part of the barony of William Walrond, which
Joan de Nevile, grandmother of the faid Reginald,
had for her purparty ; that 33 E. I. John de Ingham
was charged with 50 1. ' for the relief of Oliver de
Ingham, heir of Albreda de Boterelles, for a moiety
of the faid barony, which Walter de Walrond held
of the king in chief, by an entire barony. He was
fucceded by his three daughters : Crecilia the eldeft,
married John de Monmue, whofe fon and heir John
died without ilfue. Albreda, the fecond, married to
John, father of Walter, father of Oliver de Ingham,
and on his deceafe, to Reginald de Boterelles. Joan,
the third, married to William St. Martin. John
Monmue the fon, dying without ifiue his purparty was
reftored to Albreda and Joan, his heirs. Oliver de
Ingham paid 50 1 viz. fifty marks for the relief of his
purparty, and twenty five marks for the purparty of
John de Monmue, which was reftored to him t. E. II.
Oliver, fon and heir of John de Ingham, was charged
with fifty marks for relief of his barony, and Reg.
de St. Martin held the other moiety of the inheritance
of Joan, the other heir of William Waldron. 10 E, }1.
William de St Martin acknowledged the fervice of
one knight’s fee for a moiety of the barony. 8 E. I!,
it was found that Reg. de St Martin held at his death
this manor, the manors of Avene and E. Grymelted,
c. Wilts, of the king in chjef, by barony ; and the
manors of Obeton and Wardore, of other lords.
j 2 H. IV. Thomas Calfton held a purparty of this
manor falling to him by the death of Laurence de
St. Martin, of the king in chief, by fervice pf a
fourth part of a barony, viz. of Walrond. He paid
for his relief for this manor 1 1 1 1. 13 s. 4 d. Henry
Popham, the other coufin and heir of Laurence de
St. Martin, was charged in like manner for his relief
of the other fourth part. The other moiety of the
barony was held by the Inghams, or their defen¬
dants,
N. B. The barony of Dean, of which this place
was anciently a member, was not in Gloucefterikirp,
as Mr. Coker fays, where the Walerans had no
pofleffions, but in Wilts •, E. and W. Dean in that
county being part of the eftate of that family, and
one of them probably the head of the barony.
6 H. HI, John de Monmue held Sutton, Fifehide
and Pidel, [f. Bardo!veJlon\z. 41 H. III. John de
Munmuth held Piddle Bardolfefton, and the manors
of Langford and Grimfted, c. Wilts a. 47 H. III.
Joan de Nevile at her death held of the king in chief
at Sutton thirty librates of land by fervice of on6
third of a knight’s fee ; alfo fix librates of land at
Pidele [Bardolfefton] of duke Alured de Lincoln,
by fervice of half a knight’s fee ; William dp St.
Martin, her next heir, cet. 32 s. 20, 21 E. 1. this
manor was held by William de St. Martin, kt. of the
king in chief, by fervice of finding a man in the
king’s army, 7, 8 E. II. Reginald de St. Martin at
his death hyld this manor of the king in chief, as
parcel of the barony of Dene, by the gift of Nicholas
de St. Mauro, to be held by him and Eve, formerly
his wife, and their heirs ; Laurence his fon and heir
mt. 23 a. 12 E. II. Laurence de St. Martin, at his
death, held this manor of the king in chief, as parcel
of the moiety of the barony of Dene, by knights
fervice ; Joan ret. 6, and Sibyl mt. 2, his daughters
and heirs*. 20 E. II. Laurence de St. Martin held
here half a knight’s fee, which Brngin^ld de St.
Martin formerly held. 23 E. III. Sibyl, who was
wife of John Stures, held at her death the inheritance
of Laurence de St. Martin, in dower, this manor as
before, parcel of the barony of Dene; Laurenqe de
St. Martin her next heir, mt. 30*. 8 R. II. Laurence
de St. Martin held this manor as before, and had
licence to enfeoff.
It is difficult to reconcile fome of thefe, records,, By
the inquilition, 12 E. II. Laurence de St. Martin. left
two daughters and heirs : but by the records before
cited, 20 and 23 E. Ilf. it is evident he had a. fon
of the fame name, who is ftyled an idiot, and left his

S. W. from Silton. It derives its name of Wefton from
its oppofite fituation to fome adjacent place on the
E. Buckhorn or Buckthorn feems to be a corruption
of its more ancient one, Bokere Or Bokern , which it
probably derived from fome Saxon owner, as it did
that of Wejlon-Mandevile from its other lords*
In Domefday Book k, two Weftons occur. One of

N. B. Geoffrey de Mandevftc, as fir William Dug-

BRADFORD-ABBAS, .
in fome maps G/^«-Bradford*
This village lies near the borders of Somerfedhire
on the North Weftern extremity of the county, on
the S. bank of the river Ival. It takes its principal
name from the broad ford over the river, and its
additional one, from its ancient lords the abbots of
Sherborn. A. D. 933 King Alfred gave lands here,
'and at Wefton, to the church of Sherborn. Dug-
daLe 4 fays, that king Athulfus gave Bradford to that
church. Kmg Ethelr^d in his charter of ordination,
A. D. 95$, recites among its pofleffions 10 caflates
at Braden,fof(J,
In Doraefday Book ff, the bijbop of Salijbuty held
Bradeford : it conlifted of ten carucates, worth 10 1.
King Henry 11. a^ r. 2* confirms a compolitien be-,
tween George, abbot of Sherborn, and Richard, fon
of Hildebrand, concerning lands here and in Corif-
cumba, by which, on the death of the laid Richard, all
Bradford ancl Cprifcumba, of which he feems to- have
been leftee, or to have held them by uluspation, Ihould
return to the church of Sarumh See Corfcomb.
After this it Came to the abbots of Sherborn : for
pope Eugenius III. in a bull dated 1145, confirms?
inter alia this vill to the abbot. Alexander. 111. by
bull dated 1163, confirms to Clement abbot of Sher¬
born inter alia the manor and church of Bradeford,
he. By inquifitio.11 fans date, it was found that the
abbot held the vills of Bradford, Thornford, Comp¬
ton, Stawil, and Woburn, of the king in chief by
barony and fervice of two knights in the king’s army
40 days at his own charge. In the book of knights,
fees in the exchequer, by inquifition taken before
John de Kirkeley the king’s treasurer, this vill belonged
to the abbot, who held it of the king in chief by
barony. 18 E. I. the abbot had a charter .for free
warren in this manor. In 1293 the lands of the
abbot here were valued at 1 1 1. 2 s. 6 d. s 20 E. II.
he had a patent of confirmation for this vill.
In this abby it continued till the diffolution, when
31 H. VIII. this manor and that of Wyke (except
the reflory, and advowfon of the vicarage of Bradford)
lands called Trill in Clifton, and meffuages and lands
in Eft-Mill in Bradford, belonging to Sherborn- Abby ;
alfo lands, &c. here belonging to the priory of Cann-
ington c. Somerfet, value 8 s. per annum ; paying for
the land in Bradford, Eftmill, and Clifton, 65 s. 2 d.
and for the lands of Cannington priory 10 d. were
granted to John Horfey. 31 Eliz. the premifles, ex¬
cept Trill, and the lands of Cannington priory, were,

and land in Eftmill, 3 b 6s. for Wike manor 37 s.
for lands in Sherborn 1 5 1. h 1 1 Car. I. a tenth part
of this manor and lands here were granted to John

LONG-BURTON,
a large parifli Htuated near three miles S. E. from
Sherborn. Neither this place nor its members,
Holneft, and Lewfton, occur in Domefday Book. They
were prcbably furveyed in Sherborn, which was its
mother church for feveral ages : and this feeins to have
been the cafe of feveral villages in the environs of
Sherborn, which are not mentioned in that furvey.
It belonged however very anciently to the fee of
Sarum, and was probably before, part of the lands

that they had viewed and divided the ellates into two
equal Ihares or lots, which divilion was confirmed
abfolutely 12 May, 1731.

BISHOPS-CANDEL,
Or Cande l-Ep i scop i.
This village receives its name of diftinftion from
its ancient lords, the bifhops of Salifbury. It lies
about three miles N. E. from Long-Burton.
It does not occur in Domel'day Book, either amongft
the lands of the fee of Sarum, or the abby of
Sherborn, fo that it feems to have been included in
the furvey of Sherborn. There are in that book,
nine manors or parcels ol land furveyed by the name
of Candel, but there are no marks of diltinction to
afcertain any of them, except Purfe-Candle. However
this place very anciently belonged to the bijhop and
chapter of Salijbury. In the book of knights fees in
the Exchequer, taken before John de Kirkeley, the
king’s treaiurer, this vill was held by the bilhop of
Sarum, in chief of the king by barony. In 1293, the
lands of the bifhop here were valued at 13 1. 15 sf.
A computus of the prepofitus of this vill 17 H. VIII.

which belonged anciently to- the noble family of lhe
Wakes1, delcended, as Mr. Coker, informs us k, from
a branch of the lord Wake of Lydel, in Cumberland.
32 E. I. it was found not to the king’s detriment
if he granted leave to the abbefs and nuns of
Shafton to hold [jetinere] and ’have to them and
their fucceffors for ever the manor of Stui' e- Culin,
Eflover and Weftover, which they lately acquired in

The return to the' commiftlon, 1650, was, that the
parfonage was worth 70 1. per annum. Sebaftian
Picfield, an able preaching minifter, was incumbent,

a little village, lituated about a mile S. W. fiom Bi-
fltop’s Candel. It receives its additional name from
its low and marfhy fituation, and was formerly , as
many other vills hereabout, part of the parifh .of
Sherborn j but now and long fince diftm6l and m-
dependant from it. In Domefday Book it cannot be
diftinguifhed from the other Candels. Though it
does not then occur among the pofieffions of the ab¬
bey of Sherborn, or of the bifhop of Sarum, yet it
appears that that bifhop was. at leaft lord paramount
here very early.
The heirs of Ralph Bret held one knight’s fee in
le Merfne of the bifhop of Sarum, tempore incerto.
23 E. III. Ralph le Bret held lands in le Pdarfh, Stoke
. and Crokern Stoke, and the forefterfhip of
the foreft of Blakemore z, which office was very
early enjoyed by this family. 10 H. IV. Ralph Bret

partite grants to Humphry Stafford fen. chev. Wil¬

Fyfhyde-Nevil, and Lydclinch, and Chamberlaynes
mill in Byre ; a mefluage in Stunninfter-Newton ; a
clofe in Bakebere, called Pufclecroft, to hold to them
and their heirs, of the capital lords of the fee ; on
condition that they fhall feoff him and his heirs of the
premifes, or any other perfons, according to his will,
when required. Teft. Nich. Latymer, John Faunt-

This ancient family, who were poffelfed of fevcral
eftates in the vale of Blakemore, and of whom we
have a very flender account, feem to have been ex-
tin£l about this time ; for we find their eflate here to
have belonged to the Fitzwaiyns of Sturton-Candel.
2 H. V. Ivo Fitzwaryn at his death held lands here
and at Antioch, of the bifhop of Sarum, and the ad-
vowfon of St. Peter of Candel-Marfh of John Arun¬

it to the lords Stourton, whofe fucceffors we are not

The family of the Byrtes (of whom we have no

This family came originally out of Glouceftcrlhire,
dr Somerfet, as' the Baroriettage s, and were denomi¬
nated from a place in Gloucefterfhire. During their
refidence there, by marriage of Ifmyn, daughter to fir
John Rawleigh of Nettlecomb, the family became
related to Woodvill lord Rivers, lord Hungerford,
lord Molineaux, the Trevillians, Newtons, and feveral-
of the moft confiderable families in the Weft of Eng¬
land. The firft we find mentioned is Peter Hanham,
father of Ralph, father of Peter, who was lord of the'
manor of Exton c. Somerfet, 13, 16, 22 E. III. Peter
his . fon was of Exton 16 E. III. 1347, whofe fon
William of Horfmgton, c. Somerfet, was the anceftor
of this. line, which was the elder branch of the family
now. feated at Winborn-Minfter. In 1645 Thomas
Hanham' s eftate here, valued 1641 at 120 1. per an¬
num, was fequeftered. Not long after, this' branch
of the family became extinft.
The farm here, probably the fame that belonged
to the Hanhams, was purchafed by John Hojhins, efq.
defeended front Roger Hofkins, c. Hereford, vi'ho
fettled at Broad-Windfor in this county, and was
anceftor of the Long-Bridy and Beminfter families h.
Tn a Subfrdy Roll relating to this parifh, Mrs. Vrfula
Hofkins occurs 1661. John , the firft of the family
that was feated here, left it to his nephew *, elder
brother of Peter Hofkins of Marfh, efq. who dying
without iflue male, on the death of his relift, a daugh¬
ter of Seymour oi Hanford, who furvived him many
years, it defeended to the daughters and coheirs of
Peter Hofkins beforementioned.

U P-C E R N E.
This little vill, now almofl: depopulated, lies very
far detached from any part of the hundred to which
it belongs, about a mile and half N. W. above Cerne-
Abbas, from which fituation it receives its additional
name. In Domefday Book b the bifnop of Salifbury
held Obcerne : it confided of four carucates worth 10 1.
R.obcrt held it of the bifhop.
This manor feems to have been divided into two
moieties, one of which belonged to the bifhop of
Salisbury, the other to fome lay lord. Obcerne be-
forementioned was the bifhop’s moiety, the other is
lofl in a variety of places furveyed in Domefday Book
under the common name of Cerne. But the bifhop
in procels of time feems to have been little more
than lord paramount.
Percy’s Moiety of the Manor.
A very ancient record fans date informs us, that
Henry le Percy held one fee in Upccrne and Folke,
in chief of the bifhop of Sarurn, and Hamond de
Percy half a fee here, of the faid Henry. By another
record fans date, Walter foil of Hammond de Percy, kt.
gave Henry de Pidele, his heirs, &c. two marks of
lilver yearly, de mann mea et bered. mcorum, to be
received at Upcerne in free marriage with Johanna de
London, his niece, to be held by them and their heirs
for ever ; witneffes, Dom. Henry de Mileborn, kt.
Rad. Bardolph, Robert de Pidele, clerk, William
Peytevin, &c. In the book of knights fees in the
exchequer, t. E. I. by inquifition taken before John
de Kirkeley the king’s treafurer, Henry de Percy
held a knight’s fee here and in Folke, a moiety of
which in Upcerne was held of him by John de Percy :
Henry held it of the bifhop of Saturn,. who held it
of the king in chief by barony. 5 E. II. John de
Percy, and Agnes his wife, held this manor ot Roger
Percy, by fervice of half a knight’s fee l'. 20 E. HI.
Henry de Percy and William Fltzzvaryn, held a
knight’s fee in Upcerne and Folke, formerly held by
the heirs of Henry and John de Percy. 20 II. VI.
Ralph Bnjhe, efq.held this moiety, of Walter Hunger-
ford and Thomas Beaufhine, as of the manor of
Folke, in focage : the other of the biffiop of Sarurn
as of his manor of Sherborn in focage . John
Carent held half a fee here for his wife’s life, lately
belonging to Ralph Buffie, and before to Hamond de
Percy, of the bifhop of Sarurn. Buffie feems to
have been leffee under the heirs of the Percys and
Iiaddons.

who held one moiety of Conftantia, who was wife of
Henry de la Rivere, kt. as of his manor of Folke,
and the other of the bifhop of Sarurn. Hence it
came to the lords Stourton. 14 Eliz. this manor, and
a moiety of the manor of Melbury-Ofmond, and
advowfons late belonging to Roger Stourton, efq. and
Charles lord Stourton, were granted to John Mar/he
and Francis Greneham , efq. and their heirs. N. B. 41
Eliz. this manor in the patent rolls, is faid to be
granted to fir Walter Razvleigh, and 8 Jac. I. to
Charles prince of Wales, but this feems to be an error
of fome tranferiber, and relates to a rent payable out
of the farm, hereafter mentioned. Not long after
14 Eliz. the farm came to the Mellers of Little-Bridy,
who, towards the dole of the laft century, alienated
it, with the advowi'en, to Nicholas Cary of Flackney
c. Middlefex, efq. whence it came to his fon Nicholas,
who was fheriff of this county 1715, whofe fon
Nicholas Cary, efq. afterwards pofieffed it, and it now
belongs to 'Thomas Strode Cary, his fon.
N. B. During the time the Haddons, &c. held
thefe two moieties, they feem to have been united.
Out of this manor or farm was formerly paid a yearly
rent to the bifliop of Sarurn. 2 Jac. I. being worth

NETHER-COMPTON.
This little vill lies about two miles N. from Brad¬
ford Abbas. The etymology of Compton is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon Comb, or Cumb, a valley
lurrounded with hills, and Ton a town or vill. It
receives its additional name from its fituation with
regard to Over-Compton. Anciently it made part of
the parifh of Sherborn.
This place does not occur in Domefday Book, or
at Ieaft cannot be diftinguifhed from the other Comp¬
tons in this county : but as it is not found among the
lands of the fee of Sarum, or of the monaftery of
Sherborn, it was probably included in the furvey of
Sherborn or Over-Compton. The bulls of pope
Eugenius III. 1145, and of pope Alexander III. 1293.
mention it amongft the pofleffions of Sherborn abby.
In 1293, the lands of the abbot here pro warda
were valued at 1 6 s. 8 d. u In the book of knights
fees by inquifition taken before J. de Kirkefey, the
king’s treasurer, the vills of Compton and Stawil
were held by the faid abbot. In a renovatio cujhanarii
in the regifter of Sherborn abby, the manor of
Nether-Compton is mentioned n R. II.; and the
tenants of Childonlond in that manor are faid toow?e
fuit at the abbot’s three weeks court. 35 H. VIII.
this manor and advowfon, parcel of Sherborn abby,
were granted inter alia to fir John Horfey,
S T A W E L,
a little farm, about a mile S. E. from Nether-
Compton, feems to have belonged to the abby
of Sherborn as early as Compton, but the name does
not occur in Domefday Book. 18 E. III. the king
grants free warren to the abbot of Sherborn in his
demelne lands at Stovel ; and in a renovatio menfuus
of the lands and manors of the abby 19 E. III.
Stawrel occurs. 35 H. VIII. the capital mefluage
and farm of Stawel in Nether- Compton, with the
works and cuftomary lervices of the tenants and
Wyfiners clofe, belonging to Sherborn abby, were
granted to fir John Horfey .
The Church.
In Dean Chandler’s Regifter it is faid to be a
chapel dependant on the church of Sherborn, and
dedicated to St. Nicholas.
I
The R E c T O R Y
is not mentioned 1291. In the modern valor it is
rated at 7 1. 18 s. i-Jd. The tenths are 15 s. 9^d.
It is a peculiar of Sarum, and a difeharged living,
value 46 1. The ancient patron feems to have been
the abbot of Sherborn, but fince the dilfoiution,
the patronage has been veiled in the lords of the
manor. T16 Eliz. a penfion of 46 s. 8 d. payable
out of the reffory to the prebend of Sherborn, was
granted to fir John Horfey for thirty years in reverfion.
n Jac. 1. to Robert earl of Somerfet , and 14 Jac. I.
to fir John Digby,
The return to the com million in 1650 was, that
the parfonage was worth 60 1. per annum. Tire cure
was fupplied by a man, as yet altogether unfit for
the miniftry ; fome of the profits are paid to him,
fome to a godly minifter adjacent, and fome are de¬
tained by fome of the pariffiioners. Their minifter
had 40 1. per annum for his Hilary. They had no
chapel.

OVER-COMPTON,

a little village fituated at the northern extremity
of the county, on the borders of Somerfetlhire, three
quarters of a mile N. E. from Nether-Compton. Over ,

OVER COMPTON.
Regiffer takes no notice of its dependency on Sher-
born *.
King Athertus gave Cumton, eight hides, to the
abbey of Sherborn. In Domefday Book Contone is
furveyed amongft the lands of the abbey of Sherborn,
whofe abbot was lord paramount, and under him the
Hawys and Stradlings held as mefne lords. It is
uncertain whether Nether-Compton was not included
in this furvey, or rather in Sherborne, of which
parilh it was afterwards a part : it then confided of
eight carucates worth 6 1. The bull of pope Euge-
nius III. 1 145, mentions Compton fuperior, and parva
Compton; and that of pope Alexander III. 1163,
Compton, and the other Compton, with their chapels,
tithes, &c. among the poifellions of the abbey of
Sherborn.
Not long after, it came to the ancient family of
Hazvy , who flourifhed here and perhaps in Somerfet,
before the date of ancient evidences. In the book
of knights fees, by inquifition before John de Kirke-
ley, the king’s treafurer, it was found that John
Hawy held half a knight’s fee here, of the abbot of
Sherborn, belonging to his barony.
Julian , foie daughter and heir of Thomas Hawy,
t. E. I. brought this manor and that of Alfreyands,
and Hawy, c. Somerfet, to her hufband, fir Peter
Stradling, the eighth of that family, which had its
extradtion from a people called Ealterlings or Ofter-
lings, who dwelt near the Baltic Sea z. Sir William
le Etlerling, the firft who came into England, was
one of the twelve knights that accompanied Robert
Fitz-Hamon, earl of Gloucefter, to the alfiftance of
Judin ap Gorgant, king of Glamorgan, againd prince
Rhefe, about 1090: and the laid earl, on rhe death
of Rhefe, turning his arms againd Judin, conquered
his dominions, and divided them among his fol-
lowers, in recompenfe for their fervices. This fir
William had for his fliare the cadle and manor of St.
Donats c. Glamorgan; See. which till lately was
the principal refidence of his defeendants. Sir Robert
the fourth from fir William abbreviated his name to
Stradling. Sir Edward, 17 E. III. was one of the
knights of Somerfetfhire, and with his colleague had
12 1. allowance for thirty days expence in coming
to the parliament, daying and returning. In right
of his wife Wentliana, fider and heir to fir L.
Berkrolls, and daughter to fir Roger Berkrolls, by
his wife, one of the coheirs of Pagan de Turbervil,
lord of Coiti, he had the lordfhip of E. Orchard, c.
Glamorgan, which was given by Robert Fitz-Hamon,
to fir L. Berkrolls, one of the twelve knights that
attended him ; and alfo part of the inheritance of
the Turbervills, another of thofe twelve knights. But
the cadle of Coiti, on failure of the male ilfue of
the Berkrolls, devolved to Gamage and his heirs male,
by lpecial entail.
Edzvard Stradling, lord of Compton Flawy, did
homage to John, abbot of Sherborn, at Uverateler
1314, and acknowledged he held it of him by a
knight’s fee, as is contained in the charter of the laid
abbot to Thomas de Hawey, and gave to the abbot
1 00 s. for relief, and 10 1. for arrears of fervice,
from the time of John de Penbrigg : and had remitted
all tranfgredions and arrears of fervice, except of the
lad fervice done by John de Penbrigg, 7 E. II.
Edzvard Stradling, lord of Compton Hawey, did
homage to John Frith, abbot of Sherborn, at his
manor of Wyke 1363, 28 E. III. for one knight’s
fee, and paid 100 s. for relief. a 31 H. VI. Ed¬
zvard Stradlino; at his death held this manor of the
abbot of Sherborn : alfo the manors of Halfway and
Combe-Hawey, c. Somerfet ; Henry, his fon and heir,
ret. 30 b. 20 E. IV. dame Joan Stradling at her
death held this manor as before, and the manors
of Comb-Hawey and Plall'way ; Edward her fon and
heir, cet. 40 b. Sir Ehomas Stradling lived t. H. VIII.
and married Catherine, daughter of fir Thomas Ga¬
mage of Coiti, by whom more of the Turberville
efiate came into that family.
As nothing occurs more concerning this family
relative to this county, I {hall refer the reader for a
more particular account of it to the Baronettage ;
and only obferve, that John Stradling, efq. was
created a barouet 22 May, 1 6 1 1 . Sir Thomas, the
laid of the family, dying without ilfue, it became
extinct; and in 1755 an aft palled for the fale of
part of his efiate, c. Somerfet and Glamorgan, for
difeharge of incumbrances, and for the divifion and
fettlement of other parts thereof.
The feats of this family were at St. Donats Cafile,
and E. Orchard, c. Glamorgan ; their place of fe-
pulture was fometimes in the church of the Friers
Preachers of Cardiff, and afterwards in the chancel of
St. Donats, about 1537. Their remains were after
1573, removed to a chapel annexed to that chancel,
built by fir Edward Stradling, where they were after¬
wards interred.
As it does not appear that this family had any
concern here for fome time before the Reformation;
it lhould feem they were only leffees here under the
abbot, and that their leafe expired before the dilfo-
lution ; for 35 H. VIII. this manor and advowfon*
parcel of Sherborn abbey, was granted to fir John
Horfey. Flence it came to the Abingtons.

In 1291 it is ffyled a chapel, as it is in Dean
Chandler’s Regiffer 1409, where it is faid to be founded
in honour of St. Michael , and that the inhabitants
buried at Sherborn. Pope Martin V. by a bull dated
1431, wherein he recites that Sir Edward Stradling,
lord of Compton Hawy, alias Over-Compton, in the
jurifdiftion of Sherborn, and the parilhoners, had re-
prefented that the chapel had all parochial rights
except fepulture, and ufed to bury at Sherborn,
on account of the diftance and waters between the
two parilhes grants them licence to bury in their
own church yard ; the bilhop of Sarum, in purfu-
ance of the bull, orders a penfion of I2d. per annum
to be referved to John Pedyl, vicar of Sherborn.

In 1291, the chapel, as it is ftiled, was rated at
ten marks, among thofe livings that belonged ad

In Dean Chandler’s Regiffer it is faid that the abbot
of Sherborn, and lady Katherine Waterton, probably
a relief of Hawys who remarried, were patrons by
Hugh Waterton, kt. pa¬

FOLKE,
a fmall parifti, fituated about a mile W. from
Candel-Marlh, and in former times part of the
ancient parifti of Sherborn. It now conlifts only of
the farm and parfonage houfe, and two or three
more near the church. In Domefday Book it does
not occur, becaufe probably included in the furvey
of Sherborn. This manor was and is divided into
two moieties.
The Bifliop of S arum’s Moiety, now Mr. Chafin’s.
This and the other moiety anciently belonged to
the fee of Sarum ; but were fo alienated from it, that the
bifhop feems to have been only lord paramount. In
the book of knights fees in the Exchequer, it was
found by inquifttion taken before John de Kirkeley,
the king’s treafurer., that Henry de Piercy held a
knight’s fee here, and in Upcern. 20 E. III. Henry
de Piercy held the fame. About this time it belonged
to the Had dons, lords of Sturton CandT ; for 35 E. III.
Alianor, wife of Henry de Haddon, held it of Philip
Fitz- Paine, as of his manor of Folke, and 2 H. V.
Ivo FitzWarren held a moiety of Upcern, of Con-
ftantia, late wife of Henry de Ry'vere, kt. as of this
manor. After this it came to the Hunger fords', for
an ancient deed fans date tells us that lord Hunger-
ford held half a fee in Folke, of the bifliop in chief,
which Henry de Percy held. Leland fays h, “ That
Bichardus Brut, feodary of Blackmore, dwellyd at
Folke, and yet do.” Perhaps they might be leflees
here under lonie of thefe ancient lords. After the
Hungerfords there is a long interval in which we
can find no account of the lords of this moiety, till
24 Eliz. it was granted to John Afoley, raafter of the
Jewels ; foon after which it came to the Chafns, and
was perhaps purchaf d by them of Aflieley. 35
El iz. Thomas Chafin held at his death this moiety \
In 1645, a chief rent of 4I. payable by Mrs. Chafin
to the bifliop of Sarum was fequeftered. In this
family it ftill continues, and was formerly their place
of refidcnce and burial, till they removed to Chettle.
Mr. Coker fays K, they built a new houfe here in his
time.
A fubftdy roll 1661, gives this account of the
poffeffors of this vill. “ Thomas Chafin, efq. infant :
“ the heirs of Edward Mullens, efq. ofWefthall:
Fauntleroy, fen. andjiin. efq. of Fauntleroy Marfh :
“ John Forefter, gent, leflee of Alvefton.”
The Moiety anciently belonging to the Hunger-
fords, now to the dean of Sarum.
20 H. VI. Ralph Buflie held the manor of Upcerti
of Walter Hungerford and Thomas Beaufhine , as of
their manor of Folke. 23 FI. VI. Thomas Reverie ,
fon and heu of Ihomas Beverle, and confin and heir
of Henry de Percy, releafes to Walter Hungerford,
knt. his right, in the moiety of this manor and ad-
vowfon of Folke1. 27 H. VI. Walter Hungerford ,

and advowfon, of whom unknown : the manor and
caftle of Farley Hungerford, 8cc. Robert Hunger-
ford, fen. knt. his fon and heir, mt. 40 '. 38^ H.

lord le Warre, and Edmund Hungerford, knt. made
over to Thomas Pray , Sec. a moiety of this manor and
advowfon, which they had lately by the gift of Robert
lord Hungerford11. 13 E. IV. William Wewjhyn ,
efq. releafes to John Davyfon, dean of Sarum, all
his right in the manor of Folke, and a moiety of the
advowfon, which Walter lord Hungerford purchafed
lately of William Rous n. This moiety, with a moiety
of the advowfon, ftill belongs to the dean and chapter
of Sarum.
The Hungerfords were a very ancient family in
Wiltfhire. Their chief feat was, t. R. II. or before,
at Farley-Caftle, in that county, where their defen¬
dants reftded L. Walter lord Hungerford above-
mentioned was the only one of this family who had
any concern in this county, and had many great
polls and employments from 3 H. IV. till his death.
Margaret, relift of Robert lord Hungerford’s fon (who
died 37 Fi. VI.), daughter of William lord Botreaux,
about 1471 gave a moiety of this manor, with the
advowfon of the church inter alia, to maintain a per¬
petual chantry of two priefts to celebrate divine fer-
vice every day in a chapel by her newly built conti¬
guous to the chapel of the Holy Trinity in the cathe¬
dral of Sarum, ordered by her hulband’s will to be
built for his fepulture, on which Ihe removed his body
into a marble vault there, he having been before in¬
terred near the altar of St. Ofmund. Walter, the
laft lord Hungerford, who pofTeffed the remains of a
very great eftate, was attainted in parliament for
high crimes, and beheaded on Tower-Flill 31 H.
Vill. after which none of his defendants were fum-
rnoned to parliament. The place of fepulture of this
family was in the chapel abovementioned, at the E.
end of the N. ifle of the cathedral of Salifbury, and
in another fmall chapel at the upper end of the
nave, oppofite the pulpit, now known by the name
of the Cage ; of both which it may not be amifs to

At the upper end of the S. wall is an imperfect infeription commemorating a bifhop (probably Beauchamp) and James Goldeweil, dean
of Salifbury, dated October 13, 14 . - On the fame wall is a curious and tolerably well-preferved picture of a man, large as life, drei’e
in the habit ot the times, a (hort doubler, flalht breeches, piked fltoes, a high hat and feather, a fluff in his left hand, his right held up
in terror and affiight at the fight of Death, who is approaching him in a fhroud, holding an hour glais.

ALVESTON,
Aljlon vulgo Afon,
a manor, farm and hamlet, fituated a mile N. E.
from Folke, and confifting of about ren houfes. Dr.
Thoroton derives Alvefton, olim Eanulfcjlon or FEl- '
fejlune , from Eanwulph , a Saxon lord. By a cuf-
tumary of the manor 14 R. IL Nicholas Fauntleroy
held half a' virgate of land here, paying to the lord
5 s. S d. per annum. 6 H. IV. it appears by a court
roll of this manor to have been poffefled by Baldivyri
Thornhull. In a fubfidy roll t. H. VIII. “ Decehna
“ de Alvefton, Peter Fontleroy in bonis 20 1. in
“ fubfid. 20 s.” About 1660, the Forrejlers firft
were leffees, and afterwards bought fome lands here
in fee : the laft of this family married Bridget,
daughter of Henry Seymer of Hanford, efq. by
whom he had a fon, who died young, and a daughter
married to Mr. John Foot of Chalk, c. Wilts. But
the manor went down through many defcendarrtS of
the Fauntleroys, the laft of whom devifed it to Mr.
George Cooper of Sherborne, who fold it with Faunt-
leroy’s-Marlh farm, to the truftees of the late Thomas
yifcount Weymouth, and it now belongs to the prefent
‘lord.',
Church-LanOs. 18 Eliz. twenty -fix acres of land
hete belonging to Sherborn abby were granted to
John Marjh and his heirs.
r P.
Butterwike,
anciently a manor, now-a hamlet, fcattered up anddown
the common, and tying about a. mile S. from Folke.
We have little account of it in ancient records, but
it feems to have belonged to the monaflery of Sher¬
born. 25 Eliz. John Harrihglon had licence to
alienate lands called Butterwike in Folke to Edward
Petty , See. and the, heirs of Petty. 39 Eliz. this
manor and lands here were held at his death by
James Hanham , efq.
Fauntleroy’s Marsh,
anciently a manor, now a farm, fituated near half a
mile N. E. from Folke. It formerly belonged to the
bilhop of Sarum , who always continued lord para¬
mount of it. Mr. Coker p fays, “ This place was
“ named from the Fauntleroys, men of no meim an-
“ tiquity, and, if you underftand the name, of equal
“ delcent; who long fince feated themfelvcs in thefe
“ parts by an heir of Walleys, and whofe ancient
“ houfe is ftill owned by their offspring.”
Tradition fays that this family had their name of
L’Enfant le Roy, which Mr. Coker hints at, from be¬
ing the natural iffue of fome of our kings ; but we do
not find afiy traces of fuch relation. -Mr. Falle, in
his Hiftory of Jerfey, p. 106, 107, fays, “ That
Geffery Wallin or Welch, fignieur of St. Germans,
Haodois, and other fiefs in that ifiand, was {lain ih
"the battle of Barnet, on the part of Henry VI. ; for
Which his eftate was feized, but, t. H. VII. ordered
.to be reftored to John Fauntleroy his next heir.”
But we meet with very little account of them, except
that their names frequently occur in ancient deeds
from the time of Edward III. and Richard II.

John Fauntleroy, efq. who died 1698 without
ilfue, gave his eftate by will to Mr. Gwr^ Cooper ;
but it was claimed, and the validity of the will con-
telled by the heirs of Mary, daughter of William
Fauntleroy, efq. who married William Ridout, and
by the heirs of James, fifth fon of William Fauntle¬
roy, efq. who died in Barbadoes 1695, and left a
fon and two daughters. After feveral years contro-
verfy this fuit was given up ; but the eftate was fold
1707 to John Conyers, efq. the truftee for Thomas
vifcount Weymouth , to whole heir it now belongs.
Of the family of the Fauntleroy s feems to have
been William Fauntleroy, of New College, Oxford ;
admitted D. D. 1506; and commilfary or vicechan¬
cellor of that univerfity, from 1506 to 15 14. He
was brother of Elizabeth abbefs of Ambrefbury, and
probably rettor of Lidlinch in this county from 1527
to 1537. One of the fame name and degree was
warden of Higham-Ferrers, c. Northampton.
Here was the ancient feat of the Fauntleroys, a
pretty large, low, and very grotefque piece of build¬
ing, entirely of Hone, and perhaps one of the mod;
ancient houfes in this county.
»
W est-Hall,
anciently a manor, now a farm, near Folke to the
S. W. We have very little account of the lords of
this place. An ancient record, fans date, informs
us that John Herring held one knight’s fee in Weft-
Hall, and did homage to the bilhop of Sarum for it.
John Fauntleroy, Ralph Bret, efqrs. Thomas, fon of
Hugh Wefton, and William Coulard, of Weft-Hall,
occur in a deed 14 H. VI. In Mr. Coker’s time %
“ it was a lone houfe, the principal feat of the Mul-
£C lins r, of ancient defcent in thefe parts,” who feem
to have been feated here t. H. VIII. or before. 1
E. VI. £ Thomas , fon of Thomas Mullens, efq. had
his livery. 37 Eliz. Henry Molyns, efq. died 20
Nov. feifed of the manor of Weft-Hall, held of
the bilhop of Sarum, as of his manor of Sherborn,
by fuit of court, val. 61. ; alfo the manors of Bag-
bere, Eaft-Eype, and Pul ham ; Thomas his fon and
heir, ret. 21s. About the middle of the laft century
this family ended in an It ei refs, who married Thomas
Chafe, efq. who dying alfo without ilfue male, his
coheirelfes or their reprefentatives fold it to the rev.
John King , rettor of Glanvills-Wotton, who lately
polfelfed it.

The Church.
In 1291 it is ftiled a chapel, and faidto belong ad
communia de Sarum, and to the mother-church of Sher¬
born. In Dean Chandler’s Regifter, 1405, it is faid
to be a chapel dependent on it, and that its principal
altar was confecrated in honour of St. Laurence. Here
is the place of fepulture of the Chafins and Mullins.
The infcriptions on their monuments could not be
procured.
The Rectory
is a peculiar of Sarum. In 1291 it was rated at fix
marks and a half ; in the modern valor at 9 1. 12 s. ^pd.
The tenths amount to 19 s. 24 d. The ancient pa¬
trons were the lords of the two moieties alternately.
Margaret lady Hunger ford gave a moiety of the ad-
vowfon to a chantry in the cathedral of Sarum, which,
at the dififolution of chantries, was probably given to
the dean and chapter ; who, and the Chafins , have
fince the Reformation prefented alternately.
The return to the commiftion, 1650, was, that the
parfonage was worth 40 1. per annum, fupplied by a
preaching minifter, who received the whole profits.
But, after the deceafe of Ralph, brother of fir George
Horfey, late of Clifton, the great tithes of three ham¬
lets in this parilh, Alwefton, Butterwike, and ,Weft-
Hall, were taken from the parfonage, being recovered
by a verdift at common law againft the parfon by fir
John Fitz-James, deceafed ; who at the trial entitled
the late earl of Briftol to thofe great tithes, as be¬
longing to the prebend of Sherborn ; fo that the
great tithes of thefe three hamlets were held by a
compofition during the life of Mr. Horfey, there be¬
ing only the great tithes of Folke-farm and Fontle-
roy’s-Marfh properly belonging to the parfonage.
They had a commodious new-built church, and no
chapel.

John Wadham, efq. probably one of the Catherflcn
family, was patron. About 1661 it belonged to
Thomas Chafe , efq. of Weft-Hall, and Hugh Hodges,
efq. and not long after to the lords Digby. Henry
lord Digby is the prefent owner.

is mentioned in no valor, but anciently belonged to

The Vicarage

The patron always has been, and flill is, the lord of
the manor. It is a peculiar of Sarum.
The return to the commifllon, 1650, was, that they

L I D L I N C H,
3 large village, fituated about three miles and a half
E. from Bifhop’s-Candel. Mr. Coker fays a, that it
takes its name from the brook Lydden, on which it
Hands. The anonymous author of a defcription of
fome places in Dorfet, 1579, in the Cotton Library,
gives this account of this vill : “ From which place
“ (i. e. Sturton-Candel) efte is feted the noble ma-
“ nor of Lidlinch, with a very good benefice, and a
“ fatte, endewed with a bewtifull houfe and a good
“ parfon named Why tel : and lerned that the lord
“ and patron thereof is John lord Sturton : and
“ there are no arms in the churche, but only on the
<c fteeple . the lord Sturton’s is placed
“ with Stafford, as I take it.”
The name of this place does nor occur. in Domefday
Book, nor any like it 5 fo that it mu ft have been part of
the ancient parifh of Sherborn, and included in the
furvey of it, or its ancient name is now loft. Certain
it is that the bifhop of Sarum was lord paramount
here.
The records of this parifh are involved in fome dif¬
ficulty. They do. not inform us, with any precifion,
whether the manor was not divided into two moieties ;
nor do they diftinguifh between the real lords and
the leffees, and fometimes feem to confound this ma¬
nor with that of Lidlinch-Baret. Under thefe uncer¬
tainties we can only pretend to give the feveral lords
in the order pf tirpe that they occur.
Upon the whole it is pretty evident that the Fitz-
warrens (and perhaps their anceftors the Haddons)
and after them the Ckidiocks and Stourtons, were the
principal lords of this vill. In later times the manor
feems to have been extinguifhed, and the parifh can¬
toned out into many freeholds.
In the book of knights fees in the Exchequer, by
inquilition before John de Kirkeley the king’s trea-
furer, t. E. I. Roger de Plumbere and Roger deGeretre
held here a knight’s fee of the bifhop of Sarum, and
he of the king in chief by barony. By a record fans
date, Roger fil. Roger and Reginald de Crefcey held
here one knight’s fee equally divided, in chief of
the bifhop of Sarum. 20 E. III. Henry de Beauboys
held here half a knight’s fee, which Henry de .
formerly held, for half a lmall fee of mortaign. 20
E. III. Walter de Howlegh had a grant of this manor
and wood of Lidlinch, and licence to enclofe it, and
a charter of free warren b. 2 H. V. Ivo Fitzwarren
held this manor of the bifhop of Sarum.. By a record
fans date, John Chidiock , chev. and the heir of John
Beauboys held here one knight’s fee equally divided,
which was lately Roger Fitz-lloger’s and Reginald de
Sercey’s, of the bifhop of Sarum. 28 H. VI. John
Cbidlock held it as before. By another record, fans
date, William Stourton, chev. held a knight’s fee, as Chi-
diock and Beauboys did before, which belonged for¬
merly to Fitz-R.oger and de Sercey. 35 H. VI. David
Serving-ton held it. In another record, fans date, he
is faid to hold here half a fee, late John Beauboys’s,
in chief of the bifhop of Sarum ; and was probably
leffee under the Stourtons. 35 Eliz. Thomas Chajin
at his death held this manor of the bifhop of Sarum
in focage, and i2d. rent, and fuit to the hundred
court of Sherborn. In 1645, lord Stourton’s old rents
of this manor, cum mombris Hide, Heydon, and
Ramefbury, val. 48 1. per annum, were fequeftered.
In 1646, the old rents of a manor here belonging to
Mr. Chafin, and thofe of another manor belonging
to Mr. James Hanham , were fequeflered. In 1645,
Nicholas Fill , a commiffary, had his efface here and
elfewhere fequelfered, value 1641 120I. per an¬
num. Henry Dcvenijh , efq. colonel WUliamjbn, and
fir William St. Shiintin, were fince proprietors here.
Mr. Chafin is flill lord of a manor and patron
here.
In this pari fir was formerly feated a family of fome
note and antiquity, named Romayn , now extinft.
The laft of them was fheriff of this county 1 697.
They were probably leffees under the Stourtons, In
a fubfidy roll 1661, relating to this place, thefe
perfons are mentioned; Ann Fill widow, Richard
Romain, Nicholas Ilomaine, per leafe.

parcels, one of which was held by Suain, one of the
king’s thains, and by Radulph of him it conlifted of
three carucates, once worth 30s. now 60s. The

manor, or lands here. 7 H. VI. Thomas Monteacute
earl of Sarum , and 8 H. VI. Richard Monteacute,
held one fee here. After this it came to the Williams’s
of Herringfton ; for 3 E. VI. John Williams, and
11 Eliz. Robert Williams at his death held this manor
and 4 melfuages and 1040 acres of land, and 20 s.
rent here, and in Lidlinch, Holbroke, Rufliton near
Woolbridge, and Fifehide, held of the king and
queen, as of the caftle of Cranborn, parcel of the
dutchy of Lancafter k. In this family it continued,
and came to John third fon of fir John Williams of

was fold by his heirs to Charles Brune of Plumber.

LILLINGTON,
a little village fituated one mile and half S. E. from
Thornford, which feems to derive its name, according
to Dr. Thoroton, from the Saxon word Lillt&i , i.
little. It does not occur in Domefday-Book, being
then probably included in fome neighbouring place.
It anciently belonged to the bifhop of Sarum , who
always continued lord paramount of it. Mr, Coker d,
gives us the following account of the ancient ftate of
this vill : “ William de Liilington gave a moiety of
“ the manor, as the charter has it, for his foul, and
“ the foul of fir Godfry de St. Martin, his lord, to
“ the priory of Bradenftock, c. Wilts : king John
“was one of the witnefles to, this charter. The
“ other moiety delcended to Walter de Child, and
“ John de Nuton, who married his two daughters,
“ and heirs ; from whom it came wholly to the
“ monaftry.” In 1293, lands here belonging to the
priory of Bradenjioke , were rated at 1 1. But we find
by an ancient charter fans date, that John de Lange -
don and Sithq his mother held part of a fee here.
4 E. II. an agreement was made by fine, concerning
the manor and church of Lynnington, between Roger
de Lynnington and Joan his wife, and John de'Cdi*-
mailesb Perhaps thefe were lefiees under the con¬
vent. •- !u
lift
Since the -di Ablution, Mr. Coker d fays, it came to
the ! Kelways , of great note in Hampfhire.

L I L L I N G T O N.
Robert Kelway of this family was educated at
Brazen Nofe college, or Broadgates hall, then at the
Inner Temple, where he became a barrifter.and in 1552
was made ferjeant at law, and furveyor of the wards
and liveries. He publiihed Reports of caufes of law,
from 12 H. VII. to 28 H. VIII. 1602, fol. s
Robert Kelway, efq. furveyor of the wards and
liveries, was a descendant of ferjeant Kelway: Ann his
only daughter and heir married John lord Harring¬
ton of Exton, who died 1613 h.
From this family it came to the Coles , originally
of Wiltshire. In a Subfidy Roll 1661, Mr. John Cole,
Mr. Laurence Cole, and Mr. Thomas Gollop , are men¬
tioned at this place. Hence it came to the Parrys,
a family of which we have no . account, and of
them it was purchafed by Samuel Whetcomb , efq.
Iheriff of this county, 1717; to whom fucceeded
his fon, Samuel Whetcomb, efq. Iheriff 1747. He
married . daughter of Jacob Allen of Jamaica,
efq.
Dr. John Whetcomb, of this family, was cre¬
ated bilhop of Clonfert and Kilmaduagh, in Ireland,
1735, was translated to Down and Connor, 1741,
to the archbilhopric of Caffils 1752, and died 1753.
The Whetcombs feem to have been originally of
Sherborn, where they occur in the regiifer 1558.
Their arms are, Paly Arg. and S. 3 fpread ea-:
gles O. Creft, a demi eagle, rifing with difplayec!
wings out of a mural coronet O.
The feat of the Whetcombs was an old decayed
houfe, once the manlion of the Kelways, Coles, &c.
It was repaired by the late owner, and in 1738
thefe arms were in it.

Here was another manor, of which we find thefe
traces. Rob. de Compton and Hen. de Bore held, fans
date, here and in Bere one fee, whereof Compton
held two hides of the prior of Brad ilock, and one of
the faid Henry, and lie of the bilhop of Sarum.
John Barct and the heirs, of Will. Everard held fans
date one fee here and in Bere [HacketJ, which lately
belonged to Rob. Compton and Hen. de Bere. The
heir of Job. Baret held here half a fee, which was
Rob. de Compton’s. 6R. II. Roger Folvil of Clonne
held here, and in Bere-Hacket, 1 meffuage, 1 caru-
cate, and 25 acres of land, This manor afterwards
came to Selbie and Abington. Whetcomb at length pur¬
chafed the whole.'
The Gollops of Strode had an eftate here. Ralph,
feventh fon of Thomas Gollop, efq. formerly pof-
feffed it. He died without iffue, and it ft ill belongs'
to the family.

BaILY-RiDGEa WoTTON-WHITriELD.
Stockbridge,
Baily-Ridce,
a farm fituated about one mile and a half S. from
Lillington, belonged to the ancient family of the
Streches , who were originally feated in Somerfetlhire,
but had feveral concerns in this county. 3 E. III. John
Streche held, in right of Eliz. his wife, r meffuage,
90 acres, 15 s. rent of affize of free tenants and
natives of Athelrefton, c. Somerfet. 20 E. III. John
Streche held one knight’s fee in Wambroke. 28
E. III. John Streche held the bailiwick of the hun¬
dreds of Ridelane, Uggefcomb, Gouderthorn, Tol-
reford, Divelifhe, Bynedon, St. George, and Eker-
den. 14 R. II. John Streche, knt. held the fame,
and leveral manors, &c. c. Devon h. It was found
not to the king’s detriment to grant licence to John
Streche, knt. to give the capital bailiwick of Dorfet,
and the bailiwick of the hundred abovementioned,
held of the king by homage and fealty, to Roger
Manyngford for life l. 14 11. II. he held the manors
of Milborn St. Andrew and W. Parle2. 6 H. V.
John Streche of Milborn St. Andrew at his death
held no lands in this county ; but John Chidiock, knt.
was feifedin demelhe, as of fee, of one carucate and
20 acres of land at La Baylye juxta Yatmyffer, arid
granted it to the faid John Streche and Joan his wife,
for their lives. Afterwards the faid J. Chidiock re¬
leafed to them and the heirs of John Streche all his
right in the lands. Afterward Joan died, and John
Streche feoffed Will. Bedmont, Sic. who being feifed
as before, feoffed A/ex. Lynd, &c. who now hold
thefe lands, which were held of the bilhop of Sa¬
rum,- as of his manor of Sherborn, by fervie'e of
five pounds of wax yearly at Candlemas. Thefe
lands were worth fix marks per annum clear; Tho¬
mas, his fon and heir, 38 years old '.
N. B. As this gentleman veiled his efiate ill truf-
tees, he probably gave it to the alms-honfe at Ware-
ham, of which he is the reputed founder, and to
which it ffill belongs.
This family feems to have become extinft foon
after; for 14 II. VI. Katherine, wife of Hugh Lut-

OBOURNE,
Woburn ,
a little vill, fituated about a mile N. E. from Sher-
born, and feems to take its name from the little river
or bourne Teo or Too, on which it ftands. It very
anciently belonged to the church of Sarum. K. Ed¬
gar gave Waburnham , five hides, to the church or mo-
naftery of Sherborn m. In Domefday Book n, the bi-
lhop of Sarijberie holds Woeburne : it confifted of
four carucates, worth 4I. This manor was de vittu
monachorum de Sherborn. A bull of pope Eugenius
III. 1 1 45, mentions the vill and tithes of Woburn
and a chapel there, and the church of St. Mary
Magdalen near the caftle, with two chapels. In
another of pope Alexander III. reciting and confir¬
ming the polfefiions of the abbey of Sherborn, 1302,
the manor of Woborne, with the chapel of the faid
vill, and lands and tithes there are mentioned. In
1293, lands here belonging to the abbey were va¬
lued at 4I. 13 s. 4d. ; and lands belonging to the
facrift of that houfe were valued at 3I. 16s. 8d.
In the book of knights fees in the exchequer by
inquifition taken before John de Kirkeley, the king’s
treafurer, this vill was held by the abbot of the king
in chief by barony. 18 E. I. the abbot obtained a
charter for free warren in this manor, which was
confirmed 8 E. III. In the ledger book of Sherborn
abbey in the Cotton library is a long and minute
account of the cuftoms and lands in this manor, 1 1
and 19 R. II.
After the Dilfolution this manor, parcel of Sher¬
born abbey, was granted to Richard Baker , efq. and
Richard Sacvil lent. ; which laft, the fame year had li¬
cence to alienate to Richard Angel and Margaret his
wife, for their lives, value 1 4 1. 7 s. 8 d. 12 Eliz.
it was held by Tho . lord Buckhurjl, who had licence
to alienate to Clem. Si/ley and heirs; but it feems
afterwards to have reverted to the Crown ; for 14
Jac. I. it was granted inter alia to fir John Digby ,
and is then faid to have been poflefled by fir W. Ra¬
leigh. It now belongs to Henry Lord Digby.
In this parilh Gonville and Caius College in Cam¬

. This vMj though it belongs to this parilh, is con-
tiguous to the E. part of the town of Sherborn, to
which it feems a fuburb. It is a ftreet near a mile
long, at the E. end of which ftands the caftle,
whence it receives its name. It has a diftinft jurif-
diftion and privileges from Sherborn, and a feparate
market on . Here is a fair kept Aug. ' ,
and alfo a market for cattle held weekly on fhurfdays
near the caftle, from the firft Thurfday in December
to the firft Thurfday in Lent.
This vill was anciently a manor, and ftyled a bo¬
rough, and belonged to the bifhop of Sarum. In a
court roll of the manor of Sherborn, 17 H. VIII.
John Lite and Will. Uvedale, bailiffs of the burgh
of Caftleton, accounted for the market here,

The Chapel
is a chapel of eafe to Obourne, and was dedi¬
cated to St. Mary Magdalen 1405, as dean Chandler’s
regifter. It is very neatly oeled and pewed, and con-
fifts of a body and two files. It firft flood near the
caftle, a little to the E. of it ; but being fallen down
it was removed hither, and rebuilt by fir Walter
Raleigh. On the N. E. fide of the caftle lies Maud¬
lin’s dole of fix acres, mentioned in ancient deeds, in
which perhaps the old chapel flood. In 1714, it was
rebuilt by William lord Digby, and enlarged, partly
at his own charge, and partly by fome fubferiptions,
and was re-dedicated as before, and confecrated Sept. 7,
1715, by bifhop Smalridge. He alfo in ^^aug¬
mented it with 200 1. Its real value is 7 1.
In the N. file are inferiptions for Mr. Tho. Pran -
kerd gent, who died 30 July 1737, in the 80th year
of his age; alfo for Margaret his wife, who died
1702, set. 31; for Thomas, their fon, fellow of
Wadham college, Oxford, who died there 1717, set.
31, and for feveral others of this family.
In the S. file is one for Mr. 'John Beaton , who
died 1717, aet. 57.
The return to the commifilon 1650 was, that the
parfonage of Caftleton was worth 61. per annum.
Davy Ford, a preaching minifter fupplied the cure.
The caftle of Sherborn, the lodge, and the feat of
lord Digby, lye in this vill ; but will be treated of
in the town of the Sherborn.
The Church of Obourne
was anciently a chapel of eafe to the mother church
of Sherborn ; but is not mentioned in the valor 1291 .
In dean Chandler’s regifter 1405 it is ftyled a cha¬
pel dependant on the church of Sherborne, and de¬
dicated to St. Cuthbert ; and it is there faid, that the
abbot of Sherborn had the privilege to collate and
indutt aparfonto it on a vacancy.

The Parish and Town of
S H E R B O R N.
The parifli is very large, about three miles and a
half in length, and two and a half in breadth, and
was much larger in ancient times, when it included
fcveral neighbouring vills that are now diftinft: and
independent parilhes. It confifts chiefly of arable
and fome meadow. The foil is chiefly a loamy fluid,
in fome places ftony, called here Stone Rujh. Here
is good blue marie, but in fmall quantities.
The town was of great note and antiquity in the
Saxon age, when it was called Scipabupn or Scipe-
bupn : by William of Malmfbury and Brompton
Schir churn, S chir bourne : by Huntingdon Syrebkrn or
Scyr churn. It derives its name from the Saxon Scipe,
i. e. clear, pure ; and bupn, a fpring or fountain ;
whence, in ancient Latin records, and by the mo-
naflic hiftorians, it is ltiled Fans Clams or Limpidus.
It is fituated in the vale of Blackmore , cn
the N. W. confines of the county, bordering on
Somerfetfhire , ten miles N. from Cerne Abbas,
feventeen from Dorchefter, xoo computed and 118 *-
meafured miles from London, as Ogilby, and ex¬
tends 3 furlongs on the great road from London to
Exeter, which pafl'es through it, as does that from
Waymouth to Bath and Briflol.
It lies in 2° 39' W. longitude, as Adams, and 510
T latitude: or 20 35' W. longitude, 510 6' latitude,
as Salmon; on the N. fide of the rivulet or brook that
runs by it, and, as fome will have it, bears its name,
but according to others is a branch of the Tco or loo.
Its fituation is pleafant, partly on a declining hill
and partly in a vale, and by its fcuthern ex-
pofure, very fertile. The buildings are old, generally
of ftonc, and not very regular or lofty, having
been fo fortunate as to efcape great fires, to which
fome towns owe their regularity and beauty : but of
late years feverai neat houfes have been built in the
modern tafle. It is 2 miles in circumference, and,
including Caflleton, is the largeft town in the county,
and the molt populous, except Pool. It contains
514 houfes, and in 1755, here were 2764 inhabi¬
tants. From the regifter of the baptifms, marriages,
and burials, in feverai periods of twenty years each,
we may form fome conje&ure of the number and in-
ereafe of the people,

N. B. The marriage* by jufliccs of peace during
the civil wars were not regiftered.
We have little reafoti to imagine this place had
any being or was of any note in the Britilh or even
in the Roman times, as no traces of either of thefe
people appear in the name of it, nor any barrows,
coins, or forts which fee in to relate to them. Mr.
Baxter3 will have it to be the Arianus or Arailus of
Ravennas, or as the Vatican edition erroneoufiy reads
it, Aramu's. He derives it from Arian iiifc, Argent eus
Fluxus Aqua, or Fons Clarus, and imagines the true
reading to be Arganus from the Greek 'AcyAvU, which
imports the fame thing.
But early in the Saxon times it was a place of note:
for here Ina, king of the Weft Saxons, fixed an
epiicopal fee, A. D. 704. Fabian and fome of our
hiftorians affert that it was burnt by a detachment
oftheDanilh army about 1 103, on Sweno’s deltruc-
tive march from Exeter to Old Sarum and Wilton,
in which he deftroyed and plundered all the- country
he palled through: nor is it improbable, ctn-
fidering the vacancies in the lift of bifhops and
abbots, that the town, abbey and cathedral were laid
in ruins by a people who were remarkable for their
hatred to religious places.
The removal of the bifhop’s fee, firft to Wilton
and afterward to Old Sarum and Salilbury, feems
greatly to have afte&ed this place ; for our ancient
hiftorians make little mention of b, except what re¬
lates to the caftle, during the wars between Maud
the! emprefs and king Stephen, and the late civil
ware. In Malmfbury ’s and Matthew of Weftminfter’s
timeb, it had not recovered itfelf, or thofe hifto-
rians had imbibed fome prejudices againft it, or
never faw it ; for the former fays-, the village
of Sherborn was neither agreeable by number of
inhabitants, or by pleafantnefs of fituation, and that it
was matter of wonder and reproach that an epifcopall
feat fhould continue there fo many ages.
In Leland’s and Camden’s time it was the mod fre¬
quented town in the county, and its woollen manu¬
factures turned to the bed: account : but it fubfifted
moftly by all manner of trades jointly. Leland
gives this account of it c. “ The town of Shirburne
“ ftondith partely on the brow of an hill, partely in
“ a botom. I efteem it to lak litle of a 2 miles in
“ cumpace. It ftondith partely by making of clo:h,
“ but molt by al maner of craftes : and for a dry
“ toun or osher, faving Pole that is a litle thing, I
“ take it to be the belt toun at this prefent tyme yn
“ Dorfetfhire.” A note added to this paflage by
Hearne fays, “ the compafs- of Sherborne is nere four
“ miles, and the proceflion groxvnd about 1 3 miles.
“ The town is above a mile long every way.”

Since the Reformation, the cloathing trade is quite
loft, inftead of which, before 1700, making of
buttons , haberdafliery wares and bone lace ,
employed a great many hands; but thefe branches
are now removed into the North, chiefly to Man-
chefter. At prefent the markets and fairs, and the
paffengers from London to Exeter, See. are its chief
fupport.
About 1740, a filk-throwfter fettled here, and
erected mills on fir Thomas Tomb’s plan. In 1756,
were employed 500 hands, and in a few years 800
may be employed. Some are alfo engaged in the
woollen and linen way.
11 H. III. a market and fair were granted here d.
a 3 H. HI. a market, and 24 Id. III. a fair was
granted here e. 28 E. I. the bifliop of Sarum had
a grant of a market and fair here f. 15, 1 6, 1 7. R. II.
John bifhop of Sarum had confirmation of a charter
for a market and fair here
52 LL III. John de Bel accounted to the king for
the iifue of the bifhopric of Sarum, then void, from
15 Dec. 47 Id. III. tojApril 6. the fame year, before
he delivered it to Walter de la Wile, canon of Sarum,
ele£ted bifhop. Among other things he accounts for
6 1. 10 s', for the farm of the Port Gabel of Sherborn,
and the market de termino Natal. Ghrifli h.
Here are four fairs kept yearly, viz. on Holy
Thurfday, July 7. St. Thomas Beckct’s day, O. S.
or 1 8 N. S. kept on the green : on July 15 O. S. or
26 N. S. which laft is called Swithin’s fair, and is
kept -in Swithin’s ftreet, the toll of which belongs to
the vicar ; and another in the firft Monday in October,
or Pack .Monday. The tolls of all, except St.
Swithin’s, belong to the lords of the manor. Here
are two markets weekly, on Thurfday and Satur¬
day, of which the latter is the principal, and well
frequented.
19 H. III. 1234, the king fent a writ to the
fheriff of Dorfet, that as he underftood a buchardi-
cum 1 or tournament was agreed on between W.
de Clifford and H. fil. Mathei, on Tuefday after the
feaft of St. Nicholas at Sireburn, per invidiam et
at yam k ; he orders him to take fome knights of the
county, and go on that day and forbid them, buhar-
dare vel tome are L
The affizes were formerly often held here, till
about t. E. IV. but of late only in 1682, and in Lent
1715. They are generally removed hither from Dor-
chefter, when the fmall pox or any epidemical dif-
temper rages there. The general quarter fefllons for
the peace are held here once a year, on Tuefday after
the claufe of Eafter.
3 E. VI. May 12, 1549, this day were the dikes
broken by the common people. Soon after in the fame
year was an infurrettion in the Weft.
In 1611 was a great mortality here"1.
During the heat of this difttraper, from June to
September inclufive, were buried 273 perfons. 4 he
burials in the other months of the year were very
moderate; in none above eight.
In 16 83, rvyelve perfons were executed here for
being concerned in Monmouth’s rebellion, among
whom were Mr. Gliffon of Yeovil, John Savage, and
Richard Hall of Culliton.
1688, the prince of Orange came hither to
Sherbo rne Lodge from Exeter, and was joined in
this town by George prince of Denmark, the dukes
of Ormond and Grafton, lord Churchill, and other
perfons of quality, who deferted king James at Salis¬
bury. After a few days ftay he continued his march
to London.
1709, May id, here fell a remarkable great hail
ftorm, of which fee more in the account of the church.
1761, June 9, a great fhock of an earthquake
was felt here, which extended to Shafton,
Here are three commons called L-enthay-Mead and
Moor ; conflfting of about five hundred acres of
pafture and meadow.
In feveral records relating to this rown mention is
made of vineyards, which occur in Doinc-fday Book
only here and at Durwefton. Vineyards in England,
though now very rare, were formerly very common,
as may be gathered from feveral places which yet
retain that name in divers parts of the kingdom, and
from ancient records, which teftify that great quan¬
tities of ground were allotted for that purpofe to
abbeys for their wine.
William Englebert, a famous engineer, was born
here. Queen Elizabeth, for his fervices 1588, al¬
lowed him a penfion of 100 marks per annum. King
James would not permit him to ferve any foreign prince.
He died 1634 at Weftminfter n.
William Thornton was alfo born here. In 1665 he
proceeded M. A. and fellow of Wadham College ; was
ordained prieft, 1673; vicar ofSouthrop,c.Gloucefter,
1679; principal of Hart-Hall, 1688 ; proftor for the
diocefe of Gloucefter in the convocation that met
1701 ; re&or of Stone in Kent, 1702; and died 1707.
Hart- Hall was in great repute under his government.
He was eminent for inoffenfive behaviour and inno-
cency of life, fteadinefs of principles in church and
ftate, great modefty and humility ; and was excellently
verfed in the fathers, efpecially thofe of the four firft
centuries, which he made the ftandard of judging*
controverfial points between the church of England,
the Roman-Catholicks, and Diffenters.
This town gave the title of baron to fir John Digby,
who was created baron Digby of Sherborn, 16 Jac. L
1618. The honour became extintt on the death of
his grandfon John earl of Briftol, 1698 ; but was re¬
vived 1763, when Henry lord Digby was created ba¬
ron of Sherborn.

barony and fervice of live knights in the king’s army

in this manor, 49 E. Ill ; Nicholas Latimer , and the

William Ruffel held hall a fee here. Thomas Saldon
held two fees here, which William Boffel lately held.
Thomas Golde or Gouldcn held half a fee here, late

The rich and valuable poffeffions of the church of
Sarum in Sherborn and its environs loon drew the
attention of courtiers and favourites. 4 E. VI. the
king recites in a patent that 2 E.VI. John Capon ,
bilhop of Sarum, demifed to Edward duke of Somer -
Jet the manor of Sherborn, with the caftle, and the
manors of Wotton-Whitfield, Burton, Holneft, Yete-
minfter, Candel-Bifhop, Caftleton, Ncwland, and the
hundreds of Sherborn and Yetminfter: now the king
demifes them to fir John Paulet , knt. lord St. John ,
for 99 years. In the regency of queen Mary, bifhop
Capon exhibited a bill in chancery (Nicholas Heath,
archbifhop of York, being then lord chancellor)
t) f
again ft fir John Paulet, {hewing that the ieafe he mad ■
to the duke of Somerfct was by threats and f ffar
ol his life : on which die lord .chancellor relieved
him, and decreed the premifes to the bilhop;
N. B. The duke' of Somerfct had affigned his leale
to iir John hauler.
King Henry VIII. poffefled with the evil fpirit of
avarice and faerilege, diffolved all the monaitcries,
feized on their lands and Hock, plundered their trea-
lur'es, ornaments, and furniture, to fupply his wants
and extravagance, and reward his courtiers, who con¬
curred to effect his defmns.
o
Under Edward VI. the chantries and other reli¬
gious and charitable foundations, the bells, plate, and
ornaments of cathedrals and parochial churches, fell
a prey to the avarice of his minifters, who had feen
and reaped the golden harveft of the general diffo-
lution, and, intent on lucrative views, now extended
them to the lands of bifhops, deans, and chapters :
and fome attempts of this kind began to be made in
this reign.
Queen Elizabeth followed thefe examples. She
was a princefs of many and great virtues, but allayed
with fome of Her father’s ill qualities. Actuated with
the fame fpirit of avarice, facrilege, and rapacity for
church-lands, under colour of frugality of the pub¬
lic money and the privy purfe, fire rewarded her fa¬
vourites and minifters with the fpoils of the church;
made great havock among the lands' of the bifhops,
and deans and chapters, and permitted, or at leaf! con¬
nived at, the depredations of her minifters, which was
one of the greateft blemifhes of her reign. Many
bifliopricks were kept vacant till a perfon was found
who would accept of them on condition of alienat¬
ing fome of the moft valuable poffeffions to fame
courtier ; which fome honeftly refuted, and others
meanly complied with. Some compenfations, but
very unequal ones, were indeed made, by granting
impropriations in exchanging lands ; all which re¬
duced many bifliopricks to inch a degree, that fome
could not fupport a bifhop Editable to his dignity.
Many dignities in cathedral churches were totally
iuppreffed, and their lands alienated and wafted. All
this was effe&ed even under the ' fanftion of parlia¬
ment. Every artifice was employed, and fometimes
violent means were ufed. The biftioprick of Sarum
buffered greatly. The rich manor of Sherborn, and
many lands, &c. in the environs, were alienated from
it. The fee was twice kept vacant fome years in
this reign ; which intervals were certainly employed
to find a fit perfon who would comply with, fir Walter
Rawleigh’s terms. Thefe depredations continued a
great part of this reign, till that worthy prelate arch-
bilhop Whitgift put a flop to them by a feafonable
and fpirited remonftrance to the queen.
It has been oblerved that very few have long en¬
joyed thefe alienated poffeffions, and moft of the pro¬
prietors have died untimely or violent deaths. See

Queen Elizabeth fee ms to have obliged John Piers,
bifhop of Sarum, elected 1578, to leafe Sherborn
and other lands belonging to his fee to her for 99

On the tranflation of bifhop Tiers from Sarum
to York, 1588, there was a vacancy in this lee for
three years ; during wnich time the lands before-
mentioned remained in the crown or its grantees.
Eiihop Coldwel fucceeded 1591 ; who, 34 Eliz. 1592,
granted the m mors mentioned in White’s grant (ex¬
cept the manors of Burton and Holneft, and the rec¬
tories and advowfons, which are not mentioned) to the
queen by leafe for 99 years, referving a yearly rent
of 200 1. 16 s. id. to himfelf and fucceffors x. She
conveyed the premiles to fir Walter Rawleigh. It is
laid that the bifhop was furprized into a confent to
this alienation, and never enjoyed himfelf after. On
his death, A. D. 1596, the fee was again vacant
two years. Dr. Toby Matthews fhould have had it,
but he had too much virtue to take it on fir. Walter
Jlawlcigh’s conditions. Dr. Henry Cotton accepting
and performing them, was elected bifhop 1598: on
which Hr Ilenrv Spelman makes this fevere remark ;
“ that the bilhop’s fon, though born blind, was
made canon of Saltfbury, ppffefTed of three or four
parfonages, and yet died a beggar 41 Eliz 1598,
fir Walter Ilawleigh and John Fitz-James furrendered
their relpeclive intereft in the cable, manors, &c.

manor of Upcern (but the hundreds of Sherborn and
Yateminfler, and the reflories, See. are not mentioned)
to bifhop Cotton ; who granted them by indenture
confirmed by the dean and chapter, in fee to the
queen, referving the yearly rent of 260 1. for Sher¬
born, and 60 1. for Burton and Holneft, for ever ;
and fhe conveyed them in fee to fir Walter ilawleigh
and John Fitz-James x. "Thus the total alienation of
thefe lands from the fee of Sarum was completed.
2 Jac. I. the hundreds of Sherborn and Yetminfler,
Sherborn-Barton manor, Pinford and Rimefly manor,
and feveral ftnall parcels of land in Sherborn, New-
land liberty, Caflleton and Woburn, &c. and a li¬

13 Jac. I. the earl had a grant or a confirmation, of
thefe lands ; in which Yetminfler hundred, and th#
moiety of Prunefly manor, and feveral of the parcels
of land before-mentioned are omitted. Honycomb
Wood and Thorn Leafe are faid to be granted for
the remainder of a term of 99 years. Mawdlin’s
Clofe, on the N. E. fide of the caflle, is faid to con¬
tain fix acres. There are leveral other particulars
added to this laft grant ; viz. the office of the keeper
of the park, and the pannage and herbage of it, af-
figned to Ralph Horfey, knt. and W alter, fon of fir
Walter Rawleigh ; St. Andrew’s mills, Haydon wood,
and feveral finall parcels of tithes.
Soon after the earl forfeited thefe lands on
his convitflion for being acceflary to the murder of lir
Thomas Overbury, and 14 March, 14 Jac. I. all or
moft of the lands mentioned in the grants 6, 8, 11,
13 Jac. I. were granted for 10,000 1. to fir John
Dlgby, knt. and confirmed 27 Nov. the fame year.
Carew, fon of fir Walter Rawleigh, made feveral
attempts to recover his paternal eftate. His petition
to the houfe of commons contains fome curious par¬
ticulars relating to the beforementioned grants. He
alledges, that his father’s lands and offices were feized
on his condemnation ; but it was found that his caflle
and lands in Sherborn were entailed on his children,
and that he could forfeit it only during his own life: that
the king gave him all he had forfeited, but kept him
prifoner in the Tower : that feven years after his im-
prifonmept he enjoyed Sherborn, till fir Robert Carr
became favourite, when the conveyance of Sherborn
was queftioned in the exchequer chamber, and, for
want of one fingle word, which yet was found in the
paper book, and was only an overfight of the clerk,
it was pronounced invalid, and Sherborn forfeited to
the crown, and given to fir Robert Carr ; lady Raw¬
leigh and her children in vain petitioning againft it.
Prince Henry defired Sherbourn might be given him,
pretending to like the ftrength and beauty of the
place, but with an intention to give it back to fir
Walter. His requefl was granted, and fir Robert

Carr fadsfied with 25,000 1. ; but prince Henry dying
foon after, the king gave Sherborn again to fir Ro¬
bert Carr, and on his condemnation to fir John Digbw
Mr. R.awleigh, after his father’s death, fpent five
years at Oxford, after which he made an uniuccefsful
attempt to obtain fome redrefs. He afterwards tra¬
velled abroad till the death of king James 1. On his
return he petitioned the parliament to be reftored in
blood, to enable him to inherit his father’s lands.
The petition having been twice read in the houfe of
lords, king Charles fent for Mr. Rawleigh* and told
him he had, when prince, promifed the earl of Briftol
to fecure his title to Sherborn againft the heirs of fir
Walter Rawleigh, for which he had 10,000 1. and
was obliged to make good that promife now he was
king ; and that unlefs he would quit his right and
title to Sherborn, he would not pafs his bill of refto-
ration. At length, being lenlible of the impoflibi-
lity of conteiVmg with the king’s power, and that,
not being reftored in blood, he could not poffefs or
enjoy any lands, he fubmitted to the king’s will.
On this an aft palfed for his reftoration, and together
with it a fettlement of Sherborn to the earl of Briftol ;
and, for fome recompence, 400 1. per annum penfion
during his life, after his mother’s death, which was
paid to her in lieu of her jointure. In order to gain
favour with the parliament he fets forth, that, though
bred at court, he never oppofed any of their jult
rights and privileges, and was refolved for the future
to range himfelf under the banner of the commons of
England, and promifes the fame for his two fons; fo
that he might probably aggravate fome circumftances
in order to ingratiate himfelf. In 1652, 500 1. per
annum out of lord Digby’s eflate, was fettled upon
him z.
I have been informed by Wriothefly Digby, LL. D.
that fir Walter Rawleigh Was allowed his perfonals ;
that his patent was granted with a claufe of revoca¬
tion ; and that he afterwards fuffered a recovery, in
which his lady and fon joined.
In 1650, lady Brooks was tenant to lord Digby’s
eftate in this county at 566 1. per annum. In 1653
was paid out of the earl of Briftol’s eftate to the mi-
nifter of Pool 30 1. 16 s. 2 d. — of Blanford 53 1. 19 s.
4 d. — of Bradpole, 1 5 1. 15 s. — of Sherborn 44!. 1 8 s.

After the alienation from the fee of Sarum, a chief
rent of 260 1. per annum had been paid to the fee of
Sarum. In 1645 it was fequeftered with the reft of
lord Digby’s eftate. In 1648 it was fold to Thomas
Brown , efq. for 2730 1.; but after the Reftoration
it reverted again to that fee. The manor now con-
fifts of 7000 acres, and includes all the other manors
and tithings in the town. Lord Digby holds two
court-leets in the town-hall, at Lady Day and Michael¬
mas.
The Manor of the Abbey.
This manor feems to have contained fome part of
the town, but what part of it is uncertain. After
the dilfolution it came to the Horfeys, and was by
them alienated to lord Digby.

in Woburn and Thornford, of William abbot of
Sherborn. 16 H. VIII. this manor was polfefled by
William lord Stmrton. 2 and 3 Philip and Mary,
Charles lord Stourton held here lands of the bilhop

Stourton’s old rents here, val. 61. per annum, were

Though this town was never accounted a borough,

Sherborn is now governed by two conftables chofen

The Bishopric.
It is the general opinion of ancient hiftoriaris,
founded on a concurrent probability of circumftances,
that St. Paul planted the Chriftian religion in this
ifland, where it flourilhed in fome degree during,
the time the Romans polfefled it, but greatly de¬
clined under the pagan Saxons. Auguftine the monk
firft introduced popery into Kent, about A. D. 597 ;
but he does not feem to have made any progrefs in
any other parts of the kingdom. Birinus an Italian
monk did the fame A. D. 634 in Welfex, and fixed
an epifcopal fee at Dorchefter in Oxfordfhire b : and
as that place was fituated in the kingdom of Mercia,
and remote from the greateft part of Welfex (Handing
very near the confines of Berklhire), it might belong
to the latter ; for the Weft Saxon princes could not
have authority to ereft a fee in another prince’s domi¬
nions. Cenwall, king of the Weft Saxons, divided his
kingdom into two diocefes. A. D. 650 he made Egle-
bert bilhop of Dorchefter, and 660 Winn bilhop of
Winchefter. Eglebert, refenting the partition of his
diocefe, and the preference given to Wina by being
placed in the capital city of the Weft-Saxons, retired
to France, and was made bilhop of Paris ; and Wina
held his bilhopric three years, but in 666, upon fome
difagreement with the king, was difmifled. The
Weft-Saxons remained without a bilhop till in 670

A. D. 705. ALDHELM was a kinfman of Ina,-
king of the Weft-Saxons ; and after laying a foun¬
dation in literature under Scotus at Malmsburv, and
archbifhop Theodore at Canterbury, l'pent his youth
in travel, and vifited the moll: famous tiniverfities of
France and Italy with great improvement. On his
return home he became a monk at Malmsburv,
and after 671, abbot of that monaftery, which he go¬
verned thirty four years. In 705, he was made firft:
biftiop of Sherborn, and was confecrated at Canter-,
bury : but enjoyed this honour only four years,
or, as Malmsbury, fix. For the advantage of his fee
he undertook a journey to Rome, where he had the
courage to reprove pope Sergius for incontinency
Gervafe Dorobernenfis, p. 1640, fays he had TJrbem
Maidulfi, i.e. Scire burn, which is a miftake for Malm f-
bury. He built two other churches to the Virgin
Mary and St. Michael within the precindts of Malmi-
bury abfcy, befides the principal church of St. Peter;
and on thisoccafion wrought a miracle, by lengthning
a beam, which efcaped the two fires that afterwards
deftroyed the whole abbey. lie built alfo a church
at Brivecune, the church at Sherborn, a monaftery
at the mouth of the river Frome, in Somerfetfhire
and another at Bradford c. Wilts. He died accord¬
ing to the Saxon annals, A. D. 709 : and they add
that he was bifhop near Weftwuda, perhaps Welt-
wood in the W. part of Wiltfhire, which was pro¬
bably not the place of his fee, but of his death.
Malmsbury, who wrote his life, fays m that he died
that year. May 25, at Dulting, in Somerfet:, in a
wooden church, which the monks of Glaftonbury
afterwards rebuilt of (lone. He was buried in St.
Michael’s church ", in the abby of Malmsbury. He
was a prelate of great learning, eipecially confidering
the age he lived in. He wrote much in Greek and
Latin, had a good tafte for poetry and mufic, but
excelled in divinity, in which he exceeded any of his
time. By order of a fynod, he wrote a book againft:
the manner in which the Britains celebrated Falter;
and either the weight of his feafons, or the dread of
the Saxon power, had great effedt on thofe people,
many of whom conformed to the Roman ufages-.
He tranftated the Pfalter into Saxon. Two copies of
his book de Virginitate, in the Bodleian Library, have
his portrait. Several of his practical pieces were
printed by Delrio, Mogunt. 1601. 8vo. Several mo¬
numents of his learning are ftill extant ; a catalogue of
which may be feen in Bede, Bale, Pitts, Leland de
Scriptoribus, Cave’s Hiftoria Lfteraria, and Tanner*s
Bibliotheca Britannica.
709. FORDHERE 0 fucceeded Aldhelm 709,
and was cotemporary with Bede, who fays he was
well verfed in the feripture. In 737, as the Saxon
annals, or 738, as Florentius, he went to Rome
with Frithegicha, queen of the Weft Saxons. Pits,
who wrote his life, and ranks him among our writers
without knowing whether he left any writings, calls
him Durotnx , but whether on account of his nati¬
vity or refidence is uncertain.
738. HEREWALDUSP. Le Neve and Dr.
Richardfon make him bifhop here 739. Pie was at
the council of Clovelho, held by Cuthberc archbi¬
fhop of Canterbury, 742 1. He occurs 758 r, and
lubferibed a confirmation of a charter of lands given

not a forgery. He is omitted in the Cottonian!

nearly related to the kings Ethelvvald and Ethelberr,
fons ot Achintus % who had been a pupil \ afuinnus~^

Sherborn. He was a military prelate, and no Jefs
eminent in the cabinet. He reduced the kingdom of
Kent and the Eaft Saxons to the obedience of king
Egbert e • and feeing Aldulf, fon of that monarch, of
a mild and indolent temper, fpirited him up againft the

O F
The Saxon annals add, that he was shifted in this
action by Duke Ofric and the Dorfetfhire-men; but
they do not there mention what fee he was bifhop
of. In 854, upon king Ethelwolf’s going to Rome,
our prelate advifed his fon Ethelbald to take upon
him the government •, and he obliged the father, on his
return the next year, to divide the kingdom with his
fon k. He died 867, having been bifhop of this fee
fifty years *, and was buried at Sherborn, as the
Saxon annals™. According to this account, he muft
have been made bifhop in 817; which is not to be
reconciled with the time of his predeceflor’s death r*.
Leland °, from fome unknown author, fays he was
bifhop forty years, tie poftefied great prudence,
courage, liberality, and love to his country, and much
augmented the revenues of his church.
868. EADMUNDh He was (lain by the Danes,
at Merdon, c. Wilts, 871 * or 872.
872. ETHELEAG r. We have no more account
of him than his name, nor of his fucceffor
ALFSY s, who fucceeded 875,. as Ifaacfon.
ASSEU, called by Tngulphus, Afher, was defeended
of the ancient Britons, and educated at St. David’s r.
He exprefsly tells us u, that Novis, archbifhop of St.
David’s, was his kinfman, and feems to hint that
he fucceeded him : and Giraldus Cambrenfis and
the Cotton catalogue of the archbilhops of St. David’s
{hew that Alfer was archbilhop of that fee, and the fame
perfon who was afterwards bifhop of Sherborn. This
learned man had the happinefs of shifting the literary
purfuits of the great king Alfred x, who repaid the
improvement he received from his converfation by
advancing him to the richeft monafleries of the age,
Ambrefbury, c. Wilts, Banwell, c. Somerfet and Exe¬
ter. Between 872 and 815 he was advanced to this
fee, which was in itfelf a better bifhopric, as well as
nearer to the king, than St. David’s. Some will
have After, bifhop of Sherborn, a different perfon
from him who wrote the life of Alfred, whom feveral
of our hiftorians affert to have died 883 : fo that, un-
lefs we allow two Affers, both bifhops of Sherborn,
thefe hiftorians muft be miftaken. For After exprefsly
mentions himfelf as writing, A. D. 893 ^ : but he
no where mentions his being bifhop of Sherborn,
though he relates feveral particulars refpedting this
town, and even the death of bifhop Ealftan. King
Alfred in his will mentions an After, bifhop of Sher¬
born : and in his preface to Gregory’s Paftoral, calls
him minum bipcop. The time of his death is va-
riouily aftigned, but with mod probability A.D. 909 ;
the Saxon annals 910, commonly placing things a
year later than other writers ; but it muft have been
in the former year, as then archbifhop Plegmund
confecrated leven new bifhops into four vacant and
three new ere&ed fees •, among whom was Werftan,
bifhop of Sherborn. He alfo fubferibed charters 903
and 904*4 Bifnop Godwin, on what authority does
not appear, fays he was buried at Sherborn. But, as
if by a fate peculiar to themfelves, ail traces of monu¬
ments eredted to this prelate and his royal patron
are totally prifhed. Of the writings alcribed to him
by Pits, Bale, Cave, and others, none but the Annals
of king Alfred are his due a.
SWITHELM b. Bifhop Godwyn has another Si-
gelmus, who feems to be the fame perfon with this.
Florilegus mentions one of this name killed by the
Danes, 834*, which Bifhop Godwyn thinks a miftake
for 934. This laft is omitted by William Malmfbury,
the Cotton MS. and all other lifts.
He is faid to have vifited the fepulchre of Chrift,
travelled into India, to the place where St. Thomas
was buried, with large fums of money for the poor
there, in the name of Alfred, and brought thence
many precious ftones, and fpices, which he clepofited
in his church. This might be before his advancement
to this fee. tie was confecrated as bilhop Godwyn,
A. D. 883, as Ralph de D.ceto and Brompton, A. D.
887, as bifhop Ward’s MS. A. D. 889 ; and as the
Chronological Table at the end of archbilhop
Parker’s Antiquit. Britan. A. D. 884. He is placed
in bifhop Ward’s MS. between Ethelbald and Elfred,
934; and omitted in Ofmund’s Regifter. It is
doubted whether he was bifhop ; for the Continuator
of Florence does not mention him in his catalogue of
bifhops, nor Mr. Wharton in his Ang. Sac. v. I.
p. 554. But Mr. Tyrel fays, Wifen or Sighelm, bilhop
of Seyrborn, died 883. He was buried in the mo-
naftery, as the Cotton MS.
ETHELWALD or Ethelward c, is faid to have
been a younger fon of king Alfred, and educated at
Oxford. He died 898 5 and after him the fee was
vacant feven years as Godwyn. Dr. Richardfon
juftly doubts whether he ever fat here ; for it is
very plain that the divifion of the bifhopric wras made
after After’s death, when Werftan fucceeded; and he
juftly excludes both Swithelm and Ethelward, not-
withftanding both are mentioned by Malmsbury d.
During the vacancy of the fee, after the death of
Ethelwald, on account of the Danifh invafions, Pleg¬
mund, archbifhop of Canterbury, ordained feven new
bifhops A. D. 905, of whom three were appointed
to new fees taken out of this, one for Cornwall, one
for Devonfhire, and one for Somerfetfhire, and foon
after a fourth for Wilts, fixed fucceffively at Ramf-
bury. Sunning and Wilton: fo that Sherborn had
only the county of Dorfet and Berks e.
WERSTAN was corifecrated 909, as the generality
of hiftorians, and was killed in battle by the Danes
918 f. The king had juft quitted the field when
the bifhop came up, and never fufpedling any treachery
in an open plain began to pitch his tents, when

BRINWIN r; or Bfithwyn.’
WULSIN amonkofGlaftonbury k,was made abbot
of Weftminfter 958, by Dunftan, then bp. of London1.
But he fee ms not to have lucceeded to this fee before
966, when he fubfcribed a charter of king Edgar,
as abbot of Weft min lie r m ; in which year we may fix
his confecration. How long he fate, hiftoriaos
are not agreed. Bifhop Godwyn makes him die
A. D. 958. If the conftitutions of 998 in the Cotton
Library, Otho A. xviii. afcribed to him, are
genuine, he died 1004; and if he can be proved
to be the fame with Ethelfine, bifhop of Sher-
born, whom king Ethelred lent to treat of peace with
Richard duke of Normandy, A. D. 991, as Mr.
Widmore thinks is not hard to do, he mull have fate
thirty-eighty years. But then what will become of
his feven fucceffors, whofe names only are given by
bifhop Godwin ? If the dates of the deaths of his
three next fucceffors, Alfwold, Ethelfius, and Brith-
winus, be exadl, he mud have diet! long before 1004.
Mr. Wharton in his MS. fays, he held the abbey of
Weftminfter till 998, and probably till his death.
After the example of his patron, he ejedled
fecular priefts in this church of Sherborn, and
brought in monks in their room, by charter of king
Ethelred 998 : on which account he is a great favourite
of our monadic writers, and highly extolled by Malmf-
bury •, though he could not prevail on the monks to
let him appoint an abbot over them.
ALFWOLD. All that we know of him is, that
he died 978, and was buried at Sherborn. Eadmerus
makes him a witnefs to a charter of king Edgar to
Winchefter monaftery, granted 966 ; and Florence
makes him die 978.
ETHELRICUS. We have only his name in
Malmsbury and Godwin.
ETHELSIUS. According to the Hiftory of Ahing-
don abbey, where he was buried, he died 980 °.
Malmsbury makes him the perfon fent to Richard
duke of Normandy, 991 p.
BRITHWIN * died 1006, as Matthew of Weft-
minlter.
ELMER r. He was elected abbot of St. Auguf-
tine’s at Canterbury, A. D. 1006; was made bifhop
of Sherborn 1022 (f. 1012); but falling blind after
ALFWOLD k He was brother to his predeceffor,1
as Malmsbury, and famous for his temperance and
frugality in a luxurious age. Knighton fays, he
was a monk of Winton, in the time of Edward the
Confeftbr.
HERMAN, a native of Flanders, or Lorrain, and'
chaplain to Edward the Confeftbr u. A. D. 1045 he
fucceeded Brithwold at Wilton. On a vacancy of
the abbey of Malmsbury, he petitioned king Edward"
to have this fee transferred thither. This; the king
readily granted, but earl Godwin and the monks got
it reverled. Upon this difappointment Herman re¬
tired into France, and became a monk at Bertin,
to 55, where he Raid three years : but on the death
of Athelwold, bifhop of Sherborn, he returned home,
and was made bifhop of that fee 105 8; which in the
interval had been governed by Aldredy billv.p of
Worcefter x ; who at his return quilted it, and went to
Jerufalem, He foon after prevailed on the king to
annex Wilton to Sherborn, and held the .united bi-
fhopricks, cum tribus pagis fuis i. e. Sherborn, Wil¬
ton, and Sunning. L eland z and Camden call him
bifhop of Sunning. He was the laft .biff op both, of
Wilton and Sherborn ■, for the council at London
1075, having ordained that bifhops lees fnould be
removed from obfeure places to towns of the greateft
note in their diocefes, he trarifiatedffis to Old Sarum,
1076, where he began a cathedral, but did not live
to finifh it. This removal feems to have been made
rather out of favour or partiality, than from the
fmalinefs of Sherborn, which certainly occupied a
greater extent of ground than Old Sarum; which was,
as Malmsbury expreffes it, little more than a caftle.
Herman affifted at the confecration of Lanfranc,
archbiff op of Canterbury, 1071 a, and died 1074, as
the Saxon Chronicle.
The account of thefe prelates is taken from our an¬
cient hiftoriansand Godwin b ; and after all, the lifts do
not agree either in regard to the names or the dates j
many of which are not to be reconciled : and we have
little more than the bare names of eight bifhops, who'
preceeded Herman. Nor is it to be wondered at in
thefe dark ages, when little learning and few writers
exifted. The Danifh invafions deftroytd mod of the
cathedrals and religious houfes, together with their
libraries and records, and difperfed the clergy and
monks that belonged to them.
The bifhops of Sherborn and afterwards of Sarum
held a large extent of land in Sherborn and its en¬
virons. Almoft all the vills in the hundreds of Sher-

A Lift of the Abbots, colle&ed by Brown Willis,
out of ancient records.
In the moft early times of the monaftery, at or foon
after its foundation, a prior, fome times ftiled prapofi-
tus primus and decanus, prefided over the fecular
canons, and when they wereejeifted, over the monks.
F’or where a church was cathedral and epifcopal, the
bifhop was- always fuppofed to be the abbot: but on
'the removal of the fee, and the partition of the
church lands between the bilhop and the abbot, this
houfe became an abbey and the church conventual,
and continued fo till the diffolution. We have no
account, nor even the names, of feveral of the firft:
abbots. . The firft that occurs is

This abbot and his predeceffor were among
thofe abbots who, though they did not
yearly fit in parliament, were looked upon as
fpiritual barons, and had particular writs or
luminous in parliament, or great councils,
23, 27, E. I. and 8, 9, n, 12, 13, 14, E. II.
To him were fubjefl the priory of Kidwelly in
Carmarthenfhire, value 29 1. and the priory of
Llorton s. It appears from Dean Chandler’s
Regifter, that the abbot had power of induction
into fome churches dependant on Sherborn,
though the dean of Sarum had a right of vifita-
tion, and all other ordinary jurifdiftions. Thus
he collated to Woburn.

Leland feerns to have been here more than once,

The Church of Sherborn
Is fituated near the W. part of the town, and
was antiently the cathedral of the bifhops of Sherborn.
On the removal of that fee, it became the conven¬
tual, and on the diftblution, the parochial church.
It is a venerable regular ftruflure, the largeft and
beft in the county, and adorned with excellent
workmanfhip within and without, in the improved
Gothic ftyle, which took place under Henry VI.
the time of its rebuilding. It is built in the form
of a crofs, of good freeftone found near the
town, and was firft eredted by bilhop Aldhelm b,
and dedicated to /ill Saints , as dean Chandler’s re-
gifter. It was the mother church to many chapels
of cafe in this neighbourhood dependant upon it ;
the great tithes whereof belonged to the prebend or
redtory here. Anciently all, or many churches,
near great monafteries, were only chapels of eafe to
the conventual church, in which, or the cemetery
belonging to it they buried ; but ail other church
rites were performed in the refpedtive chapels. This
was the cafe of feveral churches in this neighbour¬
hood, viz. North- Watto.n, Over-Compton, Nether-
Compton, Folke, Haydon, Bere-Hacket, Pymford
Obourne, Candle- Marfh, Burton, Holneft, Lilling-
ton, Thornford, all the chapels in this town, and
perhaps very anciently Yatminfter.
The dimenfions of the prefent fabrick, are as
follow ;
The whole length 207 feet.
Breadth 102.
Height 100.
Length of the nave 1S2 feet by 32, and height 109
feet.
The N. and South iiles 198 feet by fifteen, and
24 feet 3 in. high each.
The tranlept 202 feet long, and 102 wide.
The tower 154 feet high.
The length and breadth 30 feet by 32.
The height of the body, from the paving to the
vaulting 109 feet.
The whole is lupported by 8 arches, over which
are as many large windows on each fide.
In the chancel is an handfome altar piece of
Norway oak, 32 feet broad, and of a proportionable
height. It compofes a pediment lupported by 4
fluted pillars ot the Corinthian order, and was the
gift of the late William lord Digby. Behind the
altar is a vacant fpace or paflage 15 feet broad,
which was probably an entrance into or part of a
chapel dedicated to the BiefTed Virgin, which in
moil cathedral and conventual churches flood at the
E. end of thofe fabrics. Tradition fays, there was
a chapel where the fchool now Hands. In the chan¬
cel ftill remain fome of the monks ftalls, as alfo
at the W. end of the church. The N. and S. ifles
are vaulted with Hone. The nave was not wholly
rebuilt after the fire.
The roof of the nave is for the moft part vaulted
with flone and enriched with mouldings and other
ornaments, among which are
The arms of the abbey.

The N. door now difufed has two niches and a

adjoining.
About 14 H. VI. 1436, this church was almofl
entirely dellroyed by fire; but was rebuilt, in the
three following reigns. By an ordination made
between the abbot and convent of Sherborn and the
parifhioners, it appears that the monks complained
that though, there had been in the body of che church
of the monaflery from its foundation a baptifmal
font in which the infants of Sherborn parifh were
commonly baptized, yet Richard Fowle, Thomas
Draper, John Toker, Walter Paskeley, John Afhley,
and other their confederates, eredted another new
font in the lower part of the church, where the
inhabitants ufed to hear divine lervice, on pretence of
the bells ringing to matins, and of the Hrait entrance
of the door in the wall [murus intermediums'] between
the place of the parifhioners, and the body of
the church. At the proceffion to the font at Eafler
and PentecoH, a contention arofe between the
abbot and monks, and the townfmen. The monks
defiring that the font might be removed to the
ancient place, no one oppoled it, and proclamation
being made for that purpofe, the bifhop ordered the
bell to be rung to matins after the 6th hour, ac¬
cording to the abby clock, the font to be replaced
in the ancient place, the door and entrance for the
proceffion of the parifhioners to the font to be
enlarged, a partition [clau/us intermedius] to be made
in the nave near the choir, that there may be a
diflindtfeparation between the monks and parifhioners.
Dated 8 Jan. 1436, 14 Flen. VI. d The putting this
order in execution was probably the caufe of the
riot that ended in burning the church, of which ac¬
cident Leland gives us the following account:
“ The body of the abbay church, dedicated to
“ our lady, fervid ontill a hundrith yeres fyns, or
“ more, for the chife paroche chirch of the town.

in which thie bodies appeared: entire, but foon moul¬
dered away when.expofed td the air. Two of them,
which contained the bones of the four bodies, were

E. end of the church, on a table of hone fixed in the
wall, is this infeription :
The mercifull and grie.ious.L6rd hath fo done his mar¬
vellous workes, that they ought to be had in
remembrance;
For when thy judgments are abroad in the earth, the
inhabitants of the earth will learn righteoufnefs.
This monument was erected by Mr. Thomas Manfel,
of this town,
in remembrance of a great hail horm, on May 16, 1 709,
between the hours of one and four in the afternoon ;
which hopping the courfe of a‘ final! river welt of

In this church were anciently, no doubt, interred
many of the bilhops and abbots of Sherborn, and the
neighbouring gentry ; but all the memorials- of them
were deflroyed by the Are; at the Reformation, or
during the civil wars, and.; few monuments of high
antiquity now remain. Little more than the names
of the following- perfons, who were interred here,
occur: . . aUicn

Sir Thomas Wyat, knt. the elder, was a native
of Kent, and educated at St. John’s College-, Cam¬
bridge. He travelled abroad with Henry Howard,,
earl of Surry, elteemed one of the fir ft refiners of the
Englifh tongue ; and being by him introduced to the
favour of Henry VIII. he foon became his favorite, and
was employed in leveral embaffies abroad. He was an
excellent poet in that age, and tranflated the Pfalins
of David into Englifti metre. Being fent by the
king to Falmouth, to condud Montmorency the
imperial embafladdr to London, from an excels of zeal
to pieaie the king he made more expedition than was
neceffary, riding hard in a very hot feafon, and died
of a violent fever here, and was buried in the great
church, 1541, net. 38. Epitaphs for him wore Witten
by the earl of Surry, and other learned men. Leland
publilhed a book of verfes called Narnia on his death,
1 542, reprinted in his Itinerary, vol. II. The fecond
elegy therein, intitled Clarus Font, particularly cele¬
brates this town, and contains a brief recital of the
above fads, with others:

In this church were anciently many chantries and
chapels, whofe names and fituation are now unknown.
In the town and parifh were feverai chapels, fome of
which Leland and Willis1 call churches, but they
were really only chapels of eafe to the conventual
church, which was alio parochial, and the mother
church to all the chapels in this town and parilh, and
to many chapels, now called churches, in its environs.
Some few of thole in the town fell to decay before
the Reformation, fome continued till that time,- after
which they were demolilhed.
Leland m mentions the following, all iti the town.
“ Ther was of old time,- a paroch church, titulo
“ S. Emmerentiana, now faullen clene doWne. It
“ (lode on the N* fide of the toun, where now is a
“ plain clofe.”
“ There was a chapelle of St. Michael .vtt the
“ toun, now clene down ". There is a new chapelle
in St. Mary chirch yard, on the S. fide : one
Dogget a cannon of Sare/byre made it of late
dayes.”
“ There was a chapelle dedicated to St. Thomas
Beket, on the grene by the new inn ; it flondith,
but incelebratid.” It feems to be the fame fabric
called the Hofpital or Free Chapel of St. Thomas
upon the green, mentioned in the patents 18 and 19
R. II. 0 In 1405, John Brunyng was reflor of the
chapel de Grene. according to dean Chandler’s re-
gifter. 1 E. VI. this free chapel was valued at 66s.
and in it were two bells, value 26 s. 8d. but no orna¬
ments are mentioned : the late incumbent was Roger
Hord or Horfy, who received the profits to his own
ufe p. 3 E. VI. it was granted to John Doddington
and William Ward.
“ Alhalowes paroch chirche was pullid down
tc alate, and the paroch chirch made in our lady
<( chirch at the abbay q.” Mr. Willis fays, it was
joined to the W. end of the abbey, where are fome
remains of a building. But quaere if thefe are not
parts of the monaltery.
There feems alfo to have been a little chapel be¬
longing to an hermitager of St. John Baptifl, before-
mentioned, of which th'ere are now no remains or
tradition.
The church or chapel of St. Andrew is mentioned
in the bulls of pope Eugenius III. and Alexander III.
and in Broces’s will 1456. Tradition fays, it flood
where the Bridewell now {lands.
St. Mary Magdalen's chapel in Cailleton originally
Hood a little E. from the caftle, after the demolition
of which, it was rebuilt in Caflleton.
The chapels of St. Michael jurd. Probus are men¬
tioned in the bulls of pope Eugenius III. and Alex¬
ander III. to have flood near the caftlc, and feem to
have gone to decay long-before the Reformation.
In the out-parifh there* was a chapel at Overcomb,
and another at Pymfeijd dedicated to St. Thomas
Bechet .

The V icar age.
The rctiory was a prebend of Sarutn, and confe- ^ jlc 'aJucof it is uncertain, and depends much oil
quently became a peculiar to that cathedral, 0.1 its furPllce <«?> vo.luntar>' luWcnptions, and i,l. per

Swithin’s-ftreet on Sr. Swithin’s day, granted by king
being annexed to the abbacy, the abbot became
jure & virtute officii a prebendary, and had a Hall
in the cathedral till the diffolution, when the prebend
became extinft. His Hall was near the de.an, and he
had a prebendal houfe in the clofe*. This prebend
was given by Ofmund, hilltop of Sarum, in the reign of
William the Conqueror, A D. 1091, to the church
of Sarum, viz. all the tythes of the town, except
what belonged to the monks r.
Jofceline, bidaop of Sarum, between 1 1 39 and 1184,
with the advice and content of his chapter, granted to
Henry abbot of Sherborn and the convent this
prebendal church [fo conftituted by bifhop Ofmund]
“ in prebendam, per vicarium prbrum noftri habitus

canons. But here is an exprefs
cuftom in the cafe of this prebend, and it l, could not
indeed be well otherwife: for as the i ft ft r urn fen t fets
forth, it was not granted to the'perfon of the abbot,
but to the monaftery ; and as the body corporate never
dies, there could properly be no vacancy of the pre¬
bend. This may be 'the reafon why. the abbot was
never admitted to. be a proper refidentiary of the
church of SarumTTliough attempts of this kind feem
to have been made, by annexing the prebend in this
manner to the monaftery, and excluding the dean and
chapter of Sarum from the cuftomary profits during
a vacancy, by which the common eftate mud in fom^
degree luffer. To make good this lofs, the monaftery
makes over to the church of Sarum half an hide of
land in the parifh of Winburn in prebendam , and
fubjeft to the rules and conditions of other prebends.
In 1291 the prebend of Sherborn Abbas was rated
at 60 mark's.
16 and 17 Eliz. this prebend, and all tythes. See.
belonging to the monaftery, and yearly penfionsout of
Over-Compton and Nether-Compton rectories, a
portion of tythes in Marfh, and all re&orial tythes in
Tlibrnford and W ike belonging to the (aid prebend,
were granted to fir John Horfey , for 30 years in re-
verfion, paying 51b 16 s. iod. 39 Eliz. the pre¬
bend was demifed to fir Ralph Horfey, from wliofe The queen
family it palfed as the manor of the abbey! In
1645 lord Digby’s prebend here, value 1641 1.
400 1. per annum, was fequeftered. In 1653 the rent
of the prebend 260 1. was referved to the.ftate, out
of which was paid “to the vicar of Long-Burton
2 1. ' 13 s. 4d. to the vicar of North Wotton
51. 6s. 8 d. • '
H. I. for five days, two days before,
and one on the feftival of chat Saint. This enftew-
ment was made 1122, by Roger, bilhop of Sarum.
In 1291 this vicarage, with the portion of the lac rift
in the lame, was rated at 10 marks, and 1534 aC
20 1. 4SV 5 B d .
The return to the commifiion 1650 was, that thd
impropriation was worth 250 1. per annum clear,
which is under feqileft ration. The vicarage 13 1. per
annum, ariiing chiefly out of the lecond o fie rings,
but it is doubtful whether they are now recoverable.
That the minifter was formerly paid by the earl of
Briftol and the townfmen Sol. per annum, the one
moiety for the fum of 560 1. paid to the earl by the
townlmen, rhe other moiety his free gift,by compofition
with thefn for the maintenance of a minifter. But
the whole lum of 80 1. is now in queftion, becaufe
the eftate on which it was charged is under fequef-
tr.ation. The other addition to the' minifter’s Hilary
is by the benevolence of the people, but now grown
very fmall and uncertain.
John earl of Briftol left by will 30 1. per annum
for ever to the vicar, for preaching an anniverlary
fermon on the day of his deceafe. Some of the prin¬
cipal inhabitants railed ioool. and depolited it in the
hands of the mafter and brethren of the almfhoufe,
who pay the intereft to thevicar.

college, 1617, and fellow five years afterwards:
About 1 63 1 , he proceeded B. D. and by the interefl of
John earl of Briftol, was prefented by the king 1632,
to the vicarage of Sherborn, where he was much
followed for his practical preaching. He was
one of the affembly of divines, but never fate amongft
them. He was a zealous Calvinift, and his works ex-
prels much zeal, piety, and fincerity for religion.
He was allowed 44 1. 18 s. per annum, _ out of lord
Digby’s eftate, 1653, in which year he died, and was
buried in the chancel at Sherborn. He bequeathed
to Magdalen College 120I. towards the maintenance

-j- Francis Bamfyld, third fon of John Bamfyld of Pol-
timore in Devon, eiq. was admitted at Wadham college
1631, mt. 16; M.A. 1638, and took epifcopal orders
1641. Fie was prefented to . in Dorlet, and
collated to a prebend in the church of Exeter. He
was then zealous for the king, and publickly read the
Common Prayer longer than any minifter in this coun¬
ty. After Mr. Baxter brought him over to the Par¬
liament party ; he took the engagement, and in 1653
fucceeded Mr. Lyford here. In 1662 he was ejefted by
the aft of Uniformity, and loft his preferments, and
afterwards kept a conventicle here and at London,
for which he was imprifoned the laft ten years of his
life at feveral times. In 1683 he was found guilty at
the Old Bailey of refufing the oath of fupremacy
and allegiance, and died that year in Newgate, and
was buried at the Anabaptifts burial place near Al-
derfgate ftreet. Wood fays, he was very inconftant in
his principles, had been a Church-man, Prefbyterian,
Independent, Anabaptift, and at laft a Jew and Enthu-
fiaftz. His writings were full of the moft unintelli¬
gible bombaft, and in one piccfe he feerris to have
anticipated the Hutchihfonian conceit of deriving all
fciences and arts from Scrioture.
X
J He had been Fellow of Corpus Chrifti College,
Oxford, (but ejefted in the rebellion) and chaplain to'
the Houfe of Commons. Fie was archdeacon of
Middlefcx, and obtained the king’s letters for the
deanry of Exeter, but died before it became void.
|| He was author of “ An Anfwer to a letter of
“ Mr. John England’s of the pairifh of Sherborne,
(( Dorfet, font to Mr. F. B. upon the occafion of his

pallor of the dilfenting congregation here, and
printed the letter which he wrote to Mr. B. to
reclaim him, with a preface in vindication of it by
a friend.
Thomas WinnifFe, D. D. a native of this place,
was admitted at Exeter College Oxford 1593, ret. 18,
and probationer fellow there, 1595. A. M. idoi,
was reftor of Lamborn in Effex 1608, and afterward
bought the advowfon, which he left rp his nephew
Peter Mew, afterwards biftiop of Winchefter. Fie
was alfo reftor of Willinghale D’ou, c. Eftexs
chaplain to the princes Henry, and Charles; and 1634
was made dean of Gloucefter, and chaplain to' king
Charles I. In 1631 dean of St. Paul’s, and 1641
bilhop of Lincoln. He was efteerried a puritan, and
made a biftiop to pleafe that party, yet fullered in com¬
mon with the reft of the order, and got. little or no¬
thing by his bilhoprio but trouble and vexation ; an
inftance hoW little that party valued or rewarded mo¬
deration. He was perfecuted at Weftminfter, and his
houfe afia'ulted by the mob, where their leader fir
Richard Wifeman was killed. He lived to fee his
palace at Lincoln demolifhed, and that at Buckden
plundered, and all the revenues of the fee alienated.
He afterwards retired to Lamborn, where he died
1654, mt» 78, and was" buried under a monument
againft the N. wall of the church there. He was
eminent for his honefty, humility, learning, and elo¬
quence a. His epitaph which may be leen in Willis’s
'^‘ftory of Cathedrals, v. II. p. 69. has this remarkable
pailage : fimus non privation fed pub lit urn : An¬

That here was a caftle very early, perhaps in the
Saxon times, appears from a very old book of
charters made by divers kings and great perfonages
to Sherborn abbey, communicated to Mr. Hearne by a
very skilful antiquary d, which book does not appear
to have been feen, or at leaft made ufe of, by Leland,
Dodfworth, Dugdale, or any of our eminent anti¬
quaries. But when this antient caftle was firft founded,
or by whom, is uncertain ; and alfo whether it grew
into decay, by the injuries of time, or was demo-
lifhed in war. Mr. Hearne therefore luppofes, that
Roger Poure built this on the fame ground on which
the former had been ere&ed, and out of its ruins.
But it is very certain that it had been built or rebuilt
before the reign of H. I. jby bilhop Roger, who alfo
built the caftles of The Devifes and Malmsbury.
11.39 K. Stephen feized this caftle, and the .'other
two which then belonged to the faid bifhop, with
40,000 marks in money',. befides plate and jewels, and
imprifoned the bifhpp till he furrendered them.
This leizure was made bv the king in order to marry
his fon Euftace to Cflnftantia, daughter of the king
of France e. After this it remained in the crown for
two centuries. In 1 143, or as others iiq^theearl
of Gloucester lbrprized Stephen at Wilton. The king
elcaped with difficulty; but William Martel, his fewer
and favourite, was made prifoner and ranlomed for
the . fum of 300 marks, and obliged to give up to
the emprefs this ftrong caftle, of which he was
governourh 1 HerwIIk William earl of Sarum held
this caftle. 41 Hen. III. 1257, the king notifies to the
Sheriff of Dorfet and Scmerfet, that as Nicholas de
Molis was with him in his fervice in Wales, he had
accommodated him with the Corpus of this caftle,
wherein to place his family to St. Martin’s day next.
Richard [Poore] bifhop of Sarum, between 1217
and 12 2 9, acknowledges by an inftrument confirmed by
the dean and chapter, that he had received the caftie
from the King’s hands, to hold it quamdiu domino regi
placuerit , and that he would be ready to deliver it
whenever called upon either by him, or his fuc-
ceflors c.
1258, 42 H. III. this caftle agreeable to the pro-
vifions made at Oxford furrendered to the barons,
and Walter de Bruges was ordered to deliver it to
Stephen LongSpee.
1 277, 5 E. I. Almaric, fon of Simon Montfort, earl
of Leicester, firft imprifoned at Corf, was removed

where he died foon after e.
25 E. II. 1322, the King fent a writ to the Sheriff
of Dorfet, to furnifh this caftle with victuals, and
other neceffaries, out of his bailywick, and to cer¬
tify to the barons and treafurers of the exchequer,
what he Should lay out therein h.

E. HI. biffiop Wyvil brought a writ of right againft
W. Monteacute earl of Sarum for the caftles of
Sherborn and Sarum. The earl pretended to defend
his right by combat ; but when the champions
entered the lift, the matter was ftayed by the king’s
letter, and before the fecond meeting, the parties
agreed by the king’s order, and the biffiop gave the
earl 2500 marks to leave the caftle ro him and his
fucceffors for ever *. It is much to be doubted whe¬
ther Mr. Camden is not miftaken with regard to
the caftle of Sarum, which never leems to have be¬
longed to the biffiop of that fee, and confequently
could not be recovered, though it might belong to
the Monteacutes, as being the capital of their earl¬
dom. This is confirmed by biffiop Wyvii’s inscrip¬
tion in the cathedral of Salisbury, in which only
the recovery of the caftle of Sherborn, and the chafe
of Rere [c. Berks], is mentioned. 29 E. HI. an
indenture occurs between the biffiop ot Sarum and
William de Monteacute touching the caftle of

Nothing remarkable occurs relating to this caftle
till the civil war, when it was one of the fir ft
that was formally befieged by the parliament, and
held out for the king one of the iaft.
In 1642 before the king’s fetting up his ftandard
at Nottingham, the marquis of Hertford, attempting
to raife forces for the king at Wells, was obliged
by fir John Horner and Alexander Popham, to
retire to Somerton, and thence to Sherborn, with¬
out any lofs, and was joined by fir John Berkeley:
colonel A fh bur aham, and ieveral other good officers.
Soon after, the earl of Bedford, Mr. Holies, fir Wal¬
ter Eile, &c. &c. and a convpleat body of at leaft
7000 foot ordered by Charles Effex, their ferjeant
major general, a foldier of good experience 'and re¬
putation in the Low Countries, and eight full troops
of horfe, under the command of capt. Pretty, with
four pieces of cannon, and a lplendid equipage, came
to Wells, and from thence to Sherborn. The mar¬
quis had increafed his foot to 400, with which that
great army was kept from entering the town, and
perfuaded to encamp in the field about three quarters
of a mile N. from the caifle. The marquis had
much diicredited the earl pf Bedford’s foldiery, and
difheartened his army ; fo that, after lying in the field
four or five nights, within lei's than cannon fhot of
the caftle and town (and afeer having refuled to
fight a duel with the marquis who challenged him),
he fent fir John Norcot, under pretence of a treaty,
'and the godly care of avoiding effufion of chriftian
blood, in plain Englifh, to defire that he might
fairly and peaceably draw off his forces, and
march away; the which,’ however reafonabk a re-
queft it was, the marquis refufed, fending them
word, that as they came thither upon their own
counlels, fo they Ihould get off as they could. Upon
this they drew off, and marched a dozen miles for
repofe, leaving the marquis for fome weeks un-
dillurbed at Sherborn. But fearing the earl would
attack him with more numerous forces, he retired
into Wales. Vicars in his Pari. Chron. p. 146— T
149 adds, that the beginning of September intel-.
ligence came, that the earl, defpairing of reducing
the caftle, the trained bands defeating, fo that pf
6 or 7000, but 1500 remained, retired to Yeqvih
The fame day, the marquis, having received a re¬
inforcement of 100 horfe, and coo foot from Tdr.
Rogers the fheriff, advanced 400 horle, and 200
foot to Babe-hill, a mile from Yeovil. The par¬
liamentarians fent out three troops of horfe and
fome foot againft them, who were obliged to afcend
;he hill in three parties to charge them. Some
part of the way was fo narrow that only two could
march abreaft : but the king’s men foon fled, leav¬
ing major Bamfield their commander, capt. Huffcy,
and 20 or 30 flain. Sir Ralph Hopton, capt. Digby,
and fir Francis Holies, with their troops, were there,
with lord Pawlet, fir John Stawel, and fir Johp
Pawlet. The marquis, fearing lord Brook would
join the earl, retired as beforelaid, and the earl fe-
cured the caftle. Oldmixon adds, that the earl of
Bath, fir Henry Berkeley, fir Ralph Sydenham, and
fir Francis Doddington were left behind, made
prifoners, and fent to London.
By a letter figned by the marquis of Hertford,
and the reft of the commiffioners and officers, dated
Sherborn, Sept. 10, ft -appears that the earl of
Bedford lac. down before the caftle. Sept. 2, 1642,
on the N. fide. On the 3d he made an attempt from
the weft part pf th? rdvvp, and on the 4th another,
when he fired l'o.ne houfes. On the "h he fired
from a battery erected on. .the N. fide of the caftle.
On the 6th ch.e fheriff fummoned the county to the
aflidanqs of the marquis, on which the earl broke up,
and marched to Yeovil, where an a&ion happened on
the 7th, in which the parliament forces were repuifed
to the bridge, but receiving a reinforcement, the
marquis retreated to Shgrbor’n without being md-
lefted. The king’s'lofs was about 20 taken or killed:
that of the enemy 80, and 16 horfe si
While the earl of Bedford befieged the caflle,
tradition reports, that the countefs of Briftol his
fiftcr was then at the lodge. He fent a meffiige,
to defire her to quit ir, as he had orders from the
parliament to demolifh it. She immediately went
on horieback to his tent, at the camp now called
Bedford’s caftle, and told him, “ if he perfifted in
u his intention, he fhould find his lifter’s bones
“ buried in the ruins,” and inftantly left him ; which
fpirited behaviour in all probability preferved it.
After the earl’s return to the fiege, the caftle feems
to have held out for fome time; for Bury, the trea-
furer of the county for the parliament, in his ac¬
count, mentions a leaguer from Aug. 8, to Sept.
20. He adds, that 18 1. 13 s. 7 d. was paid to the
Purbeck quarriers hired to flight the caftle ; by which
it feems there was an attempt made to demolifh it.
Feb. 12, 1642, Mr. Strode and other commiffioners
of the parliament were driven hence by fir John
Hele at the head of 100 horfe and 400 foot.
April 19, 1643, marquis of Hertford and lord
Digby, being on their march from Oxford, to Sher¬
born, to raife forces in Dorfet, col. Popham marched
from Wells, to prevent them, and fent a party of
120 horfe and dragoons before him, with orders not
to enter the town, which was a very malignant one,
till he came up ; but they entered ir, made a ftand in
a broad place in the town, and fent for the conflable
fo provide them quarters. The conftable returning,
railed the town before the reft of the party came up.
The officers hearing a bell were told its was a nine
o’clock bell, which they fqfpedted. At the fhambles
thetownfmen to the number of 300, having received
the fire of the parliament troops, attacked them, and
killed Mr. Hugh Popham and capt. Smith. But ac
a fecond attack, with 40 diimounted dragoons, they
were beat out of one part of the town, and in an
hour more quite out of it. During this skirmifh, a
parliament foldier difeharged his piftol into the
thatch of an houfe in the very heart of the town,
and then their forces retired to Yeovil, having feven
wounded and one killed out of 120, and the townf-
men ip killed. Next day the townfmen beat up a
drum for the country to come to their aififtance ;
but in three days col. Popham with 3000 foot and
500 horfe entered the town, and the townf-
itien retired ; on which he gained the town and
caftle h The fequel of their affair is thus related
by the Mercurius Aulicus. Thefe forces, under the
command of colonel Alexander Popham, Edward
,Popham his brother, colonel Strode, colonel Harbin,
and John Brown, efq. fpoiied the town, though the
inhabitants laid down their arms, and then pillaged
the earl of Briftol’s houfe of all the plate, jewels.

a certain fum to lpare them, they took their money,
and then perfiJioufly plundered them, and carried
the owners away priloners, and at their departure,
pulled down the fire bell, and carried their pillage
along with them. In or about this time the caftle
feems to have been made tenable, and pofTeffed by the
king’s party. Bury’s account, Apt il 26, mentions, that
the Dorchefter gunners had been 10 days with colo¬
nel Popham, who items at this time to have re¬
duced it ; for Bury adds, that the garrifon was paid
May 2. We have no account of any tranfaclion here
till 1 645, when fir Lewis Dives was in the caftle,
with his own regiment, and 150 old foldiers, and
fome horle, and was made commander in chief of
Dorfetfhire m.
July 25, 1645, after the battle of Langport, and
reduction of Bridgewater and Bath, fir Thomas
Fairfax refolved next to reduce the clubmen, and
Sherborn caitle, which countenanced and encouraged
them, where fir Lewis Dives, an aftive and refo-
lute foldier, commanded in chief. July 28, he fen t
colonel Pickering, with a brigade of horfe and foot,
to view the caftle, and if there were hopes to reduce
it, to fit down before it. Auguft 1, Fairfax marched
from Wells to Queen Camel, where he quartered that
night. Auguft 2, he and lieutenant general Crom¬
well went again to the lodge, and on a fecond view,
thought the caftle reducible, on which the guards
were drawn nearer, and orders given for a clofe
liege. This was interrupted by a rendezvous of the
clubmen of Dorfet, Wilts, and Somerfet at Shafton
Auguft 2, who were difperfed by colonel Fleetwood.
Auguft 4, Cromwell marched againft two other bodies
cf them, one of which he difperfed, and defeated
the other at Hambledon Hill. Cromwell returning
Auguft 5, a ftorm was intended, but on fecond
thought diverted, recruits coming in flowly and
few. This day a commanded party crept under the
fhelter of a ftone wall clofe by the caftle, and gained
an hay-ftack wiihin a ftone’s call: of the works.
Auguft 6, the befieged made a new work to plant
cannon on, to beat the enemy from the hay-ftack,
but were themfelves beaten off, and their cannon
dilmounted. Fairfax’s iofs in the fervice was four
captains wounded, and one flain. All things were
prepared for a fform, and another fummons was
lent into the caftle, but a denial was returned: where¬
upon a council of war was called, in which it was
reloived, that, as cannon were coming from Portf-
mouth, and excellent miners were to be had from
Mendip, they fhould proceed by approach and bat¬
tery, they being well informed that the ground on
which the caftle flood was mineable. This evening
one of colonel Rainsbcrough’s officers, capt. Horfey,
was fhot dead from one of the towers, ar.d, with
captain lieutenant Flemming (or, as Sherborn regifter,
Clements) of the fame regimenr, who was killed be¬
fore, was the next day buried after a martial man¬
ner in Sherborn church, where captain Horfcy’s
ancestors were entombed. Auguft S, the foidiers
worked in the mines, galleries, and making batteries,
and had is. each by day, and as much by night,
the fervice being hot, and hazardous. AugiiU u,
colonel Pye and colonel Sheffield, with their own re >
giments and 700 recruits, came to the camp.
Auguft 10, the great guns began to batter the wall
between the two lelfer towers, and beat down one qf
them, and before fix at night made a breach in the
wall iarp;e enough for twelve men to'enter abTtaft.
Auguft 11, the whole cannon and pay for the army
came to the head quarters. Auguft 12, the Men¬
dip miners came, and were fet to work. The garrilbn
threw fiery faggots over thefe parts of the wall
where the miners were, and where a bridge was
making over a little riwulet, which burnt part of
the bridge before they could be quenched, but it was
repaired and put over that nighr. A meffage was
fent to fir L. Dives, that he might fer.d out his lady,
or any other woman, if he pleaied. He acknowledged
the favour, and feemed inclined to accept of it, but
gave no pofitive anfvver, expreffing ids refolution to
hold out to the laft. Auguft 13, the cannon and
demi-cannon were planted on the new battery,
where a chief gunner was flain, and another fhot,
from the tower. The miners wrought within two
yards of the wall, where the rock appearing, it was
thought it would give more interruption than it did ;
but it proving a foft ftone, was eafiiy wrought
through. Auguft 14, about 11 o’clock, the great
guns began to play, and before fix, had made a
breach in the middle of the wall fufficient for ten
men to enter abreaft, and had beaten down one of
the towers. The befiegers, while the cannon played
hard on the caftle, wanting fhot, fetched off the
bullets from under the very walls, and had 6 s. for
every bullet. After the breach was made, Fairfax
fent a third fummons, to furrendcr, or expedt
extremity. One of the befieged’s chief marks¬
men who had killed many of the befiegers out of
the tower, was fhot. By this time, the approaches
were fo near, that the befiegers could have no ufe
of their mufquets, and only throw down {tones.
The befiegers upon the guard, commanded by colonel
Ingoldesby, gained the tower in the corner of the
caftle, out of vffiich the mufqueteers played into the
caftle. The mine not being ready to fpring this
night, it was refolved to put off the ftorm till next
day. The befiegers ventured fo near the walls, from
the gallery, that they pulled the wool out of the
woolfacks, that lay on the works. Strong guards
were fet by the garrifon, and in the night great fires
were made in the caftle, to dilcover the approaches
and mines. Auguft 1 at two in the morning, fir
Lewis Dives fent out a drummer with this letter :
“ Sir,
“ I muft acknowledge the advantage you have of
“ me, by being mafter of my walls; and that you
“ may not think me obftinate without reafon, I have

Sherborn caftle,
Auguft 15, 1645,
The anfwer returned was, “ No terms, but quarter,
and he was not to expeft that, except he furrendered
immediately.” Fairfax went in perfon, and viewed
the caftle within over the wall, and gave orders for
a ftorm, and every foldier to cut a frefh faggot,
whereby in two hours they had above 6000 faggots
to fill the trenches, and threw ftones and rubbilh
upon them. While this was doing, the befiegers
gained one tower, and recovered another from
whence the befieged (hot lb many men. Sir L.
D ives’s fecretary was killed by a (hot. Being polled
of this tower, the befieged were driven from their
gun3 within, which they had planted to oppole the
entrance at the breach. The miners had by this
time wrought quite through the foundation of the
wall, and their foot played lb hard from the breach,
that the befieged were forced to quit the great court
within the caftle. The befiegers coming forwards
with faggots, and fome of them before their ap¬
pointed time leaping over the works, the befieged
being thereby difcouraged, fled out of one work into
another, and fo into the caftle, which the befiegers
obferving, went all over. The bloody flag was
pulled down, and they within hung out a white one,
and fent a drum to alk quarter, but before he could
get out and return, a great part of Fairfax’s foot
were entered, and the befieged had thrown dowp
their arms and cryed for quarter, which was given,
but all were ftript except fir L. Dives and his lady,
and fome few more. In the caftle were taken fir
Lewis Dives, colonel and governor, and his lady,
fir John Strangeways, colonel Giles Strangeways, one
of lord Paulet’s ions, fir John Walcot, fir .
Cotton, knt. colonel Thornhill, colonel Fulfel an
attorney, once lub -governor of Weymouth for the
king, three members of the houfe of commons,
feveral commiflioners of array, 9 captains, 11 lieu¬
tenants, 3 cornets, 5 colours, 55 gentlemen of
Wilts and Dorfet , 10 clergymen, 600 common
foldiers, 1400 arms, 30 horfes, 18 pieces of ordnance,
a mortar piece, and a murtherer, 60 barrels of pow¬
der, much plunder, provifion and rich houfhold
fluff. Few of the garrifon were flain in the ftorm.
The prifoners and leaders of the clubmen 340,
Aug. 18. were fent by fea to London: fir Lewis
Dives and fir John Strangeways were brought to
the bar of the houfe of commons, where fir Lewis
refufed to kneel till compelled, and with fir John
was committed to the Tower for high treafon. On
the parliament fide. Major Dove, Major Crofs, cap¬
tain Crols of the aitillery Were flain, and captain-
Creamer wounded : their whole lots was <>00 men.
The liege lalled 16 days. Auguft 16, the foldiers
kept a great market with their booty, and ail this
day and the next was fpent in ordering the difpofal
of the prifoners, and in confidcring what to do with
the garrifon0. Auguft 21, the parliament ordered
the caftle to be demolifhed, which work by Bury’s
accounts feems to have been compleated in Offober
following °. Out of the ruins were built Caftleton
church, part of the lodge, the liable, and part of
the garden walls.
Though the operations of War were chiefly car¬
ried on about the caftle, yet the town and its in¬
habitants, who were generally very loyal to the king,
fuffered greatly during the rebellion. George lord
Digby was one of the firft voted to be excepted
from pardon 1648, and March 15 the fame year he
and his father were ordered to be banifhed, and their'
eftates confifcated. The earl of Briftol’s eftate was let
during a great part of the ufurpation to lady Brook
for 530 1. per annum, excepting the old rents, which
were referved : but George lord Digby was allowed
to compound for his own eftate for 500]. The

The Lodgf. Mr. Coker fays r, that “ fir Walter
Rawleigh began very fairly to repair the caftle, but
altering his purpofe, he built in the park adjoining
to it from the ground a moft fine houle, which he
beautified with orchards, gardens and groves, of inch
variety and delight, that whether you confider the
goodnefs of the foil, the pleafantnefs of the feat, and
other delicacies belonging to it, it is unparalleled by
any in thefe parts.” It Hands a little N. from the
ruins of the old caftle, and is built in form of the
letter H. The middle part was eretted by fir Walter
Rawleigh, In one of the windows his arms [fill ap¬
pear, and this date, 1591* The reft was built by
the earl of Briftol, after the Reftoration, out of the
ruins of the caftle.
Here are fome original pictures ; one of Robert,
eldeft foil of Kildare lord Digby, drawn by Carlo
Marat ti at Rome. Another of Elizabeth, countefs
of Southampton, by Cornelius Jaiifen, one of his
b it works. Here is alfo the famous proceihon of
queen Elizabeth, who is carried in an open fedan
by eight principal noblemen from London, to viiit
Henry Carey, lord Hunfdon, at Hunfdon Houle in
Hertfordfhire ; alcribed to her Maje'lly’s painter
Gerards, by Mr. Vertue, who copied it for Robert
Harley, firft: earl of Oxford, and afterward engraved
and publiflied it.
The ruins of the caftle, fir Walter Rawleigh’s
grove, the feat of lord Digby, a grove planted by
Mr. Pope, and a noble ierpentine body of water,
with a fine ftone bridge of leveral ‘ arches over it,
made by the laft lord Digby, confpire to make this
feat one of the molt venerable and beautiful in
England.
It is furrounded by a large park , <c which
“ excepting a litle about the lodge,” Leland tells us
in his time, c< was inclofid with a ftone waulle s.”
In a court roll, 17 H. VIII. Philip Bafkerville was
parrecarius of this park, and accounted for 8 1. for
agiftments. 11 Jac. I. it was demifed for 99 years
to Robert Philips : alfo the lodge, herbage and pan¬
nage, a mead near the park of 1 6 acres ; in the whole
500 acres, and all tithes of the Laid park, except
E. and W. Coppices of 10 acres, paying a fine of
1600 1. This leafe was probably bought out by the
earl of Somerfct or lord Digby. In 1645, the lodge,
park, lawns and clofes adjoining, value 1641, 37c 1.
per annum: alfo the Feathers Inn here, and the benefit
of the market, both valued 1641, at 30 1. per an¬
num, all belonging to lord Digby, were fequeftered.
The park contains 340 acres, and is generally flocked
with 500 head of deer. Two final! parcels of it
{land in the parifhes of Haydon and Goathill, c.
Somerfet.
Here the great and unfortunate fir Walter
Rawleigh fpent as much of his time as his various
employments by fea and land would permit. He
was fecond fon of Walter Rawleigh of Fardel, in the
parifh of Cornwood near Plymouth, by his fecond
wife Katherine, daughter of fir Philip Campernon of
Modbury, knt. He was eighth in descent from fir
Hugh Rawleigh of Smallridge, In the parifh of Ax-
minfter, c. Devon, (the rnofl ancient feat of the
H E R B O R N.
family) who was a younger fon of fir Wimond ilaw-
leigh, of Nettlecomb-Rav. ieigh, c. Sotnerlet. bir
Walter was born in 1552 at Hays, an hqufe lo named
the parifh of E. Budleigh, in the 8. E. part of
Devon, formerly called Poers Hays and Daks-llays,
from the late poifeifors, where his father was lefifee
under . . . Duke of Gtrcrton. About 1568, he be¬
came a commoner at Oriel College, Oxford, where
be fpent three years; and taence removed to the
Middle Temple, London, about 1576, but loon
betook himfclf to a military life, and firft fer.cd in
France as a volunteer, under his kinfman Henry
Champernon, elq. and afterwards in the Low Countries
and Ireland. About this time he made leveral
voyages, the firft under fir Humphry Gilbert, his
mother’s fon by her firft hufbnnd. In 1580 he had a
command under the lord (Ley in Ireland •, and at his
return went to court, and became a great favourite
of queen Elizabeth. In 1584 he dil covered Virginia,
and was knighted, and ekefed knight of the fnire for
Devon. In 1587 he was made lord warden of the
ftannaries, captain of the guard, and in 1600 gover¬
nor of Jerley and Virginia. In I £88 he com minded
in the fleet that defeated the Spanifli armada. In
■ 1589 lie joined in the fleet fitted out to reftore An¬
tonio to the throne of Portugal. In K92 he took the
rich caracca, worth 500,0001. and afterwards had a
command in leveral expeditions to the Weft Indies
and tine coaft of Spain. In 15-92, he obtained by
his merit and the roval favour, a grant of the manor
and caftle of Sherborn, and many other lands be¬
longing to the fee of Sarum : but he feems to have
effe&ed his defign not without fome fraudulent, or
perhaps violent means; being charged with having
perfuaded bifhop Cold well to pafs it to the crown on
his elefrion to the fee of Salifbury ; after which fir
Walter obtained a grant of it. This was one of the
greateft blemifhes in his characler, and was probably
one caule of his misfortunes. Thefe rich pofTefllons
railed the envy and avarice of his fellow courtier?,
who waited for, and foon ' after found an opportu¬
nity to deprive him of them. In 1 594 he planned,
and in part executed, the difeovery and cenqueft of
Guiana in S. America y and in 1596 had an ad¬
miral’s command at the taking of Cadiz: . In 1603,
upon the fucceffion of Janies, he was with lord Cob-
ham and lord Grey acetified of high treafon, was
tried, found guilty, and received • 1 entente' of death,
which was changed to a confinement in the Tower,
where he continued fourteen years. - In that time he
compiled his valuable Hiftory of tb - World, of which
he publiflied a firft part; and a itttle before his
death deftroyed the fecond part, which was a great
lols to the learned world to be - repaired by no hand
but his own. In 1616, he made his uii fortunate
voyage to Guinea, and on his return, was recalled to
his former lentence, and beheaded 29 Oft. 1 A 1 8, in
•the old Palace Yard, Weftminfter. He was interred
at the upper end of the chancel of Sr. Margaret’s
church, Weftminfter. On his condemnation his
eftate was forfeited, and fome part of it regranted to
his lady, which yet feems afterwards to have been
•reverfed, and fhe was allowed only 400 1. per 'annum
for her jointure. He married Elizabeth, daughter
of fir Nicholas Throgmorton, maid of honour to
queen Elizabeth, whom he had firftdebauched, for which
he was for fome time baniftied the court, and imprifon-
ed. By her he had two Ions, Walter, Haiti in the laft

p. 435, and the Biographia Britannica, to which
I refer the reader, and fhall only add his chara&er
as juftly drawn by Mr. Prince.
“ lie was the feourge, terror, and triumph of
u Spain, whom the whole nation pitied, and feveral
“ princes interceded fort queen Elizabeth’s favourite,
“ and her fuccefifor’s facrifice : the envy of Leicefter,
“ and rival of Cec'l. Authors arc perplexed in what
“ rank to place him, whether of ftatefman, feaman,
(i fouldier, 'or hidorian. It is a queftion whether the
“ age he lived in was more obliged to his pen or
<c iword ; one in conquering the new, or the other in
“ delcribing the old, world.”
In St. Svvithin’s ftreet is a large free hone houfe;
built about 1720 by Henry For tin an Seymour, elq.
who left it with the bulk of his perfonal eftate, to
his nephew, Francis Seymour, elq. who dying 1762,
it came to his fon Francis Seymour, elq.
A houle next door to this inhabited by Mr. Okes
coach-mailer, has under a bow window an angel
holding a ibield with three pikes heads or mitres :
and two of the doors have pointed arches. Mr.
Darby’s houle in the fame llreet has under a bow
window in a quatrefoil a fefs charged with three
hearts between three tuns ereff.
In Long-llrect is the feat of John Hutchings, efq.
many years juftice of the peace for this county.
In the high ftreet, on the right hand, are fome
antient Hone windows, and on the left fome old
timber houfes.
Formerly feveral perfons of note refided here, and
in Caftleton. 9, 10, E. IV. William Kelzvay held lands
here, and in Somerfetfhire c, and feems to have been
anceltor to a family after feated at Lillington. There
was a family called Mere, feated at Caftleton 1547 —
16.7, and another called Starve, about 1600. , In
1661, thefe gentlemen occur here in a fubfidy roll;
Peter Hoikins , efq. Nathanael Highmore, M. D.
John Whetcomb, jun. gent, in Newland Borough,
John Whetcomb, fen. gent. Mr. John Ellmont, Mr.
Hugh Hodges, and Mr. Jonas Cooth in A.bbots fee.
Pvichard King, efq. of this place, 1641, being then
fli led juftice of the peace and counfellor at law of
the Inner Temple, had thefe arms granted him, Sa.
a fels wavy between three efcallops A.
About 1600, the Walcots refided ' in Caftleton.
They were defeended of an ancient family in Shrop-
fhire. In the Vifitatjon book 1623, there is a pedigree
given of four defeents, but they do nof feem to
have continued long here.
Here is an ancient market houfe, built of ftone by
the abbots, and over it is the town hall.
In the market place is an oftagonal building, erefied
by fir John Horfey in the Gothic tafte, on the top of
which is a fhort crofs, and within it a. conduit pipe,
which yields near an hegfhead of water every minute.
In the roof quarterly 1, 4. Arg. 3 horlcs heads,

In the N. part of the town flood the New Un,
builr, as Leland informs us \ with divers other houfes
near it, by abbot Ramefun. By ir he adds, was
Thomas Becket’s chapel. This feems to be the
ancient inn on the hill W. of the Antelope inn. The
ftone panneling and ornaments refemble thole within
the church; and it has a handfome bow window with
five quatrefoil fhields.
In the high ftreet Hands a neat crofs, tefembiing that

The Alms-house
is an ancient building, fituated near the S. fide of the
church. It was originally an hofpital of the order
of St. Auguftin, begun by the devotion of the good
people of the town, and the king is taken for the
founder of it x. “ It ftondith yet, but m[en get molt]
of the land by pece meales.” It was founded and aug¬
mented by licence from the king, 15 Hen. VI. to
Robert Nevile, bifhop of Sarum, Humphrey Stafford,
kt. Margaret Goghe, John Fauntleroy, and John Baret,
in honour of St* John Baptift, and St. John the
Evangelift, by the name of the mafler and brethren
of the alms-houfe for twenty brethren, twelve poor
infirm men, and four women, and one perpetual
chaplain to pray for the good efface and the fouls of
the founders. The brothers yearlv, or when tluy
fhould think expedient, were to choofe thrir mailer
from among themfelves, and upon all vacancies to
admit other brethren, and to have power to dilpole
and expel the mafler and any of the poor; and
to be capable of acquiring lands. The fociery
was to be governed by fuch rules as fhould be
eftabliffied by the founders. Beauchamp, bifhop of
Salisbury, was a great benefador to it. Sir Hum¬
phrey Stafford, knt. of Hook, gave 10 1. and eight
loads of timber. Margaret Goffr, widow, lady of
Langton near Blandford, gave one me flange, called
Julian, on the green in Sherborn. John fauntleroy,
gent, of Fauntleroy’s Marfh, gave 20 I. and 80 loads
of timber; and his wife 5 1. Elizabeth Latimer,
widow gave her lands in Yatminfter, Spittle, and
Bere- Hacker. William Knoyle, gent, of Sherborn,
gave 46 1. 13s. 4d. William Comb and John Down-
ton of Folke gave 39 meffuages to William Smith,
maffer of the alms-houfe. In a court roll of the m.mor
of Sherborn, 17H.VIH. Robert Derby, knt. matter
of the alms-houfe of St. John Baptift occurs. On the
front of this houfe are thefe arms :
1. G. a fefs O between 6 martlets of the 2d. Beau¬
champ.
2. G. a faltire O. Ncvil.
3. G. a chevron O. between three infants heads

In this alms-houfe is a final! chapel, endowed with
61. 13 s. 8 d. per annum, where prayers- are daily
read, and a fermon preached every Thud-Jay morn¬
ing. The chaplain is appointed by the wardens. At
the diffolution, fome of its revenues were alienated.
It now contains 16 men and 8 women chofen and
governed by a maffer and 19 brethren, elected out of
the principal inhabitants by a majority of their own
body. Here is a cuftom every Midfummer night
for a garland to be hungup at the door, and watched
till next morning by the almfmen, in memory of St.
John Baptift.

vived, 20 Jac. I. and 3 Car. I. This ftatuce is not
printed at large.
In 1753 an a^ palled for making a turnpike road
from the top of White-Sheet Hill, in the parilh of
Donehead St. Andrew, through Shafton, Milborn-
Port, and Sherborn, to the half way houfe in Nether-
Compton, and thence to Axniinfter . and from
Yeovil to the Welt- Bridge in Sherborn, through
Long- Burton and Revels-Head to Dorcheller. By
another a£t, 1 Geo. III. 1761, it was continued thence
to Waymouth.
The river Yoo, or Yeo, [which derives its name
from the Saxon Ey, or Ea , in French Jlau, corruptly
Tea and Tco] rifes from feven fprings, called the Seven
Sifters, three miles N.E. from Sherborn; and receives
two brooks from Candel Purfe and Haydon, which
meet near lord Digby’s park wall. “ There be feven
“ fprings, alias feven fillers, in an hy lie lade, N. E.
“ from Shirborne. They gether ftrait to one bottom,
“ and cum to the mere, and thens the broke cum-
“ meth from the mere in one botom, and rennith on
il the fouth fide of the toune c to Shirburn milles,
“ wherabout the lower mylle, a broke of much like
“ quantite cummith into it by the S. fide of it d.”
Thence they go into the mere, and were lately col-
kdted into a lerpemine piece of water, near two miles
long, and 100 yards broad, between the ruins of the
caftle and the lodge. Here feems anciently to have
been a confiderable piece of water near this place, as
appears by a charter of confirmation by Roger, bilhop
of Sarum, of the manor, caftle, and park to theabby
of Sherborn •, wherein he grams the monks, before
the four principal feftivals of the Virgin Mary, li¬
cence of filhing, per omnes vivarias juxta infill am, ubi
cajlellum fitum ejl , for one whole day and half, the
day before the vigil, and on the vigil of thefe feftivals.
Hence the Yeo pafles to Sherborn, Bradford, Clifton,
and Yeovil, to which it gives name ; afterwards it re¬
ceives the Parret at Langport, and there lofes its name,
and is called the Parret, but anciently Ivel, and falls
into the fea at the Start point in Somerl’etfhire.
Leland e mentions feveral little brooks that rife in
the neighbourhood of Sherborn, but his account of
them is not exadt. He is corrected by Mr. Hearne,
who does not feem to be more accurate.
Near the town are fome mineral waters, chiefly
fulphur, which when analyzed cure the itch in men,
and mange in dogs. There are petrifying fprings in
a marie pit a mile N. of the town, and another in
the moor. Here is a cold bath, rifing from a quick
l'pring, which difeharges near a hoglhead of water in
a minute.
About the town are large free ftone quarries, and
fome fmall ones, whence tile ftone, and rough pa-
viour ftone, rifes : alfo red gravel for gardens.
In the town where wells are moft frequent, from
three feet of black earth they come to a thin fcaly
rock, four or five inches thick: the nexc ftratum is
a yellow kind of maum, a foot deep ; then fucceflive
layers of rock, from two to three feet thick, divided
by thin half inch layers of a clayifh fubftance, till
you come to the fprings.
Here are found fome foffils, belemnites, cochlitae,
cornua ammonis, cafts of feveral kinds of mufcles,

On the hills S. from Sherborn it was imagined
fome years ago coals might be found. Several trials
were made by miners procured from Me n clip ;■ but
either there were really no coals, or the miners wire
bribed by the owners of the Mendip coal pits not to
difeover any*

knights fees taken before John de Kirkely, the
king’s treafurer, 10 E. 1. the heirs of Alured de Lincoln
held a fee here of the bifhop of Sarum, who held it
of the king in chief by barony. 20 E. III. Alianot
de Colibere held one fee here, and in Pudeie, which
Nicholas dfc Cheney formerly held. After, or rather
before this it belonged to Sherborn abbey. 35 H. VIII.
the manor, capital mefluage, and farm of Pinford,
and a meadow called Pynford, clear yearly value tol.
late belonging to Sherborn- abbey, were granted to
Sir John Hcrfey. In this family it continued, till
32 Elizabeth f. But it feems to have been divided
into two moieties; for 44 Eliz. a moiety of this manor
was held by .... Arnold, who had licence to alienate
it to Sir W. Raivleigh, whence it pafied to Carr, earl
of Somerfet, and lord Digby ; to which laft family, the
whole manor came in procefs of time. In 1645, the
farm here, value 1641 150 !. per annum, belonging
to lord Digby, was iequefterCd. The great tithes, or
as it is fty led in records, the reftory or parfonage,
feem to have been divided between fir Walter Raivleigh ,
and the Horjeys ; whence it came to the Digby family.
Here are kill the remains of a fmall chapel, which
in Dean Chandler’s Regifter 1405 is faid to be de¬
dicated to St. James.

This village, which probably ret elves Its name
from fome rclnaikabie thicket of thorns near the
ford of the river on which it Hands, is lituate about
two miles and half S. W. from Sherborn. King
Eadred by charter A. D. 903, gave to Wn'Jffg the

lands in Thornford. In Dorhefday-Book ', the bifhop
of Sarijbere held Thorneford / it confided of fix
carucates, worth 100 s.- Pope Eugeni’us III. 1145,
and pope Alexander III. 1163, in their bulls 'of con¬
firmation, of the poffelilons of the abbey of Sherborn,
mention the v i 11 of Thorncjord, with a chapel and
tyth.es there belonging to the abbey. In '1243 r^e

Nicholas Winnif and Robert Parfons for 2200I. The
other moiety defeended to fir George Horfey , then 28
years old. It remained for fome time after in this

feveral private owners. It came to the Whetcombs and
dill is claimed under them by the dile of the manor
of Thornford.
The Church

from Thornford. It is called North-Wotton from its
Northerly fituation from one of the Wottons in thefe
parts, Wotton- Whitfield or Glanvils-Wotton. As
this vill does not occur among the pofleflions of the
biftiop of Sarum in Domefday-Book, it was probably
included in the furvey of fome adjoining place: but
foon after that time, in the book of knights fees it
was found by inquifition before John de Kirkeley, the
king’s treafurer, t. E. I. that this vill belonged to the

The Rectory
is a peculiar of Sarum, and is now ftiled a perpetual
curacy. All the tithes of this parilh belonged to
the monaftery of Sherborn. The cure feems to have
been ferved by a ftipendiary priefi, or a monk. of that
houfe, for no inftitution or indtidtion to it appear? in
any record, nor does it occur in any ancient or
modern valor. 32 Eliz. the tithes here belonging to
the abbey of Sherborn were granted to Ralph Hor/ey
and John Fitzjames, from whom they palled to fir
George Strode and lord Broke.
The return to the commiffion 1630 was, that the
impropriation was worth 15 1. per annum, two parts
of which belonged to John Firzjames of I.ewfon, elq.
and a third part to Eleanor his mother. The vicar¬

MARNHIHL, Marenclle,
IS a very large parilh, fituated on the S. bank
of the Stour, about five miles S. W. from Shafts-
bury. The land of it is worth' near 4000 1. per an¬
num, and by a computation formerly made and
entered in the parifii regifter, here were 200 houfes,
and 970 fouls. At prefent it is inclofed, but in the
memory of man was all open corn-fields. The foil
is very good, chiefly clay, but near the church ftony.
Leland* gives us this account of it, “ Marnelle on
“ the left rype of Stour, is a good ujflandilhe town,
“ and the lordlhip there longid unto Gleffenbyri.
“ It is about fix miles from Shaftefbyry.”
This place gave title of baron to Henry Howard,
brother of Thomas duke of Norfolk. . . . Jac. I.
afterwards created earl of Northampton 1608, but
dying without iffue 1624, the honour became extinft.
It is not furveyed in Domefday Book, or at leaft
by any name that refembles the prefent. It was then
not improbably included in Sturminfler, to which
manor great part of it belonged. The manor was
very anciently given to the abbey of Glajionbury, but
when, or by whom does not appear, though probably
at the fame time as Sturminller-Newton. 4 E. I.
free warren was granted to the abbot here, and in
Neweton and Buckland, which was confirmed 2
H. VIII. In 1293 this parilh was taxed with Stur-
minfter-Newton, which feeb.
In the furvey of the poffelfions of Glaftonbury
abbey made after the diflolution, we find the follow¬
ing account of the manor c.
“ The demaynes 81. 8 s. 4d. rents of aflize 10 s.

35 H. VIII. this manor was granted to queen
Catherine for life. 4 and 5 E. VI. it was granted inter

held it in chief by the 40th part of a knight’s fee.
10 Eliz. the earl of Leicefter had licence to alienate
the premifes to Thomas Howard. 1 5 Eliz. this manor,
and that of Buckland Abbas, and Catteftock, and

feffions of Glafton abbey, were granted To Henry earl of
Northampton, &c. This grant was made with remainder
over to Thomas earl of Suffolk, and William fon of
Thomas late duke of Norfolk, in tail male refpeo
tively. 15 Jac. I. the premifes, and the manors of
Buckland and Catftock, and advowfon of Catftock,
which came into the king’s hands by gift of the faid

This parifh is divided into three tythings, Burton,

but Thornton is a tything in Redlane hundred.

At Marnhull was formerly feated a family named
Pope , who had a confiderable eftate here, but are
now extinft. In 1608, Robert Pope of Marnhull died
feiled of a capital mefluage and lands there ; Robert
his grandfon and heir, cet. 16^. Theft lands now
belong to Edward Walter , efq. The Joyces, formerly
feated in Gillingham and afterwards at Bagbere in
Sturminfter Newton, had fome concern here. The
Burges had an eftate of 200 1. per annum, and are
lately extinft.
Here was a workhoufe erefted a few years
fince.
About a mile and a half below Marnhull to the
S. W. is a large bridge over the Stour, called Kir.gs-
flzz7/-Bridge. It was ordered to be repaired by the
county, 2 5 Car. II.
Here is bull-baiting annually. May 3. The bull
is led in the morning into Bailey Meadow, where the
tenant of the eftate, by giving a garland, appoints
who fhall keep the bull next year. This eftate once
belonged to the Hujfeys, now to Edward Walter ,
efq.
Every Eafter-Monday is a cuftcm to give bread and
cbeefe to every inhabitant of the parifti, and formerly
a cup of beer, which laft has been long difufed. The
quantity of wheat is 12 bulhels, and 200 wt. of
cheele : the wheat is ground at Kingfmill, toll free,
and always baked on Good Friday. The common
people attribute much virtue to it, fancy it never
moulds, and Tome give it to fick cattle. This was
anciently at the reftor’s expence, but of late years
the parifh have eafed him of. that burden.

The great N. ifle has been called Collis’s Walk
immemorially, perhaps from its being built or re¬
paired by Mr. Collis, once rector. It has been the
burial place of the Popes.
In the little N. ide is the burial ce of the
Huffeys, lords of this manor.
The little S. ifie was the place of fepulture of the
Filiols , juft at the entrance of which is a fmall tomb,
cafed with thick flabs of alabafter, much of which
has been iloie to make dyes for coining as is fup-
pofed. On it lie three figures in alabafter : the man
is in compleat armour, girt with a fword, and a collar
about his neck: on each fide is a lady : but the man
and one of the women is much defaced. It was
erefted for Thomas Howard vifeount Bindon and his
two wives. Pie died April 5, 1582. He was fecond
fon of Thomas Howard, duke of Norfolk, was
created vifeount Bindon 1 Eliz. and married 1. Eliza¬
beth, fecond daughter of John lord Marney. 2. Ger¬
trude, daughter of fir William Lyle of Billerdon, c.

of Henry Manning of Greenwich, c. Kent. By his
will, dated 24 May, 23 Eliz. 1580, proved Feb. 14,
1582, 25 Eliz. he bequeathed his body to be buried
here, and ordered that a tomb fhould be made for
him and his late two wives Gertrude and Mabel, and
for Margaret then his wife z.
Clofe by this, was lately found by chance a fmall
vault, only large enough to contain one corps, in
which the father of the late Mr. Filiol is interred.
On the wall hangs an atchievement, on which are
the arms of Filiol, and under it this infeription :

In this church was a chantry dedicated to the Bleffcd
Virgin. In the Salifbury. regifters of inftitution
occur fix chaplains of this chantry, from 1392 to.
1413. The patronage belonged to the Can fits of
Henftrige. 2 E. III. it was found not to the king’s
detriment if he granted leave to Walter de Tryll, to
give one meffuage, 38 acres of land, pafture for four
oxen, and fifteen {hillings rent in Marnhull, to a
chaplain, to celebrate divine fervice in the church of
St. George there, for the fold of the Laid Walter
and Elizabeth his wife, every day for ever; which
lands are held of R.oger de BaVfente, by knight’s fer¬
vice : there remains to him, beiides the Paid dona¬
tion, the manor of Barton-Afhe, held of the fame*.
Here was another chantry dedicated to St. Catherine ,
which in the chantry roll was valued at 9 1. 17 s. 4 d.
out of which was paid in rents refolute 48 s. 8 d. ; John
Clements incumbent. In the records is mentioned
a chantry dedicated to the Holy Trinity, which was
probably the fame as this, having the fame incum¬
bent: perhaps if' was re-dediCated. Thefe chantries
feem to have been founded in the little N. and S.
ides. The lands of one or both of thefe pay tithes
to the reftor of Todbere.

1 6 carucates, worth 12 1. The wife of Hugh hath
April, four hides, Alurcd two, and Chetel two. This Atured
was certainly anceflor of the family afterwards called
de Lincolnia, perhaps becaufe the bulk of his eflate
lay in Lincolnfliire, and whofe fuc'ceflb'rs became at
length lords of this whole vill, under their lord para¬
mount the abbot of Glaflon. Mr. Coker remarks %
“ That he feems to have been the Ahiredus Vice comes
mentioned in Domefday Book, anceflor of the
de I.incolnias or de Nicholes, who lived in Edward
the ConfefTor’s days : and though William the
Conqueror gave part of his eflate to Aiulph his

joyed a very goodly patrimony in thefe and other1

Ackford was the principal tenement of all the fees
of Alured de Nichole, which he held of the abbot
of Glallon. Thefe fees were Ackford, Bakebere,
Kentlefworth, Burton, or Marnhulle (which three laft

OCKFORD-FITZPA1N,
Ackford- Aluredi, Ackford- Nichole.
This large parifh lies on the decline of an hill,
three miles S. E. from Sturminfler-Newton. It af-
fumes the name of Ockford-Alured from its ancient
lords the De Lincoltiias , Alured being the ufual Chrif-
tian name of that family ; that of Ockford-Nichole
from their furname, fliled in French Nichole ; and
Ockford-Fitzpaine from its fucceeding lords of that
name.
Robert Fitzpaine, who died 9 E. II. obtained a
charter, 10 E. I. for a market every Friday, and a
fair yearly on the eve, day, and morrow after the
feafl of the nativity of St. John the Baptifl. Robert
his fon had a charter for changing the market to
Thurfday, and the fair to Whitfunday, and two days
following, 1 1 E. III. 1 The market and the fairs
but in another place it is faid five hides ; at Duntifhe
and Hermingefwelle feven hides, one virgate and a
half ; at Colbeigh juxta Lyme three hides ; at
Woodyates four hides ; and at Damerham three hides.
For which five fees Alured paid 10 1. viz. 40 s. for
every fee, for feutage, 1189. Alured his fon held
the fame 1242, and paid the fame fum for feutage in
Wales, 1257 u.
Robert Fitzpaine and William de Gouiz , coheirs of
Alured, did homage, &c. to abbot Pederton, 1264,
each for a third part of five knights fees and a half,
and paid 10 1. for fo much of their purparty ; though
it was found that their anceflors held only five, fi¬
bre da, filler and coheir of Alured, did homage, &c.
for her purparty, and paid her relief the fame year,
but died foon after without ilfue x. In the eleventh
year of abbot John de . it was found, that
Robert Fitzpain paid to the faid abbot 61. for the
fees of Ackford, &c. and William Gouis 4 1. for the
fee of Duntilhc, for the feutage of Wales, and after¬
wards did homage, &c. to abbot Fromond for his
purparty, not acknowledging fognofeendo] the quan¬
tity of the tenements or their fervices, 1 304. Purbert
his fon, 9 E. II. 1316, did the fame to the faid ab¬
bot for his purparty, and alio 1336 and 1343 t .
The family of the Dc Line oh: ias was of high an¬
tiquity in this kingdom*. Alan de Lincolnia, a baron
mentioned in a great council held at London, 15
William the Conqueror, left two daughters his heirs ;
Margaret , wife of Ranulph de Bayocis or Baieux,
and . wife to Humphry dc Albini. Alured
de Lincplnia was a cotemporary, but whether a re¬
lation of the former is not known. In Domefday

There was a family of this name feated at, or pof-
feffed of, Folke, near Sherborn ; but how related
to this does not appear.
On the death of the laft Robert Fitzpain, the ma¬
nors and advowfons of W raxhall, Cadene, Stapele,

entail formerly made by fine, were to remain to Ro¬
bert, fon of Richard le Grey, of Codnor, and Elizabeth
his wife, and the heirs of the faid Robert, in default
of iflue of Robert and Ela Fitzpaine. Yet it is hard
to account how Ifabelia Poynings died feifed of thofe
manors.. Perhaps R. de Grey died without iflue, and
they reverted to the faid Ifabel. The reverfion of
the hundred of Whitchurch, and the manors of Marlh¬
wood and Wodeton, were purchafed by John Matra-
vers jun. of Lichet ; and, on Iris attainder, granted

The Town and Parish of
STURMINSTER-NE WTON CASTLE.
Sturminfler Abbas , Sturenminfier , Newton, Newentone.
This is a very large parifb, and a fmall market
town, and the capital of a hundred, fituated near
3 miles N. VV. from Ockford fitzpain, in a rich
vale, on the banks of the river Stour. It derives
its name from the river, and its minfter or church
not a monaftery as Mr. Baxter conjectures, who will
have it to be the Anicetis , or, as he corredts it, the
'Antioch of Ravennas, from the order of that Itinerary,
and the old caftle at Newton, and from the winding
river near it, Anitocis importing an utui ifc , guttur
aquce, fimilar to Etocifta, Teukesbury. It is divided
into two parts, Sturminfler , which lies on the N. fide
of the river, and Newton or Newton Cajile on the
S. fide. The latter is a fmall hamlet, and a diftindt
tithing, the name of which implies that it was lefs
ancient than Sturminfler. Sturminfler and Newton
feem fometimes to be fynonimous names for the
famevill; but Newton is often the general name in
ancient records, perhaps on account of the manor
houfe, the occafional refidence of the abbots of Glafton,
being fituated there. Both thefe vills compofe one
manor, and are joined together by a caufeway, and
a bridge of 6 arches over the Stour, between which
and the town are two fmall ones of two arces each.
3 & 11 H. 111. a fair was granted at Sturminfler.
Abbot de Sobbury obtained a fair and a market here
6 E. Ill; and two fairs were granted or confirmed to
the abbot 12 IT. VII. At Newton a fair was granted
5 H. Ill ; at Nova Villa [f. Newton] a market and
fair was granted 14 E. I. z The market is now kept
on Thurldays ; the fairs May 1 2, N . S. Odtober 24.
King Alfred gave by his lad will to his youngeft
fon Ethelwald , inter alia , lands at Stourminfter, Withe-
church, and M.Akburn,/olummodo Triconfchire excepto a
A. D. 968 king Edgar gave the manor of Sturre or
Stour, now Stourminfter, for the ufe of the monks of
Glafton , being 30 hides or caflates b. King Edmund
Ironfide a little before his death, about 1016, be¬
queathed Newton caftle to the abbey of Glafton, being
17 hides c.
In Dornefday book the church of St. Mary of Glaf-
tonberie held Newentone : It confifted of 35 carucates
once worth 30 1. now 25 1. Three knights held 8
hides more here, worth 7 1. Gofceline the king’s
cook held 4 hides, worth 4 1. d
This furvey mu ft include Sturminfler, under the
general name of Newentone ; for there is but one
Sturminftre mentioned in Dornefday Book, which
belonged to R.oger de Belmont. There are fevered
parcels or manors furveyed under the name of Sturc,
Stur, or Stour ; but none of them belonged to the
abbey of Glafton , as all Sturminftre certainly did,
lpng before this time.
“ The manor of Newetone, with its members,
gelded in fervice to the king for 30 hides ; and yet
there are more db antiquo , of which there are in the de-
mefnes of the abbot in Newetone five hides, in Ken¬
tleworth, now called Marnhulle, feven- hides' and one
virgate, ab antiquo. And the knights hold in Kentle-
worth five hides and three virgates, in Colbere two
hides and a half, in Stocke two hides and a half, in
Bakebere two hides, and in Acford eight hides, ab
antiquo. In other parts of this record, Kentleworth,
Knight-Street, and Yardegrove in Kentleworth, are
Paid to be in the manor of Newetone, and Acford,
i. e. Ockford Fitz-Paine, to have fome dependance
on this manor e.
12, 13 John, the abbot of Glaftonbury held 40
knights fees, of which three were in Newton f. In
1293, the lands of the abbot in Sturminfler, Niwe-
ton, and Marenelle, with the hamlets, were valued
at 41 1. 16 s. 2 4 E. III. the abbot had a charter for
free warren, and Other liberties, in his manors of
Newton-Caftle, Buckland, and Marnhull h.

After the diflolution, 35 H. VIII. the manor, rec¬
tory, and advowfon of the vicarage, were granted to’
queen Catharine. 4 and 5 E. VI. the hundred, ma¬
nor, reftory, and advowfon of the vicarage were
granted inter alia to the princefs Elizab. th, who, when
Ihe came to the crown, derailed the premifes to Chrif-
topher Hatton. 14 Eliz. Chriftopher Doddington,
eiq. Was deward, and Robert Freke farmer of the

to Robert Freke for 21 years. 26 Eliz. the manor and
lands here and in Colbere, and in Bagbere, belong-
ing to the faid abbey, were granted to William Pitt ,
8zc. for 40 years. 2 Jac. I. the hundred, manor,

Here were anciently fome freeholds ; for, 6 E. III.
William Jil. Rici held lands in Sturminfter-Abbas,
Crokern-Stoke, &c. io R. II. Nicholas Maut ravers
held in Sturminfter a free tenement, confifting of 42
acres, before poflefled by John his father, and John
his grandfather k. In 161 3, feveral lands in Stur¬
minfter, viz. three tenements and one cottage, one
called Wullys or Woolhoufe, another Woods-Plsce, be¬
longed to the manor of Out-Ryme, as did a tenement
called Hejlleer , and two more ; alfo fix acres of land,
and demefnes lying in common, and a meadow called
Calrojlc. There then belonged to the manor of In-
Ryme a tenement and cottage, and fix acres of land
in Sturminfter, and five acres on Sturminfter-caftle
hill : butthefe lands and rents were then concealed.
Mr. Stevens 1 fays here was an abbey, of which no
mention is made in the Monafticon, nor any other
author. In his Appendix1" he gives us the charter
of foundation from an original then in the pofleftlon
of fir Thomas Cotton, knt. and bart. and from a copy
in the llodleian Library, amongft Dodfworth’s MS.
Colleftions ". The purport of the charter is, that
king Ethelbald gave to earl Cyniberhte, A. D. 736,
ten calfates in the province called Hufmera , near the
river Stur ; which land lay on both fides of that river,
and had on the N. a wood called Cynibre, and on the
W. another called Moerhab. Dr. Tanner 0 follows
Mr. Stevens, and places Hufmera on the river Stur ,
or Sturminfter, among the monafteries of this county.
Mr. Coker fays p, that in the place of the caftle was
built a little cell for monks, part of which then re¬
mained ; but gives no authority for it. And indeed
ij; is an evident miftake, for none of the places men¬
tioned in the charter occur in any records relating to
this place or county. It certainly was in Worcefter-
fhire ; for in an account of the pofleffions of the ab¬
bey of Worcefter % Sture in Ufnera is mentioned,
given inter alia by king Ethelbald, which being taken
from it was reftored by OfFa king of the Mercians,
A. D. 781. There is a river called Stour in the E.
part of that county, which probably occafioned this
error.

37 H. VIII. lands here, belonging to Ford abbey,
were granted to ... . Barnfeld . 1 and 2 Philip and
Mary, one rod of land belonging to the prteceptory
of Temple-Comb, was granted to Thomas Trejham ,
great mafter of St. John’s of Jerufalem ; and 5 |ac. L
to Thomas Emmetfon. 24 Eliz. lands called King/-
down, Puddlefwortb, or Puddle wood, and Bernards
in Newton, belonging to Glafton abbey, were. granted
to Thomas Drake, knt. and his heirs.

flood in Newton, oppofite to Sturminfter bridge, near
the river. Camden defcribes it to be a mole of earth,
which coft no fmall pains in throwing up, and is fe-
parated from the high land behind it by a deep and
wide ditch ; but there was nothing remaining of the
caftle but the name. See Leland and the anonymous
author before cited. ^ Mr. Coker calls it a caftle or
houfe of the Weft-Saxon kings. It was no doubt a,
vei y ancient caftle or fortification, if it was not origi¬
nally made by the Romans, of whom there are no
traces, if this be not one. But upon the whole, it
cannot be later than the Saxon age. It is in form oft
a Roman D, and Hands on a high hill, furrounded
by an high vallum and deep ditch on the S. W.
and part of the E. On the N. the precipice renders
them unneceflary. On the top near the center is a
fmall mount or keep, near which are the remains of
a large ancient houfe (wherein are feveral doors with
elliptical arches) where the courts were formerly
kept. Near this is an old building, fuppofed to have
been the re&orial houfe, the glebe of the reflory be¬
ing adjacent to it. Adjoining to it are the remains of
the reftorial barn, great part of which was pulled
down 1732. Probably a monk or two of Glafton-
bury was placed here, as bailiffs or Rewards, to take
care of the lands and revenues, which might occalion
Mr. Coker to call it a cell. North of the caftle, at
the foot of the hill, are the ruins of a confiderable
houfe, in which is a very large chimney.
The great bridge here was ufually repaired by the
town, from the profits of a revel at Ralph’s Down ;
but, 14 Car. I. it was ordered to be repaired by the
county, as were the little bridges, 25 Car. II. Mad -
den bridge, in this parifh, was repaired by the inha¬
bitants, 1669. Rolls or Rawles bridge, over the

H. III. and 8 E. II. held knights fees here ; as did

R. II. and 3 H. VII. which fee Robert de Bakebere
and Gilbert de Cabro formerly held as of the honour
of Glouceber. 20 E. III. Brian de Donyton, John de
' Toukere , and John de Bakebere held here one quar¬
ter of a fee, in the hundred of Cranborn, which
Robert de Bagebere and Gilbert de Cabello formerly
held. Alfo Matilda Hamme and the heirs of Thomas
Bromejhull held in Bakebere, in the hundred of
Nyweton, the one- eighth part of a fee, which John
Jubeyn and Thomas Bromefhull formerly held.
At length, by feveral unknown owners, it came to
the Molyns of Weft-Hall. 28 H. VIII. Thomas
Molyns held this manor, with the appurtenances in
E. Bagbere, and lands in Parva Puddle, and Guffage
St. Andrew, of the king in chief, by knight's fervice :
Thomas his fon and heir. 35 Eliz. Thomas Moleyns,
and 37 Eliz. Henry Moleyns held the fame at their
death of the queen, as of her manor of Cranborn, by
a quarter of a fee, value 6 1. s How it palled lince we
are not informed.
Plere feems to have been another manor which be¬
longed to the abbot of Glajlonbury. Two hides in
Bakebere in the manor of Neweton, parcel of the in¬
heritance of Alured de Nichole, were held by Robert
Fitzpaine of the faid abbot.1 37 E. III. Hugh Pen-
brigg and others held the manor of E. Bakebere by fuit
of court at Ockford. 1 R. III. John Newburgh held
here a melfuage and 30 acres of land of the abbot
of Glabon. 2 E. VI. John Newburgh lately held
here fix meffuages 186 acres of land, and 3 s. 2d.
rent, before polfefTed by Fauntleroy. In 1646 Mr.
Roger Newburgh’s old rents of a manor here, value
10 1. os. 8d. were fequeflered.
But thefe manors have been long extinguifhed, and
fold by parcels to feveral proprietors. Of late years
the Joyces and Shirleys have by> degrees purchafed all,
or the greateft part of this hamlet.
The Joyces, though polfelfed of no confiderable
eftate, were one of the moll ancient families in the
-county. They were forebers of the forelt of Gilling¬
ham, as early as t. H. III. and feem afterwards to
have been feated at Marnhull. They occur here
about the time of the diffolution. Nicholas the laft
of this family married Ann Bewnell of Comb-Kaines,
but dying without iffue 17-65, his eftate came to his
filler who married the rev. John Dalton of Shanks
c. Somerfet. This Nicholas gave for his arms Az. a
lion rampant between 8 crofslets O, which arms are
different from thofe afhgned by Mr. Coker to this
family. Some of this name occur fheriffs of Gloucef-
terfhire 48 and 51 E. III. and in the lift of the gentle¬
men of that county 12 H. VI. Clowerwall in the
parifh of Newland in Gloucefterfhire belonged anci¬
ently to a family called Joyce, now extinft, but which
gave different arms, G. 3 oak leaves proper between
a chevron.0
The Shirleys have been long feated here. 14 E. IV.

releafes to Nicholas Peter her fon lands in E. and W.
Bakebere. 14 E. IV. fhe held at her death one
melfuage and 70 acres of land here in dower, of the
inheritance of John Peter, to remain after her death
to William fon and heir of John Peter, her next
heir. 36 H. VIII. William Peter of Milton c. Hants,
fold 38 acres of land here to William Shirley of Bag¬
bere, whofe defcendants acquired a pretty confiderable
WTON CASTLE. 4ir

Church-Land s.
The abbot of Milton held, as the inquifition of that
abbey fets forth, 5 E. II. lands in Bakebere in pure
alms by the gift of Roger Ragun, and had held them
70 years before. After the diffolution thefe lands
feem to have paffed to the Thornhulls of Thornhuil
and Wool land, and are faid in fome records to be
parcel of the manor of Woolland.
Bagbere or Loddon bridge in Bagbere, is a large
wooden bridge over the river Loddon, which fails
into the Stour a little below.
Plere was anciently a chapel of eafe, long fmee
defecrated. 23 Eliz. this chapel annexed to Stur-
minfter Newton, was granted to Edward Downing
and Peter Afloton. 28 Eliz. a ruinous chapel called
Bagbere was granted to Edward Read and heirs.
2 Eliz. tithes here belonging to Cranborn reftory
were demifed to Thomas Francis for life. 23 Eliz. a
portion of tithes late belonging to the abbot of
Teukefbury was granted to the faid Downing and
Afaton.

anciently a manor, now a farm in this will. Pvlr.
Coker w fays, “ It was a part of Lidlincb, and, was
“ once the feat of William Barett, whofe offspring
“ was long fmee extinguifhed.” 34 Id. VI. John
Herring held lands in Bakebere, whence they paffed
to the Williams's of Herringbone. 8 H. VIII. John
Williams, fen. held at his death one meffuage and
80 acres of land in Bagbere called the manor of Perry
Court, held of John Goffe, value 40 s. s 3 E. VL
John Williams, jun. at his death held the fame of
the king, as of his du,tchy of Lancaber, by rent of
2 s. 11 Eliz. Robert Williams at his death held a
meffuage and 290 acres of land here, and in Stur-
minber-Newton, of John Goffe, by rent of one pound
of pepper, value 4I. 13 s. 4d. In 1645 Mr. John
Williams’s farm called Perry Houfe, value' 1641
40 1. was fequeilered. Hence it came to the Brunes
of Plumber.
Colbere, Colour y,
anciently a manor and hamlet, now only a parcel
of grounds that bill retain that name. It does not
occur in Domefday Book, except it be ColeJberiet
which then belonged to the king. But it is certain
i: afterwards belonged to the abbey of Glabon*

two villates for one knight’s fee as mefne lord be¬

Colbere and /Manor his wife, and his heirs all his
lands, &c. in Colbere, Sturminfter Abbas, and Stoke,
with ward, relief, &c. On which Robert de Col¬
bere acquired feveral parcels adjacent to the manor
of Colbere by divers forfeitures : and by charter
20 E. II. gave this manor to Richard clerk his
brother, with lands, &c. in Sturminfter Abbas, in
Stokk in the hundred of Cranborn, and in Stokke in
the hundred of Pimperne, with wards, &c. 5 E.
III. he granted them in like manner to Robert Rujfel
of Warham, and William de Widecomb , chaplains, as
they did 6 E. lit. to William de Seltone and John de
Faringdon , clerks. They 7 E. III. granted the
premiles to Adam de Sobbury abbot of Glafton. Thus
this manor with the abovefaid lands, &c. [quid in
abbatis dominico , quid in fervitio, ] both what the abbot
held in demefne and in fervice, were appropriated to
and held of them Hence the abbot by a new as
well as an ancient right, has a power \_habet aftionem ]
of requiring regal fervices of all that held by mili¬
tary ferviccs at thofe places x.

is now an ancient manfion houfe. The farm belong-

mg to it lies in the parifhes of Belchalwel, Chdd-
Ockford, and Ockford Fitzpain. It is fituated on
the S. fide of the Stour, one mile and half S. E.
from Sturminfter. Mr. Coker fays?, “It anciently
acknowledged for its lord William Latimer, defcend-
ed from a younger branch of the Latimers of York-
fhire, whofe only heir was long fince married to
Spencer of Devon : but now it giveth habitation to
the Wites, unto whom good alliance came by an
heir of Nicholas Martin of Athelhampfton,” 8 H. VI.
Nicholas Latimer of Fittleford occurs in an old deed.
Mr. Coker feems under a miflake in making Spencer
to have married the heirefs of Latimer : fhe more
probably married Apreece of Walhingley, c. Hunt¬
ingdon. Indeed it appears that there were two more
coheirelfes, who married Creukerne and Halfe of
Devon ; for Mr. Coker has evidently confounded this
family with that of Duntifti, whereas they were
different families, though perhaps originally defcend-
ed from the fame common anceftor. See Duntifti in
Buckland Abbas.

The Church of Sturminster Newton
dedicated to St. Mary , (lands on the S. fide of the
town, and is a large itrudure built by John Selwood
abbot of Glafton, &c. It confilts of a chancel, on
the N. fide of which is a fmall ifle, a nave, and a
N. and S. ifle equal to it. The tower is of a moderate
height (embattled, and a pinnacle at each corner) in
which are five bells, a faint’s bell, and a clock and
-chimes. The whole fabrick is tiled. The chancel is large,
compafs roofed, and the pannel over the altar painted
and gilt. There is a wainfcot altar piece, on which
are the Lord’s Prayer and Ten Commandments.
There are two apertures in the wall that divide the
chancel from the nave. The ifle on the N. fide of the
chancel is fmall, and is now ufed for a veftry, but was
anciently no doubt a chapel or chantry, for in the
W. wall is a nich, which once held fome image.
On the W. fide of this ifle, is this infcription,
on a piece of white marble :
Here lieth the body of Harnnet Ward,, dodor of
pbyfic, who died on the 7th. day of Auguffi,
in the year of our Lord 1705, in the 85th year
of his age.
The nave is compafs roofed, fupported by three
pillars and four elliptical arches. There are five
windows on each fide over the ifles, in fome of
which are fix or feven fmall images of women kneel¬
ing with books in their; hands.
The N. ifle belongs to Bagbere, near the W. end
of which is a mural monument of freeflone with this
infcription :
Near this place lieth the body of Mary, the
wife of John Farr , who departed this life
December the 3d, 1731.
A blue (lone on the floor commemorates the
Laid Mr. Farr , who died 1743.
The S. ifle belongs to Fittleford farm.
The arms on the tower, mentioned by the anony¬
mous author before cited, are not now extant. Coats'
of arms on the outfide of towers or other parts of the
church fhew that they were built by per ions to'
whom thofe arms belonged.
The Rector-?.
Robert, abbot of Glaflon, who died 1178, gave the
tithes of Newton and Kentlefworth to his convent.
Abbot Robert Pederton, who died 1 2 74, appropriated
this church with the confent of Walter bp. of Sarum
and that chapter, and afiigned it to feveral offices a. But
in after-ages it feems to have been appropriated to the
camerarius of that houle. In 1291 it was rated at twenty
marks, and a portion of 7 s. was payable out of it
to the prior of Cranborn. 35 H. VIII. the redory
and advowfon of the vicarage was granted to queen
Catherine , and 4 and 5 E. VI. to the princefs Eliza¬
beth. 4 Eliz. the redory of Newton, lands called
Combes in that manor, and fhambles \macelhf\
were granted to Thomas Howard, efq. and heirs.
16 Eliz. the redory, advowlon of the vicarage, and
the chapel of Bagbere, were granted to Francis Gold-
fmith , and 23 Eliz. to Edmund Dozvning and Peter
Ajhton, and. their heirs. Hence it came to the
Hewmgs of Pox well. In 1652, 1653, Mr. Henry
Henning’s old rents for the impropriation value 61.
were fequeflered. The heirefs of Henning, brought it
to the Tr&nchards.
The Vicarage.
The patron before the Reformation was the abbot
of Glajlon. Since it paffed with the redory for fome
time ; then it came to the Frekes of Shroton, and
from them to the Pitts of Stratfield Say. In 1553,
1 Mary, Chriftopher Inkpenn, vicar here and rector
of Mamhull, demifed the vicarage and chapel of
Bagbere and redory to Francis Goldfmith , paying
17 1. for Sturminfter, and 31 1. for Marnhulh The

Cheselborne. ** Milton Abbas.
Hilton. Stoke-Wake.

Melcomb-Horsey.
THIS hundred takes its name from the white or
chalky road from Binghams Melcomb to Hil¬
ton, where, near the top of the hill, on the left hand
of the road, is or was a bufh or tree on Newton
farm in the parifh of Hilton, where the hundred
courts were formerly held. In the Inquifitio Gheldi
the prefent name does not occur, but there is a
hundred (filed Haltona , confiding of eighty fix
hides, which was perhaps the ancient name of this
hundred, the courts having always been kept in the
parifh of Hilton. This hundred always belonged to
the crown, and was granted to feveral perfons as
Eggardon hundred was. It dill remains in the crown,
and the courts are kept by the fheriif of the county.
CHESELBOURNE,
Ceofclburne , Long-Chcfelbourne,
is a pretty large parifh fituated in a vale about two
miles S. E. from Melcomb-Horfey , and confifts
chiefly of arable and fheep paflure. It derives its
name from the Saxon word Eheyel, gravel, and Bourne,
a brook.
King Ethelred, A. D. 859, indicd. 3. gave two
caffates here to prince Aljlan , in which charter the
Saxon bounds are mentioned ; alio five hides here to
alderman Elflan, fans date a. King Edmund, A. D.
943, indift. 15. confirmed to Wenfled a nun and
the church of Shafton, feven manfes here anciently
given by his predeceffors to that church b.
In Domefday Book c, Cefeburne belonged to the
abbey of Shajlon : it confided of fixteen hides, worth
16 1. This manor and Store [i. e. Stour . ]
earl Harold took from the church of St. Mary at-
Shafton, T. R. E. But king William caufed this to be
reflored, becaufe in the church was found a writ
with king Edward’s feal, commanding that it fhould
be reflored to the church with Melcome, which the
king yet holds. Roger held Ceofclburne of the wife
of Hugh, the fon of Grip : it confided of two
carucates once worth 50 s. now 30 s. This land
Hugh held of the abbot of Abbotfbury, as his men
fay, but the abbot denies it.
“ In Chefelburn Godricus de half hid. 15 d. h opus

“ horreum fuum cum carro & quando ducet tota die

record adds, that the faid tenant, for a greater number
of beads, “ Jloridum dabit ad pafcham pro uno-
“ quoque.”
20 E. III. the abbefs of Shajlon held here three
fees and a half formerly held by her predeceflors. In
this monadery it continued till the diffolution, after
which, 31. H. VIII. the manor and advowfon and
lands here, were granted to 'Thomas Arundel, knt.
and his heirs ; but he foon after forfeiting them for
. O
high treafon, they were 6 E. VI. granted to Edward
Fienes , lord Clinton and Say, and his heirs ; but
7 E. VI. to Margaret, wife of fir Thomas Arundel
for life, as part of her dower. 1 Mary, they were
granted inter alia to Matthew Arundel, efq. &c. And
1 1 Eliz. an annual rent of 3 1. 15 s. 10 d. ifluing out
of the manor was alfo granted to him and his heirs.
5 Jac. I. the manor was granted to Thomas lord
Arundel, and 1 2 Car. II. with the advowfon inter alia
to Henry lord Arundel and his heirs ; but thefe two'
lad grants feem to be only fome confirmation of the
title. I11 1645, lord Arundel of Wardour’s old rents
of this manor, val. 37 1. 6 s. were fequedered. Not long
after they were fold to Thomas Freke of Shroton, efq.
and from him defcended to the Pitts of Stratfield Say,-
and now belong to the hon. George Pitt, efq.
This manor feems to have been held for feveral
generations of the earls of Arundel, and perhaps
before of the abbey of Shadon, by the Ketes of this
place. I11 the Vilitation Book 1623 are given feven
defcents of them ; but no confiderable matches occur
in the Pedigree, or any thing that merits attention.
In 1586, acred and coat of arms was granted by Robert
Cooke Clarencieux to William Keyte of Chefilborn.
In the farm houfe are the arms of Fete ever the
chimney.
In a fubfidy roll 1661, Thomas Clark, efq. and
Elizabeth Keate, widow, are faid to be leffees here.
Perhaps the former was leffee of the manor, the
latter of the farm.
Within this manor feems to have been a freehold,
held 3 PI. IV. of the abbels, by John Syzvard at his
death, and 9 PI. VI. by John de la Lind, by fervice
of an eighth of a knight’s fee. 3 and 4 Phil, and Mary,
fir George Delalind held at his death a mefPuage and
lands here of William earl of Pembroke, as of his
manor of Shadon by yearly rent of 6 s. 8 d. yearly
value 4I. 13 s. 4 de. 33,37* Eliz. and 2 Jac. I.
the Moretons of Milborn St. Andrew at their death
held here a melTuage or farm of 17 .1 acres of Thomas
lord Arundel'. This freehold feems to be now
exilling, value 130 1. per annum, two thirds of which
are held by Mr. Pitt, and one third by Mr. Jeanes ,

It was probably the fame parcel of land that in
Domefday Book was held by Roger of the wife of
Hugh.
A namelefs rivulet rifes here a little above the farm
houfe, and falls into Devil’s or Develifh Brook, below
Divelifh. Near this rivulet and the road from Mil-
ton to Cerne at the W. end of the common is a
fmall ancient work, which feems to have been never
finifhed.
The Church
is fituated on the W. fide of the parifh, and confifls
of a chancel tiled, a body with two ifles of equal
length with it, covered with lead, and a neat tower
embatteled and pinacled, in which are four bells.
In the Chancel, on a flat ftone within the rails
of the communion table is this infcription :
Here Ives all that was mortal of the reverend
divine Mr. Richard Basket , once the ornament
and delight of St. Magdalen College in Ox¬
ford, at laft the exemplary reftor of this
church and parifh, whofe pious foul took her
flight from hence to heaven, upon the 24th
of February, 1684.
Under the efcotcheon this infcription :
What life well led hath lefte, his juft report doth raife.
Who fpent his time in fuch a fort, as well deferves a praife.
A patron to the poor, a friend to each degree,
That gave his goods moft willingly, where neade might feme to be ;
Whofe well deferved lawde, though life the fame forfook,
Remaines with us in memory, for men thereon to looke ;
That as he lived and dyed, at laft to live againe,
Ourfelves may fhow as great an hope, with Chrift above to raigne ;
Five fons he left alive, five fons and daughters dead,
When he the waie which we rauft walke, himfelf to us he led.
His life it is not loft, his fpirit above the Ikies,
His love and fame amongft his friends, and here his body lies.
On the margin of this plate in Roman capitals:
CHRIST IS TO ME LIFE, AND DEATH IS TO ME ADVANTAGE.
In the fame grave lies interred, Mrs. Uritb
Basket , the moft worthy wife of fuch an ex¬
cellent hufband , who, being full of good
works and days, departed this life the 27th

of the reftors, there is but this one remarkable entry,

1663,
The Rectory.
The ancient patron was the abbefs of Shajlon :
fince the diflolution the patronage has belonged to
the lords of the manor, now to .
An acre of wheat is fown on the farm yearly for the

of five marks was paid out of this reftory to the rec¬
tor of Hydington or Ludington, c. Wilts.. By the:
ancient foundation of the prebend of Ludington, a

at the time of the ancient foundation of that pre¬

much con tefl: ; for 20 Oft. 1438, there was a com-
pofition made between John Mafon reftor of Ohefel-

of. Ludingron, by John Hafhrd official of the arch¬
deacon of Dorfet, he. arbiters between them, by
whom it was decreed that the rc&or of Chefelborne
fliould have all the tithes great and fmall in the parifh
and demefnes, paying to the reffor of Ludington nine
marks yearly. The abbefs of Shafton and the two
reftors gave their confent to, and the bifhop of

The return to the commlffion id^o was, that
Jofeph Hall and his father ferved the cure of late,'
and had . the profits of the parfonage^ but there
being a difference' between him and the parifhioners,
it was uncertain who would be minifter. They had:
no chapel ; the tithe of thxr parifh was worth 100 1.
per annum. The glebe and pafture for fheep and
cattle 30 1. per annum.
It is in Whitchurch deanry. .

HELTON
is a large parifh, lying about a mile N. W. from
Milton Abbas, and probably derives its name from
the Saxon J>?1 or freile, covered or hidden, and Ton ,
a town or place, it being furrounded with hills on
all fides, except on the S. E.
56 H. III. the abbot of Abbotfbury obtained a
charter for a market and fair here". Here is a wake
kept on St. Mary Magdalen’s day.
Orcus the founder of Abbotfbury monaftery, in the
time of Canute or Edward the Confeffor, gave to
that houfe the villages of Heltone and Anllie, which
were before given him by king Canute. In Domef-
day Book x the church of Abbedejberie held Eltone :
it confided of nineteen carucates and half, worth 15 1.
In 1293, the lands of the abbot here were valued at
19 1, 17 s. 6d y. 10 E. III. he had a charter of free
warren granted in this manor. 20 E. III. the abbot
held here one knight’s fee.
35 H. VIII. the manor and capital melfuage of

parcel of Cerne abbey, and lands in Aller, Anitey,
Pellbroke and Newton in Hilton, were granted to
J.ohn Leigh for 326 1. 2 s. 6 d. in exchange for lands
in Surry, Kent, and Berks. Sir J, Leigh alienated
many lands in Aller, Rawlsbury, Pallbroke, Newton
and Anftey, t. H. VIII. and E. VI. 8 Eliz. Agnes
[or as others JSlaleF] daughter and heir of fir J.

Strode of the Middle Temple, efq. But this grant
leems to have taken no effesft, for it continued after¬
wards in the earls of Kildare, one of whom fold it to

Alter. An hamlet lying about a mile N. W;
from Hilton, of which manor it was anciently a mem¬
ber. Here is the fource of a little rivulet, called by
Hollinglhead Devils-Brook (which probably means
Devilifh Brook, from the vill of that name) which,
' palling by Bingham’s Melcomb and Devililh, falls
into the Frome near Burlefton. 18 Eliz. Robert
Ryves at his death held this hamlet of the queen, by
fervice of half a knight’s fee, value 6 1. 19 s. id.
45 Eliz. lands here were held in chief by the earl of
Kildqre , who had licence to alienate to Ryves.
Ansty. A little hamlet, fituated one mile and
half N. W. from Helton. Sir H. Chauncy derives
a place of the fame name in Hertfordlhire (in
Domefday Book Anejlige, and called by the Saxons
Heajiige) from Hean, - high, and Stige, a pathway
from the fteep hill, and ahe pathway that leads over
it. It formerly belonged to the abbey of Abbotsbury ,
and is now divided into Upper and Lower Anfty.
After the diffolution, lands in the homage of Anfty
were held 5 E. VI. by fir J. Leigh , and 45 Eliz. by
the earl of Kildare as in Aller. The Pyfmgs, a
family of fonie note, had an eftate here. Hugh
Pyfing of Anfty occurs .go Eliz. and we meet with
them in the regifter till 1670. They feem to be descen¬
dants of an abbot of Abbotsbury of that name.
In Upper Anfty there is a handfome feat, and a
Imall eftate belonging to Bouchier Syndercomb , gent.
Cothays, a farm near Aller, perhaps the Out-
hays vvhich occurs in old records. From the Frekes
of Shroton it came to .
Hatherley, now fome grounds in the hamlet
of Anfty, which afford nothing remarkable.
The Church of Helton
is dedicated to All Saints , and .ftands at the N. end of
the parifh. It is an ancien*, pretty large, and .neat
building, and confifts of a chancel, body, and two
ifles of equal length with the body. The tower is of
a moderate height, adorned with pinnacles and battle¬
ments, and in it are four bells.
In the north ifle are feveral large windows, in which
were much painted glafs, but it was all deftroyed by
fome idle perfons about 1730. At the upper end,
on an efcotcheon of ftone work are thefe coats,
quarterly 1 and 4 erm. on a fefs, three lions rampanry
2 and 3, an eagle rifing: creft, an arm holding in the
hand a lance with a pennon. Under it is an altar
tomb in which one of the Pyfmgs of Anfty is faid to
be buried.
At the lower end of the ifle are thefe tirms on the
wall in ftone work, 1. a crols engrailed between four
lilies, the arms of Cerne abbey. 2. A crofs tau,
on which is a pilgrim’s ftaff. 3. A lion rampant in a

Mr. Antram has entered a memorandum in the
regider, 1660, That in the time of the civil wars, he;
was by the power of the fword violently kept out of
his living, from 1646 till Michaelmas 1660, when
he was by law redored, fo that in that compafs of
time the regider has been kept very imperfect.
There is alfo this memorandum entered by Snooke,
one of the intruders, which is remarkable on account
of the bad hand, orthography, and fenfe, and Ihews
what able miniders thole unhappy times produced j
“ 1649. At my fird coming to this place, about

lection of inquifitions we are informed that
Galfridus de Cerne, the firft of that name, lord of
this manor, t. R. I. “ was father of Philip , whofe
fon fir Henry died 24 E. I. from whom, by two
Johns and two Edwards , it delcended to Richard ,
who died without iffue, leaving for his heir John de
Cerne his kinfman in the feventh defcent. But
Richard before his death fold this manor to Robert
Turges , in whole family it remained for two

Leland feems to give us the beft account of the
fucceeding lords of this manor. He fays, “ Melcomb
“ is one of the faireft lordlhips in Dorlertfhire, that
“ has been in mean mennes hands. It' is about
“ 100 1. by the year. It is about two miles from
“ Cerne. It was the oldeft inheritance of the Tur-
“ gefis. [Bruning and Cerne were the ancient lords
“ of Melcomb. Bruning had a daughter and heir
“ caullid Dionyfia. Cerne, having no iffue, fould
“ his part to T urges, who married Diony fu J The
“ laft Turges of Melcomb’s daughter and heir was
“ fir John Horfey’s mother, and he hath it by her.
“ There is an old maner place of the Turges, in
“ whofe name this lorufhip was about three de-
<c fcentsV*
The heirefs of Bruning brought his eftate here to
Turges. The Brunings occur here 39 E. III. anti
feem to have fucceetied to the Bailee’s eftate alter
the Mandevilles. In the Sarum regifters this place
is called Melcomb Bryning from them ; but we do
not find them alternate patrons here with the Cernes,
or that they ever prefented to this rectorv, fo thac
they were probably foon extinft: nor does it appear,
that they were the fame family feated at Melbury
Sampford. John Brouning held here a meffuage
and two carucates of land of Edward Cerne by
knight’s lervice.
Richard de Cerne , the laft of that family, who died
9 H. VI. might fell his part about 1385, in which
year Nicholas Turges prefented to this redtory, and
his defendants were afterwards alternate patrons with
the Cernes, as the Baffets and Cernes had been before.
Dr. Rawlinfon fays, John Cerne was heir to Richard,
and the inquifition taken on his death mentions John
Herring; but here muft be fome miftake, for neither
of thele families had any concern here after that
period ; neither can it be accounted for, that Roberc
Turges at his death, 1 E. IV. is faid in his inquifition
to hold no lands in Dorfet. Richard Turges the laft
of the family died 20 H. VII. We have very little
account of them. They were perhaps originally of
Hampfhire, in which county Turges, now Strarfield-
Turges, may anciently have given them name and habi¬
tation.
After all, the fiicceffion of the lords of this vill
is not fo clear as could be wifhed ; but the reader
ought to remember this is a cafe common to many
other places, owing to the fcarcity of records in feveral
reigns fucceeding the Conqueft ; and even when they
became more numerous about the reign of EJ. III.
many of them have periffed in the ruins of time.
Elence the feries is often interrupted, and many
chafms occur, which occafions much obfeurity and
confufion : and even with regard to thofe chat have
come down to our times, the moft eminent anti¬
quaries and tranferibers are not always accurate, fo
that we are often left very much in the dark. And
the antiquary finds himfelf in the fituation of a de-
cypherer who wants a fufficient quantity of cypher
to form his key. Innumerable inftances of this
occur in the hiftory of moft countries, and accounts
of ancient families.
From the Turges’ this eftate came to the Horfeys
of Clifton, and from fir George , the laft of that ta-

mily, to fir Thomas Freke by mortgage, and from
his dcl'cendants to the Pitts of Shroton and Strarfield
Say, and now belongs to George Pitt , elq.
The manor has been long extinfl •, and of the
ancient vill there now remains only Mr. Pitt’s fear,
a farm houfe, and two or three cottages.
Mr. Pitt’s Teat ftands in a pleafant vale, fur-
rounded by gently rifmg hills. It is a large flruc-
ture, and built, as Mr. Coker faysr, “ in our fathers
“ days by fir John Horfey,” the crefl of whofe
family is on the top of the E. part of the houfe, and on
each fide of the great gate. It feems to have been
ornamented, if not enlarged, by the Freket. The
great parlour, Withdrawing room, and the dining¬
room above flairs, are three noble and well propor¬
tioned rooms, and the two former are wain footed
to the top. In the withdrawing room is a good pic¬
ture of Thomas Freke, efq. the lafl of the family.
On a pane of glafs in the W. window are the arms
and crefl of Freke , which feem to have been placed
here by fir Thomas, Sa. 2 bars O. in chief 3 mullets
of the fecond ; crefl, a bull’s head erafid Sa. collared,
horned and chained, O. On the chimney piece of
the great dining room is T. F. [ Thomas Freke] 1 659.
This eflate was his patrimony, and he refided here,
till by his elder brother’s death he became pofleflcd
of Shroton eflate.
On the N. fide of the houfe (lands a large and
handfofne domefiic chapel, built by fir Thomas
Freke out of the ruins of an old parochial chapel.
It is neatly pewed, has a pulpit, font, communion
table, two large fiaggons of filver and a chalice, on
which is Ex dono T. Freke de lwerne Courtney com.
Dorfet arm. 1669. In an arch is a little bell. Mr.
Freke, whofe favourite feat this was, though he
generally refided at Shroton, dug a vault here, and
intended to have had this chapel confecrated, and to
be buried here, but it was never done. The redlor
of Melcomb fometimes baptizes and marries in it,
and officiates when the family is here.
A little W. of the houfe, in a ground called Chapel
Clofe, are the ruins of a chapel. The foundations are
vifible, and it feems to have had a tower, by a large
heap of ruins at the W. end. It has been ruinated
beyond the memory of man. Foundations of houfes,
the remains of the ancient hamlet, are to be l'een
near it. 12 cal. Apr. 1302 the bifhop of Sarum
cites John de Cernelio, parifhioner of Melcomb,
to prove his right to ei\-£l an oratory at Upmelcomb,
and a claim to a perpetual chantry s. 1303 Robert
de Winchcumb rehtor of Melcomb complains to the
bifhop, that his parifbioners abfented from church
a month, out of contempt of him, and by the per-
fuafion of malignants on Sundays and holidays : and
that Henry, brother of John de Cerne of Over-
melcomb, and Richard Atte Frr.e’e, fervant of the
laid John, prefumed to receive oblations on Michael¬
mas day in the chapel in the court of the faid John,
fituate in that parifh, belonging to the faid redlor.
On which the bifhop orders the parifbioners to re¬
pair to church, and fatisfy the rector tor the obla¬
tions h 19 El:z. a chapel in Melcomb- Horfey, and
two meadows called Chapel ahd Lady mead, were
granted to Peter Gray , &c.
Domefiic chapels were oratories belonging to the
houfe of Tome great perfon, lirenced by the bifhop
to celebrate divine fervice in, in cafe of diftance from
the panlh church, or of great infirmities.
On Ncttleccmb Tout , an high hill in this parifh
about a mile W. from Melcomb houfe, is a fortifi¬
cation almofl fquare ; the area near 20 acres. On
the E. and S. fide is an high rampart and ditch: on
the W. and N. where the hill is exceeding fleep,
there are only traces of both, as if left unfinifhetfi
The entrance is on the E. where is an advanced
rampart. No coins were ever found here. From
this hill is a very extenfive profpedt over all the
vale of Blackmore, and part of Gillingham Foiefl,
to Mere, TIindon, and almofl to Briftol, to Montea-
cute hills, Glaflonbury Torr, and other parts of
Somerfetfhire. On the fame ridge of hills about half
a mile E. is a part of it called Browdon Hill, whence
is a very wide profpedl. On the S. is feen the ifie
of Portland, on the E. the ides of Wight, Purbeck,
and Browniea, the bays of Pool, and Studland, Corf,
and LulKvorth caflles, and part of Cranborn Chace.

meadow called Comb, parcel of Milton abbey, ly¬

Twenty Acres, which belongs to this farm, but lies
in the middle of Lyfcomb Farm.

This vill, formerly a manor and hamlet, (lands
about a mile and a half E. from Melcomb-Horfey,
on the banks of a rivulet called Devils Brook. The
manor has been long extinguifhed, and the hamlet
depopulated •, on the S. fide of the church are the
remains of it, and foundations of many houfes in the
meadow. It receives its additional denominations
from the family of the Binghams, which has been
feated here feveral ages, and from its fituation with
regard to Melcomb-Horfcy.
John Potenger, efq. fon of John Potenger, D. D»
refided here a great part of his life, with his fon in
law Mr. Bingham. Fie was comptroller of the pipe,
and was a gentleman of much integrity, knowledge,
and piety. He died 1733, aged 87, and was buried
at Highworth c. Wilts. Plis father was fellow of
New College, and afterwards mailer of Winchefler,
fchool which he refigned, and died about 1659 c.
The manor very anciently belonged to the Tur-
bervils •, whether, or how, they were related to thofe of
Bere-Regis is very uncertain. But the lords of
Higher Melcomb feem to have been lords para¬
mount. 6 John, Henry de Turbervil accounted for
4 s. for having a writ de rehlo concerning five hide3
in Melcumb, which he claimed of Hugh fil. Wil-
fielmi11. 9 John, a day was appointed to Henry de
Turbervil petent, and Henry de Ferrariis deforciear,
concerning one hide in Melcumb, and they chole
twelve knights to determine it, but they came not*.

father of John Maltravers, was leifed in demefne
of four carucates of land in Melcumb, which .Richard

Bingham c. Somerfet, by marriage with the daughter
and*heir of Robert Turbervile of this place, about the
time of H. III. or E. 1. Hence the Binghams always
have, and ftill do, quarter the arms of Turbervile.
This ancient and knightly family (originally feated
in Somerfetfhire, at Sutton-Bingham,) or fome
branches of it, had very early a concern in this
county, or the confines of the former.
There was an ancient family of this name feated in
Nottingham (hire. The Binghams or Buggs of
Lake in that county were extinft about 1 H. IV.
They gave for their arms O. on a fefs G. 3 water
budgets A. Bingham of Carcolfton in the fame
county was extinft t. Eliz. and gave the fame arms
as thofe of Lake. There were other branches of
this family in Nottinghamshire z. Another branch
was feated at Middleton c. Warwick, in which
church is a tomb for fir Richard Bingham, knt.
juftice of the king’s bench, who died 22 May,
'1476, and Margaret his wife. His arms were only
a fefs \ By the difference of their arms they feem
to be no ways related to thofe of this county.
There ftill exifts in Ireland a branch of the Mel-
comb family of confiderable note. In 1734 Henry
Bingham, efq, was made privy counfellor of Ireland.
In 1*749, Sir John Bingham, bart. knight of the (hire
and governour of the county of Mayo, died at
Caftle-Bar, and was fucceeded by his eldeft fon
John. In 1750, Sir John Bingham, bart. knight of the
ihire for the county of Mayo, died aged 22, and was
fucceeded by his brother Charles.
Near the church is the ancient feat of the Bing¬
hams. The hall and the weft part of the houfe feem
the oldeft ; the former, by fome arms in the windows
might have been built about the time of queen Mary.
On the outfide front of the oriel are the arms of

Harpers or Harefoot-Lane
is a little hamlet lying about half a mile N. \V.
from Binghams Melcomb, to which part of it be¬
longs, as the reft of it does to the hamlet of Aller in
Hilton, to which it adjoins.
The Church
dedicated to St. Andrew , is a little, ancient, but neat
fabrick, fituated at the eaftern extremity of the
panfh, near rhe feat of the Binghams in Bingham’s
Melcomb. It confifts of a chancel covered with
tile, a body covered with lead, and two fmall ides on
the N. and S. fides, both tiled. The tower is of a
moderate height, and embattled, and contains 3
belis.
In the eaft window of the chancel are the arms of
Targes , (Az. a chevron between 3 crofslets O. firche
in a bordure of the 2d) and another coat broken
our. The altar piece is wainfeoted, and •orna¬
mented with the Creed, Lord’s prayer, and ten com¬
mandments in gold letters on a black ground, at
the expence of John Potenger, efq. On the floor is
a large blue ftone, which formerly had a figure,
and an efcotcheon at each corner ; but the brafles
are all torn off, nor does any tradition remain who
was buried there.
In the N. ifle is the burial place of the ancient
family of the Binghams, who were generally buried
here, except during the time they reflded at Quar-
relfton, when they buried in the N. ifle of the

MILTON-

Hundred of W
H I
T E W A Y.
M I L T O N - A B B A S,
Micldleion-Abbas , Abbey-Milton .
This town derives its ancient name of Middleton
(of which its prefent name Milton is a contraction)
from its fituation, which is as near the center of
the county as its irregular form will permit. It
was called Middleton, or Milton -Abbas, from its lords
the abbots. About 1566, in an old will, it is filled
Milton -Tregonwell ; but that flile did not obtain
long. It lies fix miles S. W. from Blandford, in a
deep vale, enclofed by very deep chalky hills on the
N. and S. It is a large parilh, confiding of meadow,
arable, and padure, all enclofed : the foil chalk and
gravel. It was formerly much larger, many ruins
and foundations of houfes being vifible on the fide of
the rivulet, towards Milborn, Luckham, Huifh, and
Bagbere, now only farm houfes, though then probably
hamlets. It is didant 92 computed, and m mea-
fured miles from London.
The earlied mention made of it is in the reign of
king Atheldan, who, founding a monadery here,
brought it into repute ; nor indeed was it ever confi-
derable upon any other account.
Its ancient market was granted by king Atheldan,
and confirmed 8 E. I. It was kept on Monday, but
at prefent on Tuefday, and is^ very inconfiderable.
Its ancient fair was granted by the fame prince, and
kept on the eve and fead of St. Sampfon, the 27 th
and 28th of July. A fair and free warren was. granted
14 H. III. p The abbot had a charter for a market,
fair, and free warren here 1 ; but it is now changed
to the Tuefday after St. James’s day, and is alfo very
fmall. 22 Car. II. a fair was granted to John Tre¬
gonwell, efq. This was kept at Windmill-Alb, on
St. Boniface’s day, 5 June, &c. and laded a week.
It fiourifhed much, till a perfon who farmed it, at¬
tempting to remove it into the town, totally ruined
it ; and it has not been kept for many years.
Ir feems extraordinary that a place fo confiderable
for its abbey diould have efcaped Mr. Leland : yet
he has not a word about it in his Itinerary, but con¬
founds the name with Melcomb, which he writes
Milton r.
This place gives the title of baron to the right hon.
Jofeph Darner, lord Milton, fo created May 30,
1750.
Thomas Jan, Janne, or Jane, was born here, edu¬
cated at Wincheder fchool, became fellow of New
College, 1456, do&or of decrees, and commilfary of
the univerfity of Oxford, 1468; and, having been
fucceffively promoted to feveral benefices and digni¬
ties, was in 1480 collated to the archdeaconry of El'-
l'ex; in 1497 made dean or canon of Windfor, and dean
of the king’s chapel ; Oft. 17, 1490, was confecrated
bilhop of Norwich; died Sept. 1500, and was bu¬
ried in that cathedral. He feems to have been rec¬
tor of Winterborne-Stickland, 1473. His arms were,
V. a lion rampant O. furmounted by a fefs G.
He was a benefactor to New College, to which he
gave lands at Curtlington, c. Oxford, 10 H. Vli.
and to St. Mary’s church in Oxford s. The name of
Jane occurs in Milton Regifter 1580.
In 1 658, Auguft 4, the upper part of the town,
from the middle of the main llreet to the church, to¬
gether with the fchool, was burnt by an accidental
fire. In 1 661 a brief was granted.
In 1638 were buried here, between Augufi and
March inclufive, 45 males and 36 females, which is a
very great number ; for, in 1712, when the fmall-pox
was very fatal here, there died only 19 males and 19
females. So that the parifh was formerly more po¬
pulous, or this was fome very contagious diflemper.
The Manor.
In Domefday Book 1 it belonged to the abbey, and
is there ftiled the head of it ; and indeed the whole
parifh was given by king Athelflan to the monaftery,
who held it in chief of the king, and did no fervice
for it, but only prayers for the fouls of him and his
fuccelfors. Before the Conquefl, the bifliops and
abbots held their lands in frank almoign or pure
alms, free from all fecular fervices, except the trinoda
necejfitas , i. e. a fupply for the wars, building of
bridges, and repairing of caftles, which were ufually
excepted in all grants of this nature. They enjoyed
this privilege till 4 VV. I. when the king feized all
church lands held in frank almoigne into his hands,
and granted them back again to be held of him by
knight’s fervice in chief ; and fo turned their poffel-
fions into baronies and knights fees, appointing what
number of foldiers they fhould furnifh in the wars.
This was thought reafonable, becaufe it rendered the
churchmen more dependent on the crown ; and, their
poffeffions being very great, had they continued ex¬
empt from the defence of the kingdom, the burden
would have fallen very heavy on the laity, who would
have alfo proved infufficient in time of danger.
The manor of Middletone was held of the king in
chief, in free, pure, and perpetual alms, of the gift
and feoffment ot king Athelftan, performing no ler-
vice but prayers only. And they have in that manor
26 hides of land, and the liberties of infangthef, foe,
fac, tol, them, wayf, amendment of the affize of
bread and beer, .
.... gallows, pillory, tumbrel, and one fair yearly
on the eve and day of St. Sampfon ; a weekly market
on Mondays, and all the rights [i judictalia ] belong¬

In the Cuffomary of Milton there were then eleven
free tenants in fee, eight tenants for term of life,
two cuffomary tenants ot a virgate of land, 3 1 virga-
tariiy who held a virgate of land each, 10 half w-
gatarii, feven tenants of eight acres of land, 106
cottagers. In this furvey are thefe remarkable par¬
ticulars.
John Gervays, a free tenant in fee, held two caru-
cates of land here of the abbot and convent, in free
focage, paying yearly 3 s. 6 d. ob. q. and owes fuit
at the court of the abbot twice a year ; viz. at the
court of St. Michael and Hokkcday, and for trying a

3 d. Henry de Loucombe, or Lhuccome, held for
life a meffuage and curtilage, paying yearly 3 d. and
owes fuit at court twice a year, value yearly 6d.
Robert, vicar of Whitchurch, held for term of
life a melfuage, paying yearly at Michaelmas 1 2 d.
for all fervices.
The facrilt held one virgate of land, paying yearly
3 s. 4d. for all fervices, and had in the common
padure 100 Iheep.
John Giffard, and the other virgatarii, were obliged
to carry the viftuals of the monks through the whole
county at their own charges, and out of the county at
the monks expence.
Robert le Venn, a cottager, held one mefluage and
a curtillage, and three acres of land, paying yearly

herbs fufficient for the abbot and convent, and deli¬
ver them at the larder, and make a common fine
[finem~\ with the reft of his' neighbours, and fhall

Soon after the diffolution, 23 Feb. 1539, 31
Id. VIII. the king granted to John Tregonwell, efq. in
confideration of 1000 1. and refigning a penfion of
40 1. per annum, the feite of the houfe of Milton-
Abbas, with the church, belfry, bells, and church¬
yard, advowfon of the vicarage, ‘ manor, and reftory,
with the chapels of Wolland, Lyfcombe, and Wyd-
combe, the tithes of the demefnes in Milton, Huilh,
Churchcombe, and a portion of tithes in Milborne St.
Andrew, to be held in chief by knight’s fervice, as
the tenth part of a knight’s fee, paying yearly
1 2 1. os. 4 d.
Sir John Tregonwell was a native of Cornwall, and
probably born at Tregonwell, in the parifii of Ma-
nacke, near Hellion. If this was his paternal eftate,
he feems to have parted with it ; for, 4 and 5 Philip
and Mary, Henry Beaumont, in lieu of 20 1. granted
an annuity of 40 s. to his brother John, out of his
manor of Tregonwell, in the county of Cornwall.
The old matriculation books of the univerfity of Ox¬
ford go no higher than queen Elizabeth’s reign, and
only give the name of the perfon, not the place of
his birth. He was firlt of Broadgates Hall, and af¬
terwards principal of Vine-Hall, or Peckwaters Inn,
now included in Chriftchurch College ; and was ad¬
mitted licentiate of civil law, June 23, 1522. There
was lately in the oriel at Milton an original picture of
fir John on board, done by Hans Holbein, in his
doftor’s robe and cap, in a very ftudious and thought¬
ful attitude. On it, Nofcc Tcipfum, A. Lb 153$,
Anno vero JCtatis 23. It was purchafed by Robert
Brown of Frampton, efq. The date of his age on
the pifture Ihould be 32, or elfe he took his dolor’s
degree very young ; and he rgle very early into re¬
putation.
At a hearing before cardinal Campeglo at Black
Friars, London, concerning the divorce, to which the
king and queen were cited, June 18, 1529, among
the king’s proftors was Dr. Tregonwell °. In 1530
he was fent by the king into France, Italy, and Ger¬
many, with the earl of Wiltfhire, chief ambaffador, Dr.
Cranmer, and others to difpute the matrimonial mat¬
ters of his majefty at R.ome, Paris, and other places *.
In 1533 he was employed as a mafter of chancery,
to report the determination of the clergy of the pro¬
vince of Canterbury met in convocation, Nov. 5,
1529, concerning the king’s marriage with queen Ca¬
tharine, and is there ftiled Vir egregius Johannes
Tregunnel, Legum Doctor, & a Confiliis Regis , i. e.
not a privy counfellor, but one of the king’s council
in the civil law L May 23, 1533, r^e fen-
tehee of divorce was pronounced at Dunllable by
archbilhop Cranmer, aflifted by the bilhops of Win-
cheller and Lincoln, and other civilians. Dr. Tre¬
gonwell was one of the counfel for the king. For his
fervice in this affair he was rewarded with a penfion of
40 1. per annum, and fome confiderable purchafes and
preferments z. In 1534 he was a commiffioner with
feveral others in making a peace with Scotland. In
this commiffion he is ftiled alfo a Confiliis Regis \ In
1534, in a commiffion of the king of Scotland to the
abbot of Kinlols appointing him his commiffary, he
is mentioned as one of the commiffaries of the king
of England, and ftiled chief judge of the admiralty1.
In 1538 and 1539, he was made one of the commif-
fioners to receive the refignation of religious houfes a.
In 1539, May 30, he and others were appointed to
bring in a bill to punilh luch as Ihould offend again ft
the fix articles ; which draught was approved by the
kingb. In 1544, a fpecial commiffion was iffued to
him and others, to fit in the court of chancery during
the abfence of fir Thomas Wriothelly, chancellor a.
In 1550 he was made one of the commiffioners of
the great feal, during the ficknefs of the lord chancel-
lor Rich c. He was knighted 2 Oft. 1553. 1 Mary,
the fame year, he was member for Scarborough, c.
York. In 1554, 1 Mary, he was Iheriff for this
county and Somerfet. From this time we hear no
more of him ; fo that we may fuppofe he fpent the
remainder of his days in his bufinefs in chancery, or
in retirement in the country. He muft have been a
man of much ability and policy to pafs through fo
many great employments in different reigns, and in
very unfettled times. Having acquired a great eftate,
he died Jan. 13, 1565, and was interred February
following at Milton. He died feifed of the manors,
&c. mentioned in king H. VlII’s grant; and alfo of
the manors of E. Pulham and Lowke, and lands in
Abbotlbury, and the reftory and donation of Wi-
therfton. He is faid to be brother of Alice South-
cote, wddow ; and his heir was John, foil and heir of
Thomas his fon, 1 5 years old.

Sir Jacob Bancks was born at Stockholm 1663 ;
and came into England with his uncle John Birkman,
count of Leyenbergh, embaffador of Sweden to our
court, as fecretary to the embaffy, 1681. He command¬
ed feveral Hi ips from 1691 to 1696, was a brave fea
officer, and was at the fiege of Cork, and the a&ion
at Malaga, in which laft he loft his (hip. Oil his
marriage with Mrs. Lutterel 1696, he quitted the fea
fervice, and was on half pay till the time of his death,
when he was the oldeft officer in the navy, his com-
miflion for captain bearing date 1690. He was
knighted 1699, and was member of parliament for
Minehead in Somerfetffiire. He was, 1716, taken
into cuftody on iufpicion of being concerned in a plot
with count Gyllenburgh the Swedifh envoy ; but
honourably difeharged foon after. He was never
naturalized, as the infeription on his monument in¬
forms us. He died at London 1724.
Jacob Bancks, efq. his fecond fon, was a moft
accomplilhed and well-bred gentleman, his perfon
graceful, his pretence noble, his deportment and ad-
drefs engaging, polite, affable, and humane. He had
a natural vivacity of fpirir, and a peculiar fweetnefs of
temper ; and he ftudied to be agreeable, without leffen-
ing his dignity. He was a true lover of his country,
a firm friend to the conftitution in church and ftate,
and extremely popular in this county, in which,
his intereft and reputation exceeded that of thofe
who were his fuperiors only in point of fortune. The
county and feveral boroughs courted the honour of
being reprefented in parliament by him. At all
public meetings, whether for bufinefs or diverfion, he
did credit to himfelf and country, and was the life and
foul of the company. During the whole courfe of
his life, he poffeffed and prelerved this popularity
entire, without vanity, pride, or affectation. His
generous difpofition led him to revive the old Englifii
fpirit of hofpitality. During the receis of parlia¬
ment he fpent moft part of his time in the couutry,
and kept up a good correfpondence with the neigh¬
bouring gentry and clergy. He was beloved by his
tenants and the honeft induftricus poor, whom he re¬
lieved and lupported by the trueft and moft rational
kind of charity, that of encouraging and employing
them.
Vol. II. 5 R
He was a patron of tnerit and virtue; His manner
of obliging charmed as much as the obligation itfelf ;
and he expreffed the fame fatisfa&ion in conferring a
favour, as they did who received it. He was a fincere*
warm, and conftant friend ; wherever he profeffed
a friendfhip, he wanted no folicitations, often fur-
prizing perfons with favours before unthought of. It
was one of the greateft pleafures of his life to ferve
a friend.
As foon as he came to his eftate, he (hewed Jais re¬
gard to his father’s memory, by difeharging a large
debt which he lay under no obligation to clear, but
that of honour and juftice: and this aCtion was the
foundation of his future reputation.
His probity and integrity were inflexible; he was
a lover of truth, a {brief obferver of his word and
the exadteft rules of honour, from which he never
deviated. Open, candid, and fincere, he fcorned
the mean arts of cunning, dillimulation, and defign, and
tempered the plainnefs and fimplicity of the ancient
Englifh with the politenefs of the modern.
On the death of fir Peter Mew, he was chofeil
member for Chrift-Church , Hants , and elefted
again 1727; but his ele&ion was made void. lit
1734 was chofen member for Shaftfbury, and
declined the honour of reprefenting the county,- hav¬
ing devolved his intereft therein to his friend.
Having lived beloved and efteemed, full of honour,
though not of days, a polypus of the heart put aif
end to his valuable life, Feb. 18, 1737, and he was
buried in the family iile here. This public lofs was
greatly lamented, and the more fo, as he died unmar¬
ried, leaving no heir of his body to copy the virtues
he was fo confpicuous for, and to enjoy the fortune'
he made fo noble and proper a ufe of.
I hope the world will not cenfure or condemn my
ambition to exprefs my gratitude, and perpetuate the
memory of a friend and patron, whom I muft ever
revere and lament : efpecially as his heir and re¬
lation erected no monument, nor charged the ftone
that covers him with the leaft infeription, to poinc
out to pofierity where the remains of fo worthy a
man are depofited.

MILTON ABBA S.
A * r*
This family of Damory, Delmarfi, or Dameer, by
all which names it is called in ancient deeds, at laft
Darner by contraction, was long fettled in Dorfet.and
Somerfet. William Damery, from whom defeended
a family feated in Dorfer, came to England with
William the Conqueror. Gilbert d* Amory, 15 H. II.
held lands, c. Somerfct. Another Gilbert, 22 E. I.
was in the expedition to Gafcoigne, and had three
fons ; firft, fir Roger , fummoned to parliament as a
baron, ii, 14, E. II. and alfo baron of Armoy in
Ireland, who married Elizabeth third lifter and coheir
of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucefter and Hertford,
niece to E. II. by whom he had two daughters and
coheirs, Elizabeth married to John lord Bardolph,
Eleanor to John de Raleigh anceftor of fir Walter
Rawleigh. Second, Nicholas , who 6 E. II. had lands
c. Oxon and Buckingham. He had iflue a daughter
Margaret , who died 28 E. III. and fir Richard his
heir, who 9 E. 11. w’as fteward of the houlhold, and
20 E. III. was fummoned as a baron to parliament.
He had a fon Richard , who ferved in feveral expedi¬
tions under that king, and died 49 E« III. without
iffue, and three daughters, Elizabeth married to fir
John Chandos, knight of the garter at the firft infti-
tution, Eleanor married to Roger Colling ; and Mar¬
garet. Sir Richard, third fon of Gilbert, continued
the line ; he held lands, c. Oxon, and divers of
that family were buried in the priory of Burcefter. He
was fucceeded by his fon Robert, father of Roger ,
whofe fon Robert had lands c. Oxon and Berks, and
was father of John D’amory of S. Molton, c. Devon,
who married the daughter of .... Eyre of Ather-
ington, and had three fons, George, Robert , who
married the relift of John Pollard of Comb-
Martin, and Anthony. George, the eldeft, had three
fons , John his heir , William , who married the
daughter of Leigh, and Anthony. John was feated1 at*
Chapel in the parilh of Bilhops Nemit, c. Devon,
by marrying with Emet, daughter and heir of John
Thomas of that place. He had one fon John, and
four daughters : Jane married to Hugh Elliot1, c.
Somerfet, Johanna married to Samuel Butcher of
Tiverton, c. Devon ; Alice and Helen. John their
brother married Prudence, daughter and coheir of
Richard Roberts of Comb-Martin, c. Devon, by
whom he had John and Prudence, living 1620.
hiftorians are filent. Only Bromofon f, and .Buchanan «,
whofe partiality againft Athelftan is notorious, posi¬
tively, aflert it* Almoft all modern hiftorians explode
it. It would be hard to account why the monks,
who were fond of this ftory, would take inch pains
to fully the charter of a prince, who was . their
great friend and patron, with fo black an action,
were we not apprifed how profitable a doftrine it was
to them, that the greateft grimes might be atoned by
the founding and endowing monaftcries, and in¬
deed this ftory feems calculated ro Rich purpofes.
The fame year . 937 or 8. Athelftan defeated the
confederate Scots and Danes at Bromfield, as the
regifter, or at Brunenburgh h, as the Saxon annals;
and becaule on the feftivaj of St. Sampfon, this luc-
cefs was forelhown him by God, in the place where
St. Catherine’s chapel now ftands at Milton, and a
miracle was wrought by . that faint in his favour* in
reftoring his fword which had dropt.out of the fcab-
bard, (though Malmsbury fays it was St. Aldelm
who reftoved it at the battle,) as well as to teftify his
repentance for his brother’s death, he. founded and
endowed this abbey. By a moft grofs anachroniftn
the regifter dates the begining of Athelftan’s reign,
A. D. 824 : the foundation of the abbey, a. r. 10;
and king Athelftan’s charter recited by Hen. I.
A. D. 843, in the royal vill of Dorchefter. The.
Rochefter annals’ place it 839, others 896 k. But
this is either owing to fome carelefs tranlcriber,
who dropt a numeral c, and wrote bcccxxiv, for
dccccxxiv, or to the vanity or ignorance of fome
monk, who affeffed to carry the antiquity of this
houfe as high as he could. It is- highly probable that
it was founded after the battle of Brunenburgh, which
the Saxon annals place, A. D. 938 in confequence
of lbme previous vow. Thef'e annals make Athlftan’s
reign commence 925, and end 941. Florence of
Worcefter fays the abbey was.founded 940 ; perhaps it
was finifhed that year. But after all, Athelftan’s Saxon
charter does not make the leaft mention of prince
Edwin. We mult obferve, that the hiftory of the
king is very obfeure, nor is the order of his tranfac-
tions well afeertained. There is a chafm of feven or
eight years, in which we are left quite in the dark,
which the happy invention of fome monk has filled
up by making him do penance during that time.
The Abbey.
The regifter of this abbey gives us a tedious and
romantic account of the founder and foundation, of
which I (hall only give the fubftance. King Athel¬
ftan, at the beginning of his reign, upon falfe fug-
geftions that his brother Edwin was concerting
meafures to deftroy him, caufed him to be fent to fea
in an open boat, with only one attendant. The
prince, overcome with defpair at his danger, leapt
overboard ; but his attendant, after great difficulties,
fwam to fhore at Witfand with his corpfe. The king,
repenting of his crime, confined himfelf by wav
of penance at Lamport, c. Somerfet, feven years, and
founded the abbey of Michelney, and, a. r. 10. A. D.
933, this abbey, by way of atonement for his crime;
But prince Edwin’s death is not well fupported :
William of Malmfbury e, whom this regifter follows
verbatim, does not feem to credit it ; other ancieilc
By the Saxon charter aferibed to this, king, as
above obferved, and printed in theMonafticoh 1. 1. 195,
he gave the following lands tb God, St. Mary, St.
Michael, St. Sampfon, and St. Branwalader, for his
foul and the fouls of his anceftors and fucceflors
kings of England ;
At Mtileburn twenty fix hides.

manor without licence.

There is a regifter of this abbey in the king’s re¬
membrance office.
In bifhop Chandler’s Regifter at Sarum, [inter afta,
fol. 51.] is a long and fcarce legible inftrument,
entitled Decretum Abb. (A Conv. de Middleton.
8 H. I. the abbot paid two marks feutage. 13, 14,
John the abbot held two knights fees °. This abbey
31 H. II. 1184, was in the king’s hands; and
Osbert de Dorceftre and Robert de Godmanftcn,
accounted for the farm of the manors belonging to it
for half a year p. 14 John, 1212, it was in the king’s
hands, as appears by an account of this abbey, for
three terms 1.
A. minijler of the church of Middleton certified to
king H. I. that his church had no knight feoffc-d,
either of the old or new feoffment, and only per¬
formed their due fervices; but in a vacancy of the
church, R. bifhop of Sarisberie took it into cuftody
by command of king H. I. and then the bifhop
feoffed one knight of a tenement, which R. de
Monafteriis held feodo cenfuali, (viz.) for two hides, and
alfo pofleft [ conjlituit ] another knight of a tenement
which Fil. Walteri held as before for two hides and
a half, afterwards R. his predeceffor, by the juftices
of king H. I. had thofe fees returned to their ancient
ftate, and theknights whom the bifhop conftituted were
made cenfurii , and fo held it in the time of his pre-
deceflfors, as do now their heirs, viz. William de
Monafteriis, and William Brito r.
The abbey lands were fur v eyed and valued by the
commiffioners at very low prices, in hopes of getting
fome part for themfelves. Great part of the profits
were in provifion of vittuals, corn, cattle, wood fales,
fines, many fervices, and other perquifites. St. Al¬
ban’s abbey, if the old lands were united, is worth
at this day in all rents, &c. 200,000 1 yearly, accord¬
ing to the improved rents. Glaftonbury 300,000 1.

tion of thefe houfes, the crown loll above too, 000 1.

The eftimatc or worth of thefe lands is very un¬
certain, becaul'e the commillioners gave it in at their
pleafure, and under-rated every thing in order to ob¬
tain grants for themfelves. Befides, they were fcarce
ever let at the tenth part of the real value, the pro¬
prietors being the bell of landlords, letting their lands
at the fame rate they had been 2, 3, or 500 years
before, notwithftanding the value of lands, as indeed
of all other things, had been continually increafmg ;
and iince the fupprefuon, thefe rents are advanced to
an incredible value. The lum total of the value of
-all the religious houfes in England and Wales, was
152,517 b 18 s. io^d. The neat fum was 131,607 b
6s. 4 td. which at twenty years purchafe is 3,050,340b
And if we allow what the real value of the land was,
i. e. including the frauds of the commillioners in their
returns, and the low rents for which they were really
let to the gentry and farmers that held them, they
cannot be fuppofed to be worth lefs than ten times
the value here mentioned; and at that rate the
amount will be 30,503,400 1 l. Yet this is not the
extent of what thefe lands are worth at this day, with
their improved rents. The return of the abbey of St.
Alban’s, valued by Mr. Udal at 200,000 b per
annum as the lands are now let, was only 2510 1.
6 s. i-b d. total, and the neat fum 2102 1. 7s. i^d.
per annum; which being fuppofed to have been ten
times as much, allowing for frauds and lownefs of
rent, Hill the whole is but 25,100b per annum, little
more than the eighth part of 200,000 b fo that the
other advance of eight times the value mufl arife
from the improvement of lands from that time to
this. The treafure of the lelfer abbies and their
moveable goods, amounted to 100,000 b as valued
by thofe who made ten times as much of it .
The original number of monks here, according to the
anonymous author in the Cotton Library, was forty,
which was afterwards reduced to twelve. At the elec¬
tion of abbot Bruton there were fifteen, at the diffolu-
tion twelve; but in both thefe cafes there might be
more, and thefe be only the numbers of thole who
concurred in that election and the furrender.

The Abbey Houfe.
There were more remains of this abbey than of
any other in the county. That it was fo entire, is
owing to fir John Tregonwel’s having an early delign
of procuring the grant of it, which preferved both it
and the church from that ruin and havock, which
generally attended religious houfes immediately upon
their difTolution. 1c flood on the W. part of the
town, on a riling ground clofe by the church. Its
form was a long fquare. The north front was a very
low ancient range of building, with fmall narrow win¬
dows, perhaps the dormitory or cells of the monks.
You entered by a large gate into a fmall court,
whofe old buildings were all very irregular in form
and height, as indeed was the whole fabric ; under a
window oppofite the porch was a W with a crown over
it, and an M with a crofier through it, and between
them 1529. Under a window on the W. a fhield
with the arms and creft of Fregonwel impaling Kel-
tvay. After paffing the court you entered the hall by
an old porch, under which was the fervants hall
and kitchen, and over them two or three fmall
apartments, all modern.
At the eaft end of the court was the old abbey
kitchen, pulled down 1737. The roof was vaulted
with done, and fupported by a maffy done pillar,
and it had two very large chimnies at each end. The
weftern Tides feem to have been the abbot’s lodgings.
The S. part at the upper end of the hall was
rebuilt 1737, by Mr. Bancks, in order to make fome
new apartments, but he lived only to finifh the
fhell, and they were compleated by lord Milton.
The N. part where was the great dining room, under
which was the old cellar, was beautified by fir
John Tregonwell ; for on the baluftrade at the top
are lions, &c. holding fnields, on which were the
arms of Tregonwell and Kelway. Near this was
an old tower, and the Star-chamber. Wed of this
feems to have been another court, but even the
ruins of the buildings are all gone. W. of the oriel,
there was an old ruinous room, all wainfcotted, called
the Bull Ream , perhaps from the evidences being
kept there. At the S. end was a door, and deps
which defeended into the cloiders, and led to a door
in the lower part of the N. ifle : this was pulled
down 1730.
Oppofite the great N. gate was a building, called
the Still Houfe : perhaps, by its being placed at a dis¬
tance from the abbey, it might be the infirmary.
On it was a W with a crofier through it, a mill on
a tun, feveral rofes, and this date 1315, i. e. 151 5.
This was pulled down 1763.
Under the garden wall, by the road that leads
from the town to the abbey, is a foot walk walled,
called Ambry Wall : perhaps it was the way to the
almonry, where the poor received their alms of the
abbey. Near this is the ancient abbey barn, which
had two porches or threfhing floors projecting be¬
yond it ; it was 16 goad, or 250 feet 8 inches long,
(each goad 15 feet 8 inches) and 32 feet broad.
It was all tiled, and much of it rebuilt 1751.
This ancient fabrick was entirely taken down ex¬
cept the hall 1771, in order to rebuild it in a very
fuperb manner.
Over the Porcii were on efcutcheons of flone,
1. The arms of Athelfian. 2. Modern England
quartering France. 3. The arms of the monaftery.
4. W. with a crofier. c,. A mill on a tun: tbefe
two laft the cognizance of abbot William Middleton.
The Hali. is a noble and magnificent old room.
The compafs roof of Irifh oak, finely wrought. It is
53 feet 6 inches long, 26 feet 6 inches broad. At
the higher end on a flone pilafter, that fupported the
roof, 1898, (1498) the date of the building or repair.

Abbot Bradley lurrendered this convent to Sir John
Tregonwel, March 1 1, 1 539, 20 H. VIII. There were
then twelve monks. In 1 553, here remained 61. ijs^d
in fees, and 17 1. 2 s. 6d. in annuities*, and thele pen-
fions, Henry Roddel Prior 13 1. 6s. 8d. John White,
8 1. Thomas Garland, Nicholas Goodfon, and John
Ap Thomas, 61. 13 s. 4 d. each. After the difiblu-
tion, thole religious who had penfions out of the ex¬
chequer retired to the univerfities, or to fuch places
in them as were nurleries for them, as in Oxford, Can¬
terbury college, Gloucefter college, Durham college,
St. Bernard’s, Sc. Mary’s, andother halls, which were
full of them, and where they continued till they were
worn out, or had gotten benefices m.
The Alms-House.
In the flreet called Newport -ftreet is an alms-houfe,
built and endowed by John Tregonwel , efq. as appears
by his will dated 1674, for fix poor people, who have
each 1 2 s. a week, and three yards of cloth for a
gown, one pair of fhoes and (lockings, and 10 s. each
on St. Thomas’s day yearly. On the death or ex-
pulfion of any, Mr. Tregonwel’s heirs, &c. were in
three months to eleft another, or, on their negledl, the
church-wardens and overfeers ; reparations, &c. to
ifiue out of the farm and manor of Bagbere.
The Free School.
Memorand. That there is a free-fehool founded
by Sir John Lodery pried, in Middleton Tregonwel;
the lands whereof are in the tenure of Robert Bejl of
Little Meyne, and are 81. per annum, which is paid
to the fchool mader, for his dipend. The lands
dand in feoffees hands, and many gentlemen of Dorfet
are infeoffed of them to the faid ufen.
18 Jac. I. a commidion of the datute of charitable
ufes was awarded out of chancery ; on which it was
found by inquifition, that the free chapel of Little
Mayne, worth twenty marks, and the farm of Little
Mayne, tool, per annum, were given 12 H. VIII.
by the late abbot of Milton, towards the maintenance
of a free grammar-fehool in Milton ; the profits of
which had been long withheld by Thomas Bed, de-
ceafed, and now by his heir, who claimed the fee
fimple by a patent of concealment, though his an-
cedor held them many years by leafe from the feof¬
fees, 22 Eliz. for 99 years. That the farm
was left for 24 1. per annum, which was paid
to Arthur Young, fchool- mader, by grant of
Sir Matthew Arundel, furviving feoffee, who
m W ood’s Fafh I. 61. n Chantry-Roll, Augmentation-
officiated by a deputy, to whom he paid 8 1. per an*
num, by which the fchool decayed, and the number
of fcholars decrealed from eighty to eight or ten. The
lord chancellor deemed the pretences of Bed and
Young defigned to defeat the charitable ufes ; after
which it was ordered, that the farm (hould not be de-
mifed for any edate in reverfion during the life of the
leffee, unlefs 50 1. be referved, and a proportionable
fine paid, to be employed in building an ffi ufe for
the fchool-mader ; and if not let till it happen to come
into poffeffion, it (hould not be demifed under 100
marks, and a fine in proportion to the value of ir.
Soon after Thomas Merry M. A. uffier of Wetlmin-
der fchool, was admitted fchool-mader, 1623, and
built the fchool- houfe, 1632 (the feite of it being
purchafed by the feoffees) at the expence of 381 1.
3s. 1 id.; lord Arundel of Wardour and Richard
Swayne counfellor at law being then feoffees. Sir
Thomas I* reke gave 40 trees. It was burnt 16^8,
and rebuilt four years after: in order to which the
farm was again leafed out; which leafe expiring about
1734, the fchool-mader now enjoys the whole pro¬
fits, near 120 1. per annum. The fchool maffer has
always been appointed by the abbots and their fuc-
ceffors, lords of the manor, to whom the whole pa-
riih belongs; and the deed of feudation, when the au¬
thor lived at Miiton-Abbas, was in the hands of Mr,
Banks.
Hamlets and Farms.
Bagbere, Hutsk,
Churchcomb, Ljscomb,
Delcomb, Luccomb.
Holworth,
Bacbere, a farm near Milton, is not mentioned
in any of the records of the abbey, or at lead by that
name, fo that it is uncertain whether it belonged to it,
tho’ it is probable it did. From 1570 to 1 610 it was
poffdTed by the Arnolds, whether in their own right,
or as leffees to the Tregonwels, does not appear; but
it belonged to them about 1647 ; whence it pafled as
Milton, as did alfo the following hamlets, &c. except
Lifcomb and Holworth.
Churchcomb, vulgo Chefcmb , a farm near Whit¬
church, part of the ancient demefnes of the abbey.
Delcomb, a large farm adjoining to Milton on
the N. W. the ancient demefnes of the abbey. Here
feems to have been a park ; fome grounds retain this
name. Here was formerly a large wood.
Holworth, Hoherdey Domefdny Book, Oleworth.
King Atheldan by his foundation charter gave fix
hides at Holeworth to the abbey of Milton. This
vill vvas held by the abbot of the king, in pure alms.
t.E. 1°. In 1291, the lands of the abbot in Hole-
worth, were rated at 10 1. 17 s. p 32 H. VIII. this manor
was granted to Sir Thomas Poynings. It pafied thence
as W. Lull worth ; but 29 Eliz. 1 0 Edward fVykemarJIo,
35 Eliz. to George and Edward Moore.

don. ifi Eliz. one third of this manor farm was
held by Elizabeth , wife of Andrew Rogers4. 38 Eliz.
it was held by ... . Regers, who had licence to alie¬
nate to .... Chaldecot. From 1674 to 1686, it be¬
longed to Mr. George Chaldecot; 1699, to George
Pile , efq. 1703, to Mrs. Catharine Pile ; 1742, to Mrs.
Leigh. Part of it lies at Ofmington.
S. Holworth, a mile Couth of the laft, lies near
the fea fide. In 1676, it belonged to Richard Scovel ;
in 1678, to James Gould , of Upway, efq. in which fa¬
mily it long continued, and now belongs to Thomas
Gould, efq. of Frotne.
E. Holworth, a farm lying almoft contiguous to
North Holworth on the Fall, belongs to the Cul-
hfords.
N. B. Thefe HoKvorths ftand in three different
tithings, all in the hundred cf VVinfrith, and all
belong to the parifh of Abbey Milton, to which
they pay to church and poor, and bury for con¬
venience at Ower Moigne.
Huish, a farm about a mile below Milton, be¬
tween that and Bagbere, is not mentioned in any
records cf the abbey, but was no doubt part of its
demefnes.
Lyscomb, Lyjfecomb , once a manor and hamlet, now
only a farm houfe, fituated in a fruitful vale, near five-
miles S. W. of Milton, and entirely detached from
it, and two from Chefilborn, which almoft furrounds
it. King Athelftan, by his foundation charter,
gave this vill to the abbey of Milton, being three
hides and an half. In the cuftomary of Milton this
manor had thirteen tenants.
37 H. VIII. this farm and capital meffuage of Lyf-
fecomb was granted for 223 1. 6 s. 6 d. and all the
flock, and Lyfhcombe-grove, 7 acres, to Robert and
John Reeves , value ill. 18 s. 4d. Before 1680, it
came to the Tregonzvels. About 175. Mr . Strachan
fold it to Michael Miller , yeoman.
The Chapel
near the farm houfe, yet entire, but long fmee
defecrated, is a fmall fabric, confiding of a chancel,
and body, divided from each other by an arch. In
the N. E. corner of the chancel is a large nich of an¬
tique work. By the inquifition 5 E. II. this chapel
was annexed to the church of Milton by the gift of
king Athelftan. It was probably ferved by a monk
from the monaftery, or fome ftipendiary pried, as no
inftitutions to it occur in the Sarum Regillers. 3 1
H. VIII. it was granted to Sir John Tregonwell.
Luccom b , or Windmill AJJoes , a farm, part of the
ancient demefnes of tile abbey, lies a hide E. of the
town. Near this is a large coppice, which feems to
have been the abbot’s park.; it contains 1600 acres.
Windmill Allies are fome trees on the top of tlie hill
N. of this farm, which are a lea mark;
The Cilu Rcrt
Hands near the S. fide of the abbey The form is that
of a Roman T, the nave or body being Wanting. It is
a large and magnificent pile of Gothic .architecture,
and Con fids of a chancel, a N. and S. ifie, a tranfept
or crofs ifle, a large fquare tower at the interfeclioh
of the body and crofs ifles, not much higher than ' the
roof, fupported by four noble arches, and contain¬
ing five large bells, and a clock. The com pais roof is
vaulted with (lone, and covered with lead. Stone
baluftrades of open quatrefbils went roUnd the top of
the ifles ; but thefe are all gone on the N. part. The
chancel and prefent body are fupported by four,
very noble arches; the pillars are large, and furrounded
with clufters of fmaller ones. There are fix windows
on each fide above the ifles, and two porches on
the W. and S. The N. and S. ifles are of equal length
with the choir and chancel.
This church was burned down 3 E. II. 1309, themofl
authentic account of which accident is given by Ni¬
cholas Trivet, fon of Sir Thomas Trivet, lord chief
jufti.ee of England, prior of a monaftery of Dominican
friars in London, where he was buried 1328. In the
year 1309, on Tuefday, the 2d of Sept, the day after
the feftival of St. Giles the abbot, a terrible ftorm of
lightning happened abouteightin the evening, and con¬
tinued all night, and was followed about midnight with'
great and frequent claps of thunder, which in many
places fcorched up the hedges and trees. At the fame
hour the church of Middleton, in the county of Dorfet,
with the bell tower and bells, the ornaments of
the church, the books and evidences of the monks,
were by that lightning, entirely burnt & destroyed,
whilft the monks were at matins. On the 4th of
September following, happened a very high wind,
which blew' down a great number of trees, and the
towers of Modeford and Gevelton'i. This church was
begun to be rebuilt foon after; for we find, that 15
E. II. a patent was granted pro conjlrublione abbatie.
Walter Archer, abbot, was founder, or receiver, c. E.
III. to build the church now Handing, a9 we learn
from the anonymous author before mentioned.
After this accident the nave feems never to have
been rebuilt : though Coker fays, the whole role fairer
than before, but that the body, or weft end, was
pulled down at the difiolution, in order to fell the
wood and Hones. There were forty-one paces from
the W. end of the church to the bars once at the W;
extremity of the church-yard, which was poffibly the
extent of it.

- '['he proportion of conventual churches, was ge¬
nerally this -, the height was equal to the breadth of
the body and fide ifles ; the fteeples and towers to the
length of the -whole fabric, or rather of the crofs ifle.
The crofs ifle fometimes extended half the length of
the fabric; as did- the nave, or weft part, viz. from
the great door at the- W. end, to the lower great pil¬
lars that fop-ported the 'fteeple. The fide ifles were
juft half -the breadth and height of the nave; fo that
both added together exactly anlwered it.
The Chancel,
anciently part of the choir, is feparated from the pre¬
lent body, by an old fereen of wood, on which is
1 H S. and a neat piece of iron work, and ornamented
by feveral feats built by Sir Jacob Bancks for the
ule of himlelf and family, to make way for which,
were removed hence eighteen old flails, which for¬
merly flood four at the lower end, and five on each
fide, &c. Over the communion table are the Creed,
the Lord’s prayer, and the ten commandments, in
gold letters on a black ground on two tables of
Norway oak. On the N. wall hangs a very ancient
model of a fpire, perhaps the ancientone of this church.
On each fide of the communion table are two doors,
within which is a narrow ipace of fix feet and an half be¬
tween the altar and- St. Mary’s chapel. The arches of
this chapel are now walled up; they were perhaps a
paffage into it, or a veflry. .
Sr. Mary’s chapel was E. of the high altar, and
feems to have been lower than the reft or the church.
It was demolifhed at the diflblution, and the arches
that led into it from the N. and S. i lies are walled up.
Chapels dedicated to the B'leUed Virgin, • aim, ft
always flood at the E. end of all cathedral and conven¬
tual churches. King E. I. gave a licence, notw-th-
ftanding the ftatute of mortmain, 'to Robert Earen-
don to give 100 s. [/ 'olidaia j] renr, ilfuing out of a
melTuage and four virgares of la-nd in U-ptfi deling,
which John Baflet held of him for his life, to the abbot
and convent here, to provide a monk as a ch .. : lain to
pray for the foul of the faid Robert, his aivceftors,
and all the faithful deceafed, every day for ever, in
the chapel of the Blelled Virgin Alary of Middelron,
as well during the life of the faid Robert, ,as after
his death.
The altar is adorned with an, ancient. qernice, carved,
gilt, and painted ; the afeent to it is by three fteps,
and underneath at the N. end, was a. Vault for
the Tregonwe! family.
Over the communion table on a cornicp of ftone is
this imperfect infeription; the reft being hid by the
altar-piece :

Thcfe paintings are very ancient, rude, and gre-
tefque, and, as wet makes no impreffion on the
paint, they Teem to be done in oil ; fo tiiufl have been
done after 1410, in which year painting in oil was
invented by John ab Eyk, commonly called John of
Bruges. If we make them more ancient, and l’uppofe
the painters of thofe ages had fome art to fix their co¬
lours,, as by fire, &c. it will be hard to account how
they efcaped when the, church was burnt, as this

to have been taken down, and afterwards replaced.

A little lower, in the N. ifle, and oppofite to the
S. porch, is a large arch walled up,- which formerly
led into another fmall chapel, whofe foundations and
remains were removed 1737.
Againft the wall of this ifle is painted a lion rear¬

two griffins rampant turning their backs to it. Be^

Below this is another arch near the crofs ifle, now
walled up. It led into the cloifters, or perhaps the
abbot’s lodgings, there being an old door oppofite to
it above the oriel, which was pulled down when the
new apartments were built.
The South-Isle.
In this ifle are eight pilafters againft the S. wall,
and feven windows. At the upper end was a chapel,
now a veftry, feparated from the reft of the ifle by a
wall, and containing a library confiding of Walton’s
Polyglott Bible, Caftell’s L. exicon, feveral of the fa¬
thers, and fome Engliih divinity and hiftory. On
the E. wall is this infcription on a marble tablet:
To the memory of John Tregonwell, late of
Milton-Abbas, in the county of Dorfer, efq.
who died June 20, 1680, and by his laft will
and teftament gave all the books within this
veftry to the ule of this parifh church for
ever. As a thankfull acknowledgment of
God’s wonderfull mercy, in his prefervation
when he fell from the top of this church, is
this monument erefled, at the proper coft and

The W ftruck through with a crofier on a tun fo
very often repeated would lead one to imagine this
ifle was built, or at lead; ornamented, by abbot Mid¬
dleton, and that the prefent church was not finifhed
till his time. On the wall under a large N. window
now flopped up was a curious painting of the re-
furreftion and afeenfion, much defaced in the civil
wars. Enough was left fome years ago to (hew the
goodnefs of the painting, but it is now white vvalhcd
over.
At the back of the gallery over the entrance into
the choir are painted on board whole length figures
of faints and apoftles, with their infignia, near four
feet high, in niches ; the names of each on a fcroll
over their heads. The painting is not ill done, and1
in tolerable prefervation.

At the S. end is another very noble window, but
now not half glazed. Under it on the wall, in two
ranges of 1 4 compartments each, is painted the hif-
tory of the feven charities, and the feven deadly fins,
with a feripture infeription to each compartment.
But the whole is very much defaced, and lcarce any
of the inferiptions legible.
In the fir ft row are the feven charities in compart¬
ments, reprefented by the feveral afts, and divided by
as many angels holding labels with thefe fentences
from the New Teftament :

7 Defaced : as are all the groupes belonging to
the five laft.
In the S. W. corner under this window is the
greateft piece of antiquity in the church. It is the
figure of a man in complete armour, crofs-legged,
and a fir i eld on his left arm, on which is an obfeure
crofs. He may have been a crufader, and buried
here before the church was burnt ; and indeed the
figure is much decayed. Statues crofs-legged were
not always of 1 mights Templars, but perfons who had
made a crufade to the Holy-Land, or vowed to do fo.
The firft crufade begun 1096, and in 1291 the fultan
of Egypt put an end to them by the conqueft of
Paleftine. Whom it reprefents is very hard to de¬
termine. We may be a little affifted in our conjec¬
ture by a MS. account of Milton-Abbas, in the Cotton
Library, Julius, F. VI. 115, in a few leaves entitled,
Collections about feveral towns in Dorfetfhire,
written by an anonymous author, 1579, who fays,
u William the Conqueror took away part of the lands
“ of the abbey, and gave them to Glaftonbury” [which
does not appear] ; “ and, by be medyation of a ba-
“ ron of great honour,: replenifhed it .again with
“ monks, thirteen to the dozen, for as they wanted
“ of their lands, even fo of .their number.” [He had
before laid that king Athelftan placed here 40.] “ The
“ name of the baron was called . and beryth
t£ Sa. a crofs humette botony flowrte O. in which
“ are 5 efcallops of the-firft ; and lyeth crofs-legged in
the S. ifle and wall r.” However the arms are thofe
of the Latimers, though the efcallops are a dilference
of a yoftnger branch. One of this family might be
a benefactor, or do fome eminent fervice to "the abbey,
and be buried here. It is obfervable that thefe very
arms are Dill in the abbey-hall.
Here are two large filvCr flaggons inferibed, “ The
( gift of Mad” Jane Tregonwell, widow, deceafed,
“ to the church of Mifton-Abbas, in Dorfett, Feb.
“ 2, 1 675.” A filver chalice, and a large filver
patten, the gift of feveral people, 1637, and 1678.
King Athelftan gave to this church feveral reliques t
a piece of our Saviour’s crofs, a great crofs of gold
and (ilver adorned with precious ftones ; the arm and
many bones of St. Sampfon, the arm of St. Branvva-
Jader, and many others, which he collefted at Pvome,
in Britany, and France, with great labour and ex¬
pence, and placed here in five gilt lhrines.
A MS. in Benet College Librarv quoted by Dr.
Hickes % adds the paftoral ftaff of St. Sampfon, and
the head of St. Branwalladore ; a bifliop of whom
nothing remains but the name, by the termination of
which it is conjectured he was a native of Wales.
His anniverfary was June 3 h -
The cloifters were on the N. fide of the church.
Marks ol them appear on the N. fide of the tranfept,
and on the N. ifle, extending to the fpot where lately
were the remains of an old chapel, perhaps the chap¬
ter houfe, near theN. door.
Church-Yard.
Near the S. E. angle, tradition fays flood the par¬
ochial church, dedicated to St. James * for which
reafon the prefent fair is faid to be kept about the
feftival of that faint. On rooting up trees and digging
graves, foundations of a building and pavement have
been found. When the church was burnt, and the
nave deftroyed (which in conventual churches was
anciently allotted to the ufe of the parifhioners, where
there was no other church, there being then no room
for them in the abbey church • . or perhaps about the
time of the burning of Sherborne church in a quar¬
rel between the monks and- townfmen, on the latter’s
claiming a right to make. ufe. of the body as a paro¬
chial church) the convent might oblige the parifhioners
to build a church for themfelves, or build it for them
at their own expence, in order to prevent the like
confequences.

The return to the commifiion 1650 was, that they
had a ftipendiary vicarage of 20 marks per annum, but
no incumbent. Mr. Holloway fupplied the cure by
order of the committee. The impropriation belonged
to John Tregonwell, efq.
The vicar took an oath to the convent, as did all
clerks whom they prefented to any of their livings,
to be faithful to them, to be content with their rights
and profits, and claim no more, and pay their yearly
penfion to the convent. r

St. Catherine’s Chapel.
On the top of the hill a little E. of the church,
was a chapel dedicated to St. Catherine, but long
fince converted into a pidgeon houie. The body and
chancel are fixty two feet long, and about twenty
broad ; on the S. and W. fides are low doors, the
arches of which are femicircular, and a fmall narrow
window, and another larger one on each fide, all femi-
circular. The chancel part has been rebuilt. On
the top at the W. end is a monk in his habit, lying
along and refting on his hands, looking down on the
town ; there were formerly fome paintings in this cha¬
pel, but they are all hid or deftroyed by making
the pidgeon holes, On the fide of the S. door was
this imperfeft infer ipti an on a brafs plate :

It Hands in a fmall intrenchment, which is much too
large for a chapel yard. The regifler of Milton tells
us that king Athelflan encamped here on his march
into the North, and received a revelation of his future
viftory. This then muflt be the occafion of thefe
'works : but as they are too fmall to contain an army,
they might have been thrown up only for the king and
his guards. The rampart, which is double on the E.
and N. is very low, except on the E. fide, and there it
is not very high, and the ditch lhallow : on the S. be¬
ing the brow of the hill, there is neither rampart nor
ditch. It is 137 paces long, and 51 broad within the
inner rampart. In memory of this revelation the chapel
feems to have been afterwards built, the contributions
to which pious purpofes were to be paid by indul¬
gences.

is a little village fituated on the N. fide of a deep
hill called Bulbarrozv, about three quarters of a
mile S. W. from Wolland. It derives its principal
name from the Saxon word Scoccey a Jioek or wood,
its additional ones from the Cdfyns or Wakes, its
ancient lords. Here feems to have been formerly a
park ; fora court roll,. 13 H. VIL mentions grounds
called Stoke Park. ...
King Edmund, A. D. 941, gave to Edric his
vaflhl two manfes at Stoke, to him and his heirs,
for ever, Who probably gave it to the abbey of
Shafton K In Domefday Book k, the church of St.
Mary of Sceptejberie held Stoche : the land confided
of four carucates, worth 4 1. King John, a. r. 7,
1206, in a charter reciting and confilmifig the dona¬
tions to that monaftery, mentions five hides in Stoka,
which were of the demefnes of the church of St!
Edward, afid which Emma the abbefs juftified to be
her right in the prefence of king Henry I. and his
barons at EalingS-,- againfl Hardwin the fon of Elnoth ;
•aftd another hide of the demefnes there againft
Thomas, the kinfmdit of Eularia the abbefs, to whom
fhe had probably leafed or alienated it. But foon
after this it feefris irt great meafure to have been
•alienated from that hdnfe, and the abbefs to have
been little more than lady paramount.
•f The • firft mefim lords of this manor that we meet
with in records -are the Cufins or Cofyns ; but their
frames only are .'mentioned, as giving an additional
•denomination tdthis viil.
They were ftfcCeeded by the Wakes, of which
•family 1 ArJteiv was at his death tenant to Lau-
rentia abbefs of Shafton. 13E.I. in the 6th year
of her prombtibh, he ’ held of her and the con¬
vent rfr Chief Stufeeaftover, Stureweftover, Stoke in
Blakemore, and Stoke and Heringeniffe, which after
his dealt h came fer Rahfh his fon and heir, who did
fervice and homage to the abbefs, and anfwered

1297, was a law fuit between Mabel Gifiord, abbefs,
and Ralph Wake, concerning the manors of Stoure-
Cufin, Eaflover and Weflover, belonging to the
manor of Stoke Cufin in Blakemore : which being ended,
Pi. Wake quits claim to the abbefs of the three for¬
mer, and the abbefs quits claim to him of the manor
of Stoke Cufin, except the advowfon, and gives him
1 00 s. rent for term of life, out of the manor of
Hinton [St. Mary] °.
From the Wakes and their heirs, it paffed to the
Keynes. 6 H. IV. Richard Michel, one of the coulins
and heirs of John Wake, km. releafes to John Keynes
all his right in the manors of Stoke-Wake and
Caundel-Wake, and in all lands, 8tc. called Hull,
which were formerly the laid John Wake’s p. In the

fort, fon and heir apparent of Edward Keines, fern
of the fame, &c. fold the premifes for 16S0I. to
John Seymer and William Pitt , efq. of St. Stephen’s
Weftminfter and their heirs. 17 Jac. I. they were
feifed of this manor, value 40 marks yearly, and of
the advowfon, clear yearly value 5 s. both held of the
king : alfo Old-Barns, and lands in Stoke in rever-
fion on the death of John, brother of fir R. Seymer
and Joan his wife, then in the tenure of John.
21 Jac. I. William Pitt, knt. releafes all his interefl
in the faid manor and premifes to fir R. Seymer,
to whofe defeendant Henry Seymer, efq. they now
belong.
By the inquifitions of the Wakes and Keyne’s,
22 and 34 E. III. 20 E. IV. and 37 Eliz. they are
faid to have held this manor of the abbefs and con¬
vent, by fervice of being fcnefchallus intrinfecus of
that houfe, ad arraiandum do muni, on the day of in-
bailment of every abbefs.
Here was a family named More , who feem to have
been lefiees of fome farm in this parilli under the
Keynes, &c. 31 H. VIII. Richard More of Stoke-
wake, by will proved 1542, left his farm here to
John his fecond fonq.
South of this place on the point of Bullbarrow,
an high hill that overlooks great part of the vale
of Blackmore, and affords a very extenfive profpeft,
is a fmall ancient circular fortification , which, by
many Roman coins turned up by the plough in the
arable fields near it, feems to be Roman : it Rands
part in this parifh, and part in the hamlet of Andy
in Hilton, and has two ramparts and ditches. There
are two entrances on the W. and E. the latter is the
principal one, where two or three ramparts lap over
one another.
The Church
is a fmall ancient fabrick, dedicated to All Saints ,
and contains nothing remarkable; 1 542, Richard
More by his will ordered his body to be buried in
the new ifle here.
The Rectory.
Ulfricus prejliter has the church and one virgate
adjacent to it, and the tithe of all things of 'the
demefne [dominico] and crijfet, [i. e. church-feotj of
the villains, and df every hide 6 d. de dccima , and
in Auguft one acre of corn for oyl, and hath twenty
hogs unmolefled [ quietos ] in the wood, for pannage'.
In 12 91, the church of Stoke Cofyn is entered with
a non excedit in the Tower copy of the valor, and
omitted in the Bodleian copy. The ancient patron
was the abbefs and convent of Shaflon. 42 Eliz. the
advowfon was granted to Henry Sterr of Bradford,
and Thomas Freke of Shroton. 7 Jac. I. Sterr quits
his claim to Freke. 12 Jac. I. Sir Thomas Freke
grants it to Robert Seymer and his heirs, whofe
defeendant Henry Seymer, efq. is the prefent patron.
It is in Whitchurch deanry.

This little parifh lies fcarce a mile S. W. from
Ibberton. King Athelftan gave it to the abbey of
Milton. In Domefday Book d, Wonlande tvas held
by the church of Middeltune : the land was four
carucates, worth 60 s. In 1293, the lands in Won¬
londe, Cnole, Bardolvefton, and Lifcomb, belonging
to the abbot of Milton, were valued at 12 le. Soon
after, 5 E. II. the abbey held here five hides, the gift
of king Athelftan, with the reftory and chapel an¬
nexed and appropriated to that abbey. In the cufto-
mary of Milton, this manor contained fix virgatarii,
and twenty dimidii virgatarii ; a place is mentioned
called Overlond, and two tenants are called de
Chudecomb, who probably dwelt in that part of the
parifh.
While it remained in this monaftery it w’as
managed by a preepofitus and a bayliff : Robert Atte-
mill prrepojitus in an old computus thus accounts for
the profits of it, 6 R. II.

The principal and ancient refidence of this family
was at Thornhull; in modern times, at Wolland.
Their place of fepulture formerly in the fouth ide in
the church of Stalbridge, belonging to them ; and
fince Thornhull was alienated, at Wolland. There
were feveral branches of this family. Robert, third
fon of Thomas Thornhull, and Joan Hufley, is ftiled
of Charleton, c. Wilts, in the Vifitation Book of that
county, i 565. He is faid to have married, firft, Joan,
daughter of William Frew, of Reading, c. Berks,
by whom he had John. 2dly, Chriftian, daughter of
Edward Twinyho, of Shipton Solers, c. Gloucefter,
by whom he had Ambrofe, William, Thomas, Richard,
Edward, Edmund, Henry, Milicent, Mary, and Brid¬
get ; but no farther defcent is given.
The feat of the Thornhulls is a large, old, ir¬
regular building, fituate near the W. end of the pa-
rifh, and feems to have been built in the reign of queen
Elizabeth, or king James I.
In the S. window of the great parlour are thefe
arms :
1. Trcgonvoel.
2. Quarterly 1 and 4 Thornhull, 2 and 3 A. a chev¬
ron between 3 efcallops Sa*
3. The king’s arms encircled with the garter.
4. Thornhull impaling Williams of Herringfton.
5. Thornhull imp. Tregonivel.
On an atchievement over the chimney in the hall;
are thefe arms : A. a chevron G. between three black¬
birds proper, legged and beaked O. Thornhull. impal¬
ing A. a crofs bow bent in pale, between four moor¬
cocks Sa. Highmore ; creft a thornbufh O. in it a black¬
bird proper. 1676.
In this parifh on an high hill a little E. of the for¬
tification at Bullbarrow is a barrow, where was for¬
merly a beacon, at which, 1625, the hundreds of
Redlane, Brownlhull, Sturminfter-Newton, and Buck-
land, were obliged to find watchmen.
Chitcomb, Chide omb) olim Chudecomb ,
a fmali hamlet, lying about half a mile from Wol¬
land, near Ibberton, and is a member of the manor of
Wolland. An Anabaptift meeting-houfe was built
here about 1723.
The Church
is a fmali fabric, adjoining on the E. to the feat of
the Thornhulls. Being ancient and ruinous, it was
almoft wholly rebuilt 1743, and removed a little far¬
ther W. than where it before flood. It confifts of a
chancel and body. In a wooden turret were two bells-,
of which one was fold on rebuilding the church; the
other remains in a (tone arch at the Weft end.

There were feveral inferiptions on grave flones in
the chancel, but only for fome children of the Thorn¬
hulls, the principal of that family being alw.iys bu¬
ried in an ifle in Stalbridge church belonging to
Thornhull, while they were pofieft of that eftare. Buc
by the removal of the church, thefe flones now lye in
the church-yard, fcarce legible.
The Register begins 1 547. Moft of the ccnfider-
able dates fince the commencement of the regifter
are inferted in the pedigree of Thornhull: the mar¬
riages, baptifms, and burials, are very numerous, but
moft of them relate to the younger and obfcure
branches, and many of them are fuppofed to have
been the natural ififue of that family.

The Rectory.
The chapel and redtory were very anciently an¬
nexed to the abbey of Milton, as appears by an in-
quifition of that houfe 5 E. II. 1310, and were ap¬
propriated to it perhaps from the very foundation.
It is mentioned in no valor: no redtor or vicar occurs
in the Sarum regifters of inftitution ; fo that before
the Reformation it wasferved by a ftipendiary prieft,
or a monk of that monaftery. 24 H. VII. John Brad¬
ley by divine permiflion abbot of the monaftery of
Sr. Mary and St. Sampfon of Milton, Sec. leafed to
John Jogans, and Matilda his wife, all the tithes,
oblations, and obventions in the manor of Wolland,
except the tithes cf wool, lamb, corn and hay on the
dtmefne lands. See. for their lives, for the fum of 7 1.

defcended to his fucceffors. John Strachan , efq. con¬
veyed it to ... . Gordon, of London, gent. Thus it
became a lay fee, and has always been leafed out by
the lord of the manor of Milton. Its yearly value is
35 1. but the leffee pays 1 3 1. per annum to fome
neighbouring minifter, to fuppJy the chapel once
every Sunday.
The return to the commiftion 11650, was, that the
parfonage was worth 30 1. per annum •, the land of J.
Tregonwel, efq. Robert Hayfom, leffee. John An-
tram, a preaching minfter, fupplied the cure, with a
falary of 24 1. per annum. They had no <debe nor
chapel.
It is in Whitchurch deanry.

bifhop Capon to Edward duke of Somerfet. 4 E. VI.
the king demifed it to Sir John Paulet for 99 years. 4
Eliz. bifhop Cotton demifed it to Sir Walter Raw-

BATCOMB, Badecomb ,
* _ f * ' — > v*
a little parifh iituate about a mile S. E. from Mel¬
bury-Bubb. It is not mentioned in Domefday Book,
and mufl therefore have been furveyed by fome an¬
cient name now loft, or included in fome neighbour¬
ing place, to which in former times it belonged,
though in later ages it became a diftinft parifh.
The moft ancient lords that-we find of this manor,
were the Qantilupes 1 : 1 E. I. G?<?^Cantiiupe at his
death held the hamlet of Batcomb, as it is ftyled, of the
heir of Nicholas Poyntz, in chief, as a member of his
manor of Sutton. Milicent de Montealto, late wife
of John de Montealto, and then of Eudo, or J.vo de
Zouch, his lifter and coheir, on the partition of his
lands had for her purpaity the manor of Stoke
St. Ed wpld, of which this place was a member.
Hence it came In frank marriage to Nicholas Pcyntz,
by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Milicent de,Mon-
eealto by Euclo.de .Zouch, and is then ftiled a manor-,
be died feifed-of.it, 5 E. II. 11 E. III. Hugh Pqyntz
* See Stokewood. k Efc.
Yet we find that 18 E. I. Alan de Plugenet, lord of
Kilpeck, c. Hereford, and of Great-Kington, &c. in
this county, nephew and heir of Robert Walrond, had
a charter of free warren in his demefne lands in the
lordffiip of Batcumb : and this family prefented to
this retftory 1309, 1317. And 20 E. I. John Wake
and William Marleburgh held lands here, formerly
held by John Plukenet. So that thefe laft: records
cannot relate to a parifh of the fame name c. Somerfet.
But there ftill fubfifts a difficulty how the Poyntzes
had any concern here. It is very certain that they
had, and likewife,that this manor did not pafs by their
heirefs to the Newburghs of Lullworth. No records
have occurred to me to reconcile this. However, t.
E. III. it is evident from the record before cited, that
it came to the Wakes and Marleburghs the latter
of whom feem to have been then lords paramount ;
but whether by gift of the crown upon fome forfei¬
ture, or by ,what other means, is unknown. 22
E. III. John Wake at his death held two parts of this
manor, and the advo.wfon qf ‘William de Marleberg,
as of his manor of Melbury-Bubb lc. From the Wakes
it pafied to their co-heirs, the Tyrels and Michels. 6
R. II. Elizabeth Michel releafes to Alexander fluff ton.
all her claim to this manor h Hence it came, pro¬
bably by purchafe, to the Matravers of Hook. 9
R. II. John Matravers of Elook died feifed of it ;
whofe heirefs perhaps brought it to the Staffords of
that place ; one of- whofe co-heirqfTes brought it to Sir
John Willoughby , anceftor of Lrd Willoughby of
Broke. 1 5 IT. VIII. R. lord Broke held it of the abbot
,of Miltqq. T.he co- hei redes of that family brought
it to William Paulet earl of Wilt (loir e, and William lord
Montjoy , [the laft; of whom, 36 Eliz. held a moiety
of the queen, as of her manor -of •Milton] between
whom this and .other, eftates of that family were di¬
vided : but on the failure of ifilie, or by virtue of
fome fettlement, ic came entirely to the Paulet s , whole
defcendant, Henry duke of Bolton, now pofc'-fles ir.
•In 1645, £he Piaccjuis of VvTnton’s old rents of this
manor, value 1 8 1. were fequeftered.
In a ground called the pir^, ,are farpe remains of
an houfe, and a moat round it, which, tradition
fays, was the feat of the StaiTbryjs, or iome mqrc an¬
cient lords, who refided there, and, that out of as ruins
the-prefent church was built.

Thoroton explains Clifton in Nottinghamfhire
by Bank-Town. Dugdale derives a place of the fame
name in Warwickfhire from its fituation Clijfe or
Clive , which in Saxon fignifies not only a rocky
place, but any fhelving ground. In Domefday Book
our Clifton is called Clijlone. The Saxon annals, A.D.
1001, call it Clijiune\ which bifhop Gibion in his ex¬

rials, imputes to the error of the tranfcriber in notdif-
tinguiffiing the two Saxon letters p and j", which
nearly reiemble each other; and he confirms the
former etymology by explaining Cliftune, villa ad
clivum fita.
Thele annals inform us, that A. D. 100 r,
the Danes invaded England, and having ravaged
part of Devon, marched from Exmouth to Peonho in
Someriet [near Gillingham], where happened an adtion
between them and the Englifh, to the difadvantage of
the latter ; and next day they burnt Penn, and Cliftune,
and many other villages. Bilhop Gibfon in his names
of place's fays that Penn was diftant from Clifton
about four miles,' which is a miftake, it being near
twenty. This looks as if there was a place of the
fame name near Pen, but we do not find it in any of
the maps.
54 H. VIII. a market and fair were granted here d.
Leland gives us the following account of this place
and its lords : a Sir John Horfey, of Dorfetfhire, hath
“ almofte as much lande by thenheritance of his mother
“ as he hath by his father. — The houfe that his fa-
“ ther lay at, as in his own inheritance, is caullid
“ Clifton, and is in Dorfetlhire, two miles from Shir-
“ burne. Syr John Horfey’s mother was doughter and
“ heire to one Turgefe, whofe maner place, and landes
“ lay at \Meltombe\ betwixt Milton and Ceren, alias
4‘ Certielee.
“ Thens [from Bradford] to Clifton, Mr. Horfeys
“ maner place, fcant a mile. Bradford bridge, of two
“ arches, a litle above the towne. Clifton ftandithe
“ on the ryght rype of Ivel, in the paroche of Yate-
<c minfter, where be three prebends longinge to Sa-
“ lisbury. This lordefhipe longyd to the Mawbanks,
“ whos heires generall were maried onto EJorfey, and
<c Ware, and they partyd the lands. Ormond, earl of
u Wiltfhire, about kynge Edwarde the 4 tyme inva-
“ did Clifton, and pofTeffyd it by violence, withe a
“ pretency’d ty tie, and began a greate foundation
“ there, for liable, and howfys of office, and enten-
“ dyd tO haue buyldyd a caftle there ; but ffiortly
** after Clifton was reftoryd to Horfey. The auncient
“ name, and manor place of the Horefeys, was at
“ the ende of the greate hy lie that goithe from Glaf-
“ fenbyry, almofte to Bridgewater. It it is about a
“ myle from Bridgewatr, and Sir John Horfey pof-
“ feffithe yet the land. The Broke of Sherburne and
tc Myllebroke water metirhe together a qwartr of a
“ myle, or more, bynethe Clifton. From Clifton
“ unto Ivelle, a myle or more k”
In Domefday Book g, Clijlone was held by William,
earl of Plugh [de Abrincis, earl of ChefterJ ; the land
confifted of four carucates, worth 6 s. To this manor
adjoined two carucates in Treble, worth 3I.
In times not very remote from this period, the
Rcmeftys were lords paramount here, who feem to
have been feated in Hampffiire. Of this family
Walter de Rumefia occurs in the great roll, Wilts, 20
H. III. m. 1. h 5 H. IV. Walter Romefey, cheva¬
lier, held at his death two knights fees in Clifton
and S. Perot, with Alice his wife, which John Mau-
bank held of him, as of his manor of Roekburn :
10 marks rent ififuing out of the manor of Blanford-
Bryan, which was lately Hugh Mohaufe’s : two mef*

rent, with the other lands, the laid Walter and
Alice his wife held for the term of their lives of
William Filiol, by fervice of one rofe per annum ; the
reverfion after their deaths to the heirs of the Paid
William for ever. He held alfo, as of the dower of
the faid Alice, ex dotations of Ralph Attehide, for¬
merly her husband, a third part of the manor of Al¬
dington, and nineteen meffuages, and fifty-eight acres
of land in Knyttefon, Herfton, Newton, Swanwich

to William Bonvile and his heirs for ever : alfo two
knights fees in E. Creumere and Cadecote, the
manor of Ocle, a third part of the manor of Mode-

Thomas, fon of the faid Walter, his next heir, set.
13 k This "Walter was, by one of the co-heireftes of
John de. Byfet, baron of Comb-Byfer, c. Wilts,
t. H. III. poftefied’of a third part of that barony, viz.
the manor of Rokeburn, the manor of Comb, one
third of lands in "Wychemaubank, one third part of
a rent of 50s. in Ireland, and one third part of the
manor of Kidderminfter, See in Madox k. a large ac¬

heirefles of Byfet, and other particulars relating to
William Romefey, who paid his relief, 7 1. 8s. 2d.
17 R. II. in which record there is nothing relative to
this county.
6 H. IV. Alice, who was wife of Walter Romefey,
chevalier, held at her death, jointly feoffed with her
hulband, the manor of Ocle, and one third of the
manor of Modeford, and other lands, c. Somerfet ;
Thomas, fon of Thomas, fon of Alice, her next heir,
ffit. 15 k Thomas Romefey died 8 H. V. pofteffed of

8 H. VI. Walter, fon of Walter Romefey, efq. at his
death held one fee in Clifton belonging to the manor
of Rokeburn, the manor of Ocle, and that of Orchard-
leigh, c. Somerfet : Joan, wife of Thomas Paine,
his kinfwoman ar.d heir, ret. 17k After which we
find no more account of this family nor its heirs.
The moft ancient mefne lords of this place that we
find, were the Maubanks, or Malbanks, who, Leland
fays1, were feodaries of Black more, and dwelled
here : and Coker adds m that they were a family of
great note, and had their habitation here. 17 E. II.
John Byfet paid iool. for the cuftody of Clifton and
S. Perot, once Philip Maubank’s; and for the mari-
tage of his fon, by reafon of the minority of Philip,
fon of William, fon of Philip Maubank n. 17 E. II.
Philip de Maubank held at his death the manors of
Clifton and Peret, of the heir of John Bifet, a mi¬
nor in the king’s cuftody ; Philip fon of William
Maubank, eldeft fon of the faid Philip, his heir, set.
1 ok Philip Maubank, who married Joan, daughter
and heir of Roger Folville, of Clonne, knt. occurs
7 R. II. It feems by tbefe records that Clifton was
part of the barony of Byfet, and held by the Byfets
as lords paramount before the Romefeys. But
there is no mention of this in the record before re¬
ferred to.

[C] 1 H. VI. John Horfcy, chev. held at his death the manor and advowfon of Clifton, of the bifhop of Sarum : alfo the manor of
Horley, which were to remain after his death to Joan, who was wife of William Hurley, yet furviving, now wife of John Trerhake
for term of her life. He alfo held lands in Chilton, called 1’egenes ; Henry his fon and heir, art. 24 [ ij. This John feems to be the fill! of
the family that was poflefl'ed of Clifton : perhaps the male heirs of Malbank were not extinct till his time, when in right of Ins mother
he poflefled it.
26 H. VI. William Ilorfey, erq. held at his death the manors of Clifton-Maubank and S. Peret, of Joan daughter and heir of Thomas
de Romefey, as of her manor of Rokeburn, by knights fervice: alfo the manors of Ocle and Binghams- Worth; a third part of the manor
of Modford-Terry ; two parts of the moiety of the manor of Wynfred, alias Winfrod, and many other lands, c. Someriet: Thomas, his

half the manor of Clifton-Makerel, and the advowfon and lands there, and in Pegenes : Thomas his brother and heir, ret. 40 [ tj. This
Henry', 33 H. VI. granted the manor of Clifton-Malbank and the advowfon of the church, or free chapel, to John Ormond, Humphrey
Stafford, &e. [2] This record accounts for the earl of Wiltfhire’s entering upon this effate by a pretended title, t. H. IV. as mentioned by
Leland ; but it was recovered by the Horfeys.
[E] He held the premiles by the fame tenure at his death, 8 E. IV. John, his fon and heir, a?t. 6 [1].
[F] He made a great addition to the eftates of the Horfeys, Maubanks, and Turges, by the purehafe of many abbey lands,
viz. 38 H. VIII. the fcite of the abbey and church of Sherborn, and lands there; the manors of Bradford and Wyke; Trill in Clifton,
and the grange of Creech in Purbeck; and 35 H. VIII. the manors and advowfons of Thornford and Nether-Compton, the farm of
Srawel in Nether-Compton, and the manors and farms of Pinford and Primefley, in Sherbotn, for 1451 1. 2 s. 9 d. To him the priory
ofLonglete, Wilts, feems to have been granted, 31 H. VIII. which he fold to fir John Thynne, who built Longleat houfe [3]. He held
at his death, 1 E. VI. the manors of Clifton, Melcomb, and Wyke; the manor and retlory of Bradford; the fcite of the abbey and
demefnes of Sherborn; Trill, in Clifton; Eft-Mill, and 40 acres of land in Bradford, and 16 more there belonging to Cannincnon
priory; the manors of Thornford, Nether-Compton, Weftieafe, laud in Thornford, the capital meffuage of Starve!, and the manor of
Primelley ; John his fon and heir [1]. In the regifter of Pool occurs this entry, which feems to relate to this perfon, “ John, fon of Sir
John Horley, married to Edith, late wife of John Stocker, merchant of Pool, by priviledge given by the king, fupreme head of the
church, 1539 Dec. 14.” But no notice is taken of this marriage in the pedigree.
[G] He held at his death, 7 Eliz. the manor and advowfon of Clifton, held of the bifhop of Sarum, 4340 acres of land there and in
Melcomb- Horley ; the manors of Melcomb-Horfey, Bradford, Nether-Compton, Prymefley, Pyntord, and Thornford, and i3,jco

Wryke and Bradford: the rectory of Bradford, and the advowfon of the vicarage: the manor of Armswell : the manor and advowfon of
S. Peret : the manors of Cary, Fitz-Payne, and Horfey : John his fon and heir, 18 years old, married 20 Odd. lull, to Grace, daughter of

without illue at Melcomb, 7 Sept, that year, feifed of the lands before mentioned (as did his lady, 1 Sept. 32 Eliz.) leaving for heirs
Mary wife of Richard Arnold, gent, one of his fillers, and Sir Reginald, fon of Sir William Mohun, knt. and Elizabeth his wife, his
other filler, but gave his eflate to Ralph Horfey, efq. his kinfman, and was buried at Sherborn, as were his father and grandfather betoro
him. See their monuments defcribed before, p. 380. <.
[I] According to Sir Henry Chauncy [7] he married Helen, fecond filler of Thomas Docwra of Offley, and was IherifF of Hert-
fordlhire, 22 Eliz.
[K] Gecrge Horfey, of Diggefwell, c. Hertford, had that manor, and Lockley’s manor in Welwin in that county, by marriage with
Mary, daughter and coheir of Thomas Perient, or Periam, of Diggefwel, t. H. VIII. and was fheriff of Hertford and Efiex.° The
Horfeys had a tree and competent eflate at Digfwell, where they lived long in good elleem [8], 14 Eliz. George fold Dfe-
gefwell to Sir George Perient, a branch of the fame family. He had feveral brothers, viz. 1. Sir Edward, 2. J offer, who marned°a
daughter ot Sir John St. Leger; 3. ‘Thomas-, 4. Francis ; 3. John ; 6. William-, 7 . Chrjinpher ; of whom no marriage or defcent is
given [9]. Sir Edward was a gentleman of confiderable note was knighted at Wellminfler 1577; captain of the Ille of Wight,
J 5 7 3 — 1377. and ambaflador to John of Auflria, 1577. 20 Eliz. he had a grant of the manor of Cranborn -prior, and fosne other fmall
parcels ot land in this county.
[L] He fucceeded to the bulk of the great eflate of Sir John Horfey, the lalt of that branch, who fettled it on him, on account of his
name and relation. His father advifed him, if he fhould have occafion to fell any lands, not to part with his Her tfordfhire inheri¬
tance, which had continued fo long in the family; but the young gentleman, ill advifed, fold his pofterity [8], This feems to imply that
he alienated or incumbered part of this effate, which came to him from Sir John Horfey, and laid the foundation of his fon’s misfortunes.
[M] He was knighted at Whitehall, 10 Feb. 1681, and entirely alienated this noble effate, or gave the finilhing ftrokc to it. From
feme of his letters in 1637 to Sir George Moreton, &c. it appears, that the manors of Horfey and Pegges were under-fold to Sir J.
Stawel. His wife’s jointure was then fold, and Sir George Moreton abfconded into Wales on account of his engagements for him. By
other Utters dated 1638, it appears, that he was confined in New'gate; Sir George Moreton ffill abfconded ; his wife was lick in London •
that he wanted bread, liberty, and neceffaries ; had not 6 d. left, nor knew where to get a crown : that for two days he had not a farthing
;o buy bread for his fervants, and lived only on water and oatmeal, and three-pennyworth of fprats. In 1639, he was living at John
Freke's, elq, his brother-in-law, at Shroton; but, as tradition fays, was outlawed, for a debt of 10 L and died in the county tmol.
What became ot his children is not certainly known ; his eldeft l’on poflefl’ed feme fmall fragment of the vaft effate of the family at
Thornford, fcarce beyond the memory of man. "John, his third fon, was killed at the liege of Sherborn caffle, in the fervice of the
parliament.
V* This family made a very confiderable figure in this county, of which they were often fee riffs and reprefentatives in parliament. Their
teftdence was here, and fometimes at Wyke, in the parifh of Sherborn, and at Melcomb-Horfey. Their place of fepulture was in the
church of Sherborn, and afterwards at Melcomb-Horfey.
tit In the Vifitation Book for Wilts, 1363, there is a pedigree of fix defcents, of a branch of this family; hut it does not in¬
form us how they were connected with the Clifton line, whole arms and creil they bore. William, the firlt of this line, had a Ion named
Thomas, who is ftyled of Bridport ; whofe fon John is ffyled of Martin, c. Wilts ; whofe firit lady was Ifabel, daughter of Thomas
Huffey of Shapwick, elq. Their fon William had a fon named Bartholomew, of Tarent-Gur.vile, who had a fon named Thomas.

The Church
is a little ancient fabric, and in 1291 is flyled a chapel.
In dean Chandler’s Regifler it is faid to be a chapel
dependant on the church of Yateminfler, and not
dedicated, but had three altars, in honour of All
Saints, St. Mary, and St. Nicholas.
The Rectory

How long it continued in this family, or their de¬
fendants, does not appear; but t. E. III. it came to
the Marleberges ’ and Wakes , the former of whom feem
to have been lords paramount. 2 E. III. the king
granted licence to ‘Thomas de Merleberghe to give
f inds in Buckland St. Mary and Ilebruer c. Somer¬
set, to maintain two chaplains to celebrate in the
church pf All Saints in Ilebruer for his- foul, See.
when it appeared there remained to him belides this
donation the manors of Melbury-Bubb and Ilebruer5.
20 E. III. John do- Wake and William de Marleburgh
held half a fee here and in Batecombe, formerly held
by Johanna Plucknet. 23, 32, 34 E. III. it belonged
to the Makes of Candel-Wake. 29 E. III. John , Ion
of William Marleborough, held here 9 mefiuages,
146 acres of land, and 10 s. 6 d. rent of the king in
chiefs 33 E. III. this manor, late belonging to
William de Merlebergh a baftard, was granted to
Edward Arundel “. After this we find nothing more
of the Marleberghs and Wakes.
6 R. II. Roger Folvil of Clonne c. Derby, and Eli¬
zabeth his wife, held at their death the manors of
Melbury Bubb and Oi'mond, and 1 mefluage and
1 carucate of land in Yateminfter; 1 melfuage,
1 carucate, and 25 acres of pafture in Bere-Hacket

After a long interval it came to the family of the

Warre, who had licence to alienate it to . Foye,
.value 5 1. In a Subfidy Roll 1661, John Foy, efq.
occurs here, and John Hardy of Wolcomb, gent.
John Foy, efq. the lafi: of this family dying unmarried
about 1735, left it to his kinfman John, fecond fon

A pond here belonging to Mr. Payne, the reftor, in
Augufl: 1759 feemed covered over with a thick oily
fublfance, of a fcarlet colour, and dyed red anv thinw
that was rubbed with it. The rednels began to appear
two hours after fun-rifing, and gradually increaled
till it became fcarlet, and continued fo five orTi.-t
hours, and then decreafed till it became a fine green,
which alfo gave a red tinclure. Thus it appeared for
five weeks before Auguil 20. The water beneath
was always in a great fermentation, and had been ob-
ferved to rife higher than ever known. About 12
yards from it is a clear fpring, which continually runs
into it. The foil is a yellow gravel and clay. It had
the fame appearance in fpring 1761. The water kept
in a bottle was clear, but had a lediment at bottom.
It would colour linen red, not to be got out at the
firft wafliing. This was owing to an earth of
the fame colour between the fpring and the pond,
which tinged the latter. The green colour was per¬
haps owing to fome infers, though none could be
dilcovered by the microfcope.
Wolcomb -M a t ?, a v e r s, Wellcomhy
a tything, manor, and hamlet, fituated one mile N.
from Melbury-Bubb. Dugdale and Thoroton derive
Wellcomb from a fpring rifing in a vale. It is called
MJellacome in Domelday Book ; but as there are two
parcels of land furveyed under that name, this place
cannot be diftinguilhed from Wolcomb-Bingham.
The moft ancient lords of this vill that occur
were th e Matravers of Lichet, from whom it received
its additional name. 20 E. III. John Matravers held
here a knight’s fee, formerly held by J. Matravers.
Hence it defeended to the Fitz- Alans, earls of Arun¬
del. Henry the laft of that family feems to have
alienated it, as he did all his pofleffions in this
county about .3 Eliz. Not long after it catfie to
the Hardys of this place.

MELBURY-OSMUND.
T. Eliz. or Jac. I. the Vifitatidn Book 1625, gives
two defcents of the Elringtons of Wolcomb-Matra-
vers, who feein to have been only leffees or refiant^
here.
Here was formerly a Chapel of eafe to the mother
church of Melbury-Bubb, now demolifhed. The
return to the commiflion 1650, was, that there was
one parfonage belonging to the tithing of Melbury-
Bub and Wolcomb, Mr. John Hardy patron. It
was worth 80 1. per annum, the glebe worth 40 1.
and the tithe 40 1. viz. the tithe of Melbury-Bubb
1 3 1. 6 s. 8d. and that of Wolcomb 17 1. 13 s. 4d.
It is fupplied by John Forward a preaching minifter.
That only the church at Melbury is ferved, though
three parts in four of the congregation live at Wol¬
comb, a mile diftant, and the glebe and mod part of
the tithes lie there. That the chapel at Wolcomb
was not fit to be united to the church, but to be
taken from it, and made a parilh church.
The Church,
dedicated as Etfton to St. Mary , is a fmall fabric* and
contains nothing remarkable.
The Rectory
was rated 1291, with a portion confolidated: The
patronage was always veiled in the lord of Wolcomb-
Matravers. Stafford and Poynings mentioned in the
Sarum regillers, feem to have been only leffees or
ufurpers. As Melbury-Bub was the principal manor,
it cannot be accounted for how the parfonage came
to be detached from it. The commiflion 1650 re-
prefents Wolcomb as a much larger vill than Mel¬
bury-Bubb, and that the glebe and greatell part of
the tithes lay there, which perhaps gave it the pre¬
ference. It is in Shafton deanry.

1 3 7 3, 47 E. III. Alan Cheney grants a moiety of this
manor and advowfon to Roger Foliot and Elizabeth
his wife, their heirs and affigns, during the life of the
faid Alan. Afterwards it came to the Folvils, and
6 R. II. this manor and that of Melbury-Bubb was
held by Roger Folvil de Elmer at his death ; Joan
his daughter and heir1. The whole of this manor, as
Dr. Guidot informs us, came at laft in 1412 to the
Brownings, as may be feen in Melbury-Sampford, in
which family it continued till it came to the Strange¬
ways, who feem to have purchafed the reverfion : for
14 H. VIII. 1523, fir William Filiol, & c. confirm to
Henry Trenchard and Ann his wife, late wife of fir
William Browning, and to the longed: liver of them,
this manor, and after their deceafe to Giles, fon and
heir of Henry Strangeways : and 35 Eliz. the manor
and advowfon was held by John Strangeways, efq. of
the queen, as of her manor of Wigmore, value 1 6 1.
In this family it continued till their extin&ion, and
now belongs to the right hon. the earl of Ilchejler.
There is fome real'on to imagine that here was
another manor, or a moiety of a manor ; for 2 H. VII.
fuch a moiety, value 8 marks, was held by Thomas
Arundel, who had forfeited it on his attainder, 2 R. III.
14 Eliz. a moiety of this manor and advowfon, late
belonging to Roger St our ton efq. and Charles lord
Stourton, was granted to John Marjhe, efq. and Francis
Grcenbam, gent, held of the manor of E. Greenwich.
29 Eliz. lands here late lord Stourton’s attainted were
granted inter alia to Theophilus Adams, &c. and their
heirs. 34 Eliz. this manor held as before was granted
inter alia to William Tipper and Robert Daw.
N. B. This manor is never mentioned in the inquifi-
tions of the Stourton family, who were probably
leffees under the Arundels, who feem afterward to
have recovered it. For 1645 the old rents of this
manor belonging to lord Arundel of Wardour, value
1 9 1. 2I. 1 os. were lequeftered. After this time it
feems to have been conveyed to the Strangeways. By
the grants and tenure t. Elizabeth it is highly pro¬
bable that it was church land, which is confirmed by
Dugdale, who fays, that at Meljberia in Dorfet, the
abby of Lewes, c. Suflex, [a houfe of the Cluniac
order] had an hide and half of land, which Girard
fon of Baldwyn gave themk.
Church-Lands. 32 Eliz. 12 s. rent here belonging
to the priory of Lewes was granted to William Tipper.

STOKEWOOD,
Stokei Stoke-St. Edwold.
As this little parilh is a member of the liberty of
Sutton-Poyntz, but included within the bounds of
the hundred of Yateminfter, I fliall, upon account of
its vicinity to Yateminfter, from which it is diftant
about three miles to the S. E. treat of it in this place.
It was part of the ancient parifh of Sherborn or Yate-
minfter, but is now and has long been a diftinft and
independent parifh. It takes the name of Stokewood
from its woody fituation, and that of Stoke St. Ed¬
wold from the dedication of its chapel or church to
that faint.
In Domefday Book x, Stoches was held by Hugh,
of William de Ow : It confifted of three carucates
worth 50 1. This land Toul held in mortgage [in
465
vadimonio J T. R. E. of the land of Sclnreburn. 1 con-
jefture this to be Stokewood from its relation to
Sherborn, as alfo from the fmall quantity of land,
it being a little vill, and from- the quantity of wood
there. Fife there is nothing to diftinguifh it from
feven more places, which afb furveyed by the names
of Stoches, Stoke, and Stockes.
This place belonged the ancient family of the
Cantilupes, who feem to have been originally feated
in Worcefterfhire and Herefordftiire Wdliam , the
firft of this line, occurs 1 John, and died 23 HI III.
William his foil fucceeded him, who died 35 Hi III.
William his fon fucceeded, and died 38 H. III. leaving
by Eve his wife, daughter of Walter de MarefchatJ
earl of Pembroke, Georg e his fucceffor, and two
daughters, Milicent , firft wife of John de Montalt,
and afterwards of IvoorEudode la Zouch, and Joan
married to Henry Haftings. George, fcarce three
years old at his father’s death, died without iffue.
1 E. I. George Cantelupe, at his death, held the
manor of Stoke St. Edwold, and the hamlet of
Batecomb, of the heir of Nicholas Poyntz in chief,
as a member of this manor of Sutton, the manor of
Parva-Merfton, the burgh of Stowford, two parts
of the borough of Bridewater, with the out
manor called Haygrove, a moiety of the manor of
Edenworth, a member of the barony of Worlefton,
and feveral fees belonging to that barony, c. Somerfet;
Milicent le Zouch, and John, fon of Henry and Joan
Haftings, his heirs z. On the partition of his lands,
2 E. l.Milicent de la Zouch had for her pnrparty this
manor and feveral others, c. Bedford, Northampton,
Somerfet, Wilts, Devon, Hereford, York, Bucks,
and Nottingham ; John de Haftings had feveral
manors in Wales, Warwick Ihi re, Somerfet and Suf¬
folk. The feat of this family was at Afton-Cantilupe,
c. Warwick; their place of burial at the priory of
Studely in that county, to which they were bene¬
factors.
1 1 E. I. Hugh Poynts at his death held the manors
of Stoke St. Edwold and Batcomb, and other manors,
c. Kent and Somerfet ; Hugh his fon and heir, set. 1 7 z.
Elizabeth, daughter of Milicent de Montealto by her
firft hufband Eudo de la Zouch, brought it to her
hulband Nicholas Poyntz, who at his death, 5 E. II.
held lands and tenements here of the earl of Glou-
cefter, by fervice of two knight’s fees ; and together
with Elizabeth his wife half this manor of the gift
of the faid Milicent, in frank marriage, of the faid
earl, as a member of the manor of Sutton, by the
fame fervice z. 7 E. III. Hugh Poyntz, at his death,
held this manor of Elizabeth de Burgo, by fervice
of the twentieth part of a knight’s fee. He gave Joan
his daughter iol. yearly penfion to be received out
of this manor and Batcomb a. Margaret, daughter
and coheir of Nicholas his fon, brought it to her
hulband John Newburgh of Eaft Lullworth.

. From the Newburghs it paffed to their fucceifors
the lords Marney, and the iords Howard of Bmdon , who
held it of the manor of Cranborn. But the laid of
thefe families alienated it ; for 35 Eliz;* John fyTmtern
at his death held the manors of Stokewood and
Newland of the queen, as of her honour of Glou-
cefter, by knight’s lervice, value 61. 1 3 s, 4 d, Hence
it came to the RiJ/oops of Frenfham in Surry, who now
pofiefs it.
The cuftom of this manor is, or was,, that the
widows of copyholders for lives enjoy during their
widowhood the cuftomary lands whereof their huf-
bands died feifed \
’fhe Church
is a very fmall fabric, confiding only of a chancel
and body, but is very neatly paved and pewed, being
rebuilt and ornamented about 1720. Dean Chandler’s
Regifter calls it a chapel, but does not fay it was
dependent on Yateminfter, though it very probably
was, as it immediately follows Yateminfter, Clifton
and Ryme, which two lad are exprefsly faid to be
fo, and are all dill peculiars of the church of Sarum :
nor is mention made of any dedication, though it was
no doubt dedicated to St. Edwold. x R. III. in the
inquifition on the death of John Newburgh it is diled
a free chapel, but improperly.
The Rectory
does not occur in the valor 1291. The patrons were
always the lords of the manor, or their leflees or
trudees. It is a difeharged living in Shadon deanry,
and a peculiar of Sarum.

John Chandler, dean of Sarum, iffued a commiffion
to Robert de Hattefield reftor of Chefilborn, and

as William Payne domicellus had prefented Richard
Bavet, chaplain, to the parochial church of Stoke¬
wood, in his jurifdicfion, then vacant, they Ihould
enquire concerning the vacancy, the right of prefen-

mandate to John, perpetual vicar of the parochial
and prebendal church of Yateminder, he. to cite
feven or eight credible parilhioners to make the en¬
quiry, and John Thomelyn, who pretended to be
reftor, to appear. Aug. 19, feven parilhioners ap¬
peared in Stockwood church, but neither Thomelyn
nor his prodor, and he was therefore declared con¬
tumacious, The jurors found the church not vacant,
becaufe John Thomelyn redor of Winterborn-Wad
was in polfelfion, and received the profits for above

Thomelyn at the lad vacancy, have a right of pre-
fynting .alternately ; that the church was not taxed
nor litigable ; yearly value levcn marks, out of which
a peqfion of 4 s. was paid yeqrly to the prebendary of
Prefton : that it wa$ not a free chapel, but a paro¬
chial church with cure of fouls VcurataK and required
pcriqnal refidence, and had hhe adminiftratlop of the
lacraments and all parochial rights : that Bavet was
fifty four years old, in prieds orders, and of compe¬
tent knowledge and morals. On the return of the
inquifition, the dean fends a commiflion to Hattefield,
hnd John, yeidor of Bradford, to remove Thomelyn,
and inditute and induct Bavet, 22 Aug, 1406,
The comrniflaries ilfued a mandate to the vicar of
Yateminder, and Richard, re&or of the chapel of
Bere [HacketJ to cite Thomelyn to appear in the
church of Yateminder Monday after the decollation
of St. John Baptid, which he did, and the inquifi¬

altation of the crofs, he was to give in his anlwer in thq
parochial and prebendal church of Shcrborn ; after
which Thomelyn \vas removed, and Bavet had a
mandate for induction 16 Sept, following.
The return to the commiffion 1650 was, that the
parfonage was worth 48 b per annum, viz. the glebe

YATEMIN STER.
; I
This is a very large parilh, and gives name, to a
hundred lituated three miles N. W. from Stoke.wood,
on the weftern borders of the county, near the riven
Ivel. Yateminfler conlills of a very long llreet, and
the houfes being generally well built, it has the ap¬
pearance of a town. In ancient records it is oftep
wrote Gateminfter, T and G being formerly, ufed
promifcuoufly or mi (taken for one another by the co-
pyilts : and it feems to be fo called from fome remark¬
able gate or pals here. Tradition fays, that it was a
principal gate into the forelt of Blakemore, and that
Ryme was a poltern gate to it. Mr. Coker calls it
“ Eatminjler, * dr more truly Eajhmnflcr , from its fitua-
tion from fome other church,” which indeed is a more
rational etymology. The ancient parilh was much
larger than the prefent, and included Clifton, Ryme,
and Stokewood.
In Domefday Book c, Etimnjire was held by the
bifoop of Sarijberie , and cOnfilted of twenty carucates,
befides fix carucates that never gelded T. R. E. It
was and is worth 22 1. Of this fame land William
held of the bilhop fix hides, worth 4 1. Thofe who
held it T; R. E. could not be feparated from the
church.
A.D. 1091, 4\VilliamPuifi, Ofmiind* bilhopof Salis¬
bury by his letter certilies, that he built a new
church at Salifbury* i. e. at Old Sarum, and placed
canons there, and endowed it inter alia, with the
town of Eteminfter, and knights fees of lands thered.
T. John, a fair was granted here to the dean of
Sarum. 28 E. I. the bilhop of Sarum had a grant
for a market and fair here e. 1 5, 16, 17, R. II. John,
bifliop of Sarum, had a confirmation charter of a
market and fair here f.
The principal manor feems to have belonged to the
bilhop and chapter of Sarum, of which we have this
account 17 H. VIII. from the computus of the prce-
poftus of Yateminfler :

The Manor of Yateminster-Prima or UpburA
This manor, prebend and farm. Was leafed by
Jolhua Butler, LL.D. prebendary 1729 to Algernon
lord Hertford and his lady, and lord Broke, for their
lives: and in purfuance of the adt 21 Geoige II.
were allotted and fettled during the ellate gianted
by the leafe to lord Broke. It then confifled of 55
tenements, 203 acres of land, and feveral annual
rents, including cuflomary and conventionary rents
and lands in hand, value ml. 10 s. 6 d. per an¬
num.
Here is a farm with glebe lands, and the great
tithes of the re&ory, value 160 1. per annum, held
by leafe by the late reverend Mr. Haines, reftor of
Catflock, and now by his fon. This farm feems to
conflitute the prebend of Yateminfler fecunda. Yate¬
minfler gives name to three prebends in the church
of Sarum, Yateminfler and Grimflon, Yateminfler-
Prima, and Yateminfler-Secunda.

Carswell. Totnel.

Leigh. Long-Wydihoke.
Carswell,
a farm lying about a mile and half S. W. from
Yateminfler, which anciently belonged to the abbey
of Milton. 6 E. VI. lands here belonging to Milton
abbey were granted to fir ‘Thomas Palmer , afterwards
attainted : and 4 Eliz. to Bartholomew Brokejby and
Edzvard Downing, gent, value 5 1. 1 o s. who the
fame year fold them to William Winterhay of Chetnol,
and his heirs. 38 Eliz. William and John Winterhay
fold them to Robert Meller and his heirs.
Chetnoll,
a tithing, chapelry, and hamlet, diftant about two
miles S. from Yateminfler, of which manor it is a
member. It can hardly be the Chenolle of Domefday
Book h, which then belonged to William de Braiofe ;
for as a member of Yateminfler, it no doubt belonged
to the church of Sarum, and therefore may be in¬
cluded in the furvey of that parilh. 6, 1 1 Jac. I.
this vill and lands here were granted to Robert earl
of Somerfet . 14 Jac. I. the manor and lands here,
parcel of the manor of Yateminfler, and late fir
Walter Rawleigh’s poffeflions, were granted to fir
John Digby, in which family it ftill remains.
Here is a chapel, ferved once a fortnight by the
vicar of Yateminfler. It is a fmall fabric, and con¬
tains nothing remarkable.
The return to the commiffion 1650 was, that there
was a vicarage in Yateminfler, Leigh, and Chetnoll,
value 45 1. per annum, and a church at each place.
The Prote&or was patron. 1
Leigh,
a chapelry, tithing, and hamlet, fituated about two
miles E. from Chetnol. It cannot be the Lege of
Domefday Book *, which then belonged to Robert
Fitz Gerold, becaufe this as a member of Yatemin¬
fler muft have belonged to the church of Sarum, and fio
have been included in the furvey of that parilh. 6, 11
Jac, I. this vill and lands here were granted to Robert
Carr, afterwards earl of Somerfet. 14 Jac. I. the
manor and lands here, parcel of fir Walter Raw¬
leigh’s poffeflions, were granted to fir John Digby ,
in which family it now continues. In a fubfidy roll
1661, it is faid that Wolley Meller, efq. held lands
here.
Here rifes a rivulet.
About half a mile S. from Leigh, Mr. Taylor’s
map places a Miz-maze, probably fuch a one as Ras
been taken notice of in Pimpern.
Here is a little Chapel, officiated in once a fort¬
night by the vicar of Yateminfler.
The return to the commiffion 1650 was, that the
impropriation was worth 8 1. per annum, and belong¬
ed to Richard Fifher. The vicarage was worth 12 1.
T E M I N S T E R.
per annum, which has been paid by order of the
committee to fuch godly miniflers as had officiated.:
at prefent none was fettled here. They had a chapel
Handing in the midft of the parilh, and another at
Chetnol. There were three hundred and fifty fouls
in their tithing.
Totnell,
a little hamlet, a member of Leigh. 6, 1 1 Jac. I.
lands in Totnel in Leighe in the tenure of Thomas
Meller, gent, parcel of the poffeflions of fir Walter
Rawleigh, were granted to Robert earl of Somerfet,
and 14 Jac. I. to fir John Digby, to whofe defcendant
Henry lord Digby it now belongs.
William Taunton, efq. has a fmall feat here.
Winterhays,
a farm, lying part in this parilh and part in that
of Stokewood. 19 Eliz. Giles Winterhays at his
death held a meffuage and fixty two acres of land
here of the church of Sarum, as of their manor of
Ubbery-prima in the parilh of Yateminfler, by
fealtys fuit of court, and 6 s. yearly rent for all
fervjpes, yearly value 40 s. William his fon and
heir '.
Long-Wydihoke, a farm, of which we have
no account.
The Church of Yateminfler
is a large ancient ftru&ure, probably built by the
dean of Sarum and the prebendaries of this place,
and confifts of a chancel, body, two ifles, and an
high tower adorned with battlements and pinacles,
and containing five bells. Some of the Horfeys of Clif¬
ton are faid to be interred here, probably the defen¬
dants of fir George Horfey, who poffeffed a fmall
eftate in or near this parilh. This church is dedi¬
cated to St. Andrew , as dean Chandler’s Regifter,
and there were faid to be two chapels, called Lye and
Chocknoll , i. e. Leigh and Chetnoll before men¬
tioned. The chapels of Ryme and Clifton are
faid to be dependent on this church ; and Stokewood
feems to have belonged to it by its being placed
amongft the chapels dependent on it, though that
dependency is not exprefsly mentioned.
The R e c t 0 r y or Prebend.
In 1291, the tithes were parceled out between
three prebends, viz. the prebend of Yateminfler and
Grimfton, valued at 30 marks ; the prebend of magiffer
Richard de Colelhill, valued at 12 marks, and the
prebend of Ds. T . valued at 13 marks. They
are rated amongft thofe benefices that belonged ad
communia de Sarum. The firft and principal of thefe
prebends feem to have been alienated, t. Eliz. and
t. Jac. I. as before mentioned.
The Vicarage
is not mentioned in the valor 1291. The patron
was generally one of the prebendaries, perhaps the
principal one, or his leffee. It is a difcharged living
in Shafton deanry.

The return to the commiftion 1 650 was, that they
had an impropriation, which, befides Ryme and Clif¬
ton, was worth 120 1. per annum. Mr. James Fifher
of Somerton, c. Somerfet and Mr. Richard Fifher of
this place were impropriators. They had one
vicarage houfe belonging to Yateminfter, Lyegh, and
Chetnoll ; one parfonage houfe in Ryme, and one in
Clifton. The privy tithes of Yateminfter, Lyegh,
and Chetnoll, befides R.yme and Clifton, are worth
45 1. or near 50 1. per annum. The Lord Proteftor
was patron of the vicarage. They had rto minifter
fettled by order, their quondam minifter being outed,
and fuch as the committee have fent had deferted
them. The profits of the vicarage, fince the vicar
was fequeftered, have been paid to fuch minifters as
were fent by the committee; and fince they deferted,
to the minifter then with them in part. They defire
an order to gather money from fuch as will not con¬
tribute for the maintenance of the minifter, in lieu of
tithe and future fubfiftence. They had four chapels
of eafe, Leigh, Chetnol, Ryme, and Clifton ; but the
two laft had alienated themfelves. All ftand within
a mile aud a quarter of Yateminfter, the mother
church, and are fit to be united to it as formerly,
and none of them were fit for parifh churches.

Alton-Pancras.
This little vill is fituate in a vale, two miles N.
From Piddle Trenthyde, watered by a little rivulet that
rifes at the N. end of the parifli, and falls into the
Piddle at Piddle-Trenthyde. It derives its principal
name from the Saxon alb ton, i. e. Old-Town,
and its additional one from the dedication of its church.
In Domefday Book a, the bijhop of Sarum held
Altone. The land is fix carucates, befides which he
had two carucates in demefne, which never gelded.
Eduuard hath "two hides and a half, and Paganus
two hides and a half ; the lord (hip of the bifhop is
worth 13 1. that of his free tenants 4 1.
In 1091, 4 Will. Rufi, Ofmund bifhop of Sarum
gave by charter to the canons of that church Auliona
inter aliay prater militum terras b. Perhaps the laft
lands were the farm at the N. end of the parifli, and
Hocombe. By an inquifition of the knights fees
made in the Exchequer before John de Kirkely the
king’s treafurer, Jofceline de Lancans held here one
knight’s fee of the bifliop of Sarum ; a moiety of
which Henry le Frere held of the faid Jofceline. 20
E. III. Robert de Aulton and Robert de Shirewood held
here half a knight’s fee, which was formerly held by
Robert de Aulton. The owners of this vill, by a
fubfidy roll 1661, appear to have then been George
Penney , elq. Mr. William Stickland , and Mr. Thomas
Arnold.
The two manors, or parcels of demefne land, now
denominate and belong to two prebends in the church
of Salifbury ; viz. A\tovi-Borealis and Alton -Aujlralis.
Alton - Bo reams.
A family named Stickland have been long leflees here.
In 1645, a rent paid out of this farm to the church
of Sarum by John Stickland, val. 20 1. per annum,
was fequeftered. In this family or their heirs it Rill
continues. Their feat, which is ancient, Rands a
little N. of the church.
Alton - Australis.
A branch of the Arnolds (of which family fee more
in Ilfington in Piddletown) were leflees here for
feveral generations. Mr. Coker c fays, “ It was the
principal feat of the Arnolds, a very populous fa¬
mily.” In 1645, a rent of 22 1. 10 s. paid out of
this farm by John Arnold to the church of Sarum, was
fequeRered. After the Arnolds, Mr. Thomas Hajkct,
an eminent apothecary in Salifbury, became lelfee ;
and left this eflate to his nephew Thomas Haiket,
efq. who rebuilt the ancient houfe here a little S.
of the church in a very elegant manner, and died
and was buried here 1745. From him it came to his
daughters and heirs, Mary , married to . Parry,
of Eafion-Grey, c. Wilts, efq. and Ann, to Pool
Bathurjl , efq. A mofl humane and charitable action
of Mr. Hafket ought to be mentioned to his honour,
and for an example to poflerity. Mr. Noyes, vicar of
this parifli and of Winterborn St. Martin, dying in
the middle part of life, 1732, left a widow and about
eight children unprovided for. As the income of
both his livings was not fufficient to maintain fo large
a family, Mr. Haiket, by his interefl with the dean
and chapter of Salifbury, the patrons, and the bifliop
of Briflol and the lord chancellor, kept this living
open about four years ; during which time he engaged
eight or ten neighbouring clergymen, of which I was
one, to ferve the cure, and applied the income to¬
wards the fubfiflence of the family, placing out fome
of the children, and putting the widow and the refl
in a way to provide for themfelves ; and then pro¬
cured the feals for Mr. Moody, the living being
lapfed to the crown.
At the N. end oT the parifli is a farm anciently be¬
longing to the church of Sarum. Its old name feems
to be Rarcomh \ for, 38 Eliz. the grange and farm
of Barcomb was held by Giles Penny [of Toller-
Welme] of the bifliop of Sarum, as of his manor of
Sherborne, by rent of 1 d. per annum. Sed qucere ?
In 1645, a farm here belonging to George Penny,
efq. reculant, val. 1641 160 1. per annum, was fe-
queflered. In or about this lafl century it was pur-
chafed by A’wnjham Churchill of Upper Henbury,
efq. to whom fucceeded his nephew William , whole
brother AwnJJoam Churchill, efq. now poflefl'es it.
Holcomb, Howcomb, or Hocomb,
a farm fituated about a mile S. from Alton-Pancras,
which, by the inquifitions of the Trencbard family,
feems formerly to have belonged to them ; but fince
it has had the fame lords as the farm lafl-mentioned.

part of the parilh thefe lands lay.
By the value of the bifhop of Sarum’s lands in
Domefday Book, it is not improbable that they dif¬
fered fome alienation in the reign of queen Elizabeth.
The Church
is a little ancient fabric, fituated about the center of
the parifh, and confiffs of a body, chancel, and loW
tower. It was repaired and beautified by Thomas
Hafket, efq. partly at his own expence, and partly
with fome contributions from the dean and chapter
of Salifbury. It is dedicated to St. Pancratius , a
nobleman of Phrygia, who differed martyrdom under
Dioclefian at Rome ; where is a church dedicated to
him, as is one alfo near London d.

This little village lies on the N, W. extremity of
;tjip county, on the borders of Somerietfhire, two
miles , N. E. fr.om . Corfcomb. One would be apt to
imagine it derived its name from the Saxon Ejalig
and Stoc, i. e. a holy place ; but there was never
any religious haufe here to countenance that etymo¬
logy. Perhaps very early in the Saxon age a church
.might have been erefted here, and the only one in
this neighbourhood.

King Athulfils gave Algerjioke to the church of
Sherborn. King Ethehvulf, A. D. 841, gave 15 catlates
at Alganjhr to that monaftery. King Ethelred, in his
charter to that church A. I). 998, recites and confirms
the fame number of caffales here. Pope Eugenius III.
by bull dated 1145, confirms Hclgafioc, and pope
Alexander ILL in another 1303, Halthejloke , with its
church and chapel L It does not occur in Domefday
Book among the pofTdlions of the abbot of Sher¬
born.
In the book of knights fees in the Exchequer, by
inquifition before J. de Kirkeley the king’s trealurer
it was found that the abbot of Sherborn held of the
king in chief the vill of Halicheftoke , which belongs to
his barony, by fervice of two knights in the king’s
army 40 days. In 1293 the lands of the abbot in
Halghejloke were rated at 113 s. 4 d.k In 1314, 7
E. II. John , fon and heir of Warin Crabb, of Hal-
gerftoke, did fealty to John abbot of Sherborn, and
acknowledged the payment of ns. yearly rent, and
one pound of pepper L 9 E. II. the abbot had a
grant of meffuages and lands in Halwejloke m. The
fame year it was found rtot to the king’s lofs'to grant
licence to Robert Fitzpaine to give one mefluage and
one carucate of land' in Halgheftoke to the abbot and
convent of Sherborne for ever ; which land he held
of the laid abbot n. 10 E. II. John Wyke did homage
and fealty to R.obert abbot of Sherborne in the pre¬
fence of John Bingham, See. and acknowledged his
fervice for the fourth of a fee, paying yearly 5 s.
8 E. III. the abbot had a charter for free warren in
his demefne lands in Algarftoke. 4 E. VI. the ma¬
nors of Flalftoke and' Netherfloke, and lands there
belonging to Sherborn abbey, were granted inter alia
to Richard Fermo'r, in compenfation of lands taken
from him by H. VII l . 1 and 2 Philip and Mary,
the premifes were granted to John Fermour , knt. which
perhaps was a confirmation of the former grant. 3
and 4 Philip and Mary, fir George Delalind at his
death held the manor of Halftock, and lands there,
of John Fermour, knt. as of his manor of Halftock,
in focage, val. 46s. ibcL In 1741 it was purchafed

was very early appropriated to the church of Sarum,

forth, that the churches of Lyme and Halgeftoke were
fubjeft in all things [in omnibus rejpondifjhit] to him and
the archdeacons his predeceffors, as other parochial
churches in that archdeaconry ; and afterwards thefe
two churches were afiigned as a prebend of the churcn
of Sarum, and Simon, fon of R.obcrt, was collated
to it. He freely, and of his own accord, and by the
authority of Hubert bifhop of Sarum, remits his

The return’to the commiffion, 1650, was, that the
impropriation belonged to Richard Alford, of Lime-
llegis, gent, and was worth 148 1. per annum; of
which there is dated out for 15 or 16 years to come
to feveral perfons parcels of glebe ground to the
value of 40 L.-the rents thereof to the parfon being
but 2 1. 10 s. 8 d. yearly. That their curate, was a
preaching minifter, and his ftipend 50 1. per annum.
■ Of late years the glebe and tithes are held by leafe
from the church of Sarum by the corporation of Lyme.
There is no mention of a vicarage or vicar in dean
Chandler’s Regifter, or other records, nor does it
occur in the ancient or modern valor ; fo that it was
formerly probably ferved by a ftipendiary pried: ap¬
pointed by the prebendary. It is now a donative or
perpetual curacy in the gift of the corporation of
Lime, as leffees of the prebend, and is in Bridport
deanry.
A private madhoufe (the only one in this county)
has been kept in this village beyond the memory of

This final 1 parifh, a member of Fordington liberty,
in Dorchefter divifion, lies about two miles N. from
Great-Mintern. It takes its prefent name from the
hermitage or priory anciently founded here 5 before
the foundation of which it muft have had fome other
name, now entirely loft. - Perhaps it might be one
of the many Cernes mentioned in Domeiday Book.
Here is a fair held Augufl 1 5.
In or near this village a remarkable accident hap¬
pened Jan. 13, 1583, being Sunday. A ground con¬
taining three acres (Stow cxprefsly fays it was in this
parilh) removed from the place where it firft hood,
and was carried clear over another clofc, where alder
and willow trees grew, the fpace of 40 goad, every
goad containing 1 5 feet, and flopped up an highway
that directed towards Cerne. And yet the hedges
wherewith it was inclofed environed it ftill, and the
trees flood thereon upright, faving one oak, that was
well nigh 20 goads, removed. The place that this
ground quitted was left like a great hollow pit
Mr. Camden r takes notice of this event, and gives
nearly the fame account : “ Non minus oftentum in
“ comitatu Dorfettenfi hoc anno vifum, quam 1571
“ in Herefordenfi, i.e. apud Mercley-Hillin Kinafton.
,c Ager enim 3 jugerum in Blackmore, cum arboribus
“ et fepimentis e loco fuo emotus, fuper alium tranf-
“ greffus eft, hiatu ingenti relido. Sc via publica,
<< qua ad Cernam itur, interclusa. An hoc factum
“ ex hujufmodi fubterraneo turbine, quo Seneca
“ Dcoruin capita in Jovis ledifternio in contrarias
“ partes converfa fuiffe prodidit ; an ex multo hu-
“ more, fontibus uberius fcaturientibus, cum ager
« ille in declivi pofitus, alii inveftigarint.”
The manor, being a member of that of Fording-
ton, feems to have belonged to the crown, or its
iefTees and grantees. 3 and 4 Philip and Mary, fir
George Delalmd held at his death the manors of Her¬
mitage and Plartley of the king and. queen, clear
yearly value 15 b 12 s. 6d. and to his anceftors it
very probably belonged. How it palfed by his co¬
heirs does not appear. In later times it belonged to
the Colliers of Piddle-Trenthide, or a branch of that
family, who had a feat here. In 1645, captain Henry
Collier’s farm here was fequeflered. He compounded
for 200 1. This perhaps may be the eftate lately
pofefled by Robert Henley, of Glanvills-Wotton, efq.
1 1 Car. I. a parcel of walte ground or common,
called Ermitage Common, confiding of 300 acres,
parcel of the°manor of Fordington and dutchy of
Cornwall, was granted for 2 1 years to John White.
25 Eliz. the reverfion of E. Coppice here, contain¬
ing 55 acres leafed to Robert Freke was granted to
Edward Heron and John Nicholas, and their heirs.
The royalty feems to belong to the prince of Wales,
as duke of Cornwall, except when it is merged in the
crown.
In this vill, 1613, were lands belonging to the
manor of Out-Ryme.

fiiop Wyvii’s Regifter, vol. II. fol. 83. In records
it is fometimes caiied the priory or hermitage juxta
Dorchefter, 1 fuppofe ori account of ics being a mem¬
ber of the liberty of Fordington near that town ;
for this viil is uiftant from thence 12 or 14 miles.
It was dedicated firft to St. Laurence, then to the
Blelfed Virgin Mary. Mr. Coker 1 fays, “ it was an
hermit’s cell, built by an unknown founder, and pa¬
tronized by the earls of Cornwall from Edw: I’s time.’*
28 E. I. Edmund earl of Cornwall, at his death,
held this hermitage, and the advowfon of it u. This
nobleman was a great benefa&or to, if not the founder
of, this houfe.
7 E. II. the king confirmed to the friars hermits
of Blakemore the feite of the hermitage within that
foreft, containing 10 acres, de fitu damns, which', and
14 acres more, Edmund earl of Cornwall held in chief,'
and were granted by him x. The fame year lands
called Rocomb, in Blakemore foreft, were granted to
Ingram Berenger and heirs ; but the grant was after¬
wards cancelled, not having palled in form. 9 E. II.
the king granted them eight acres of wafte in the
foreft, in a place called Rocumb , paying a rent of
2 s. 8 d. at the Exchequer A The fame \ ear the king
confirmed to the prior a mefluage and 90 acres of
land in Fingrithe, purchafed of S. Sharp1. 11
E. II. Alice countefs of Oxford releafes a rent of 9 «.
7 d. out of Fingrithe to the prior of the church of St.
Laurence, in Blakemore. 14 E. II. a grant of a
place called Rocumb, in Blakemore foreft, of 76
acres, granted formerly by Ingram Berenger, was re¬
newed £. 19 E. II. it was found not to the king’s
detriment, to grant licence to Ingram Berenger to
give 100 acres of land in llocom'be to the prior,
chaplains, and hermits of Blakemore for ever ; which
lands are held of the king in chief *. The fame year
the prior, chaplains, and hermits here had a grant
of 100 acres of land in Rofcombe, given by J. Be¬
renger to make a chantry.
But the convent feem to have forfaken their habi¬
tation here about 1460; for after that time it is
fpoken of as a free chapel, the mafterflfip of which
was bellowed on fecular priefts. 6 E. IV. the king
gave to William Brown the cuftedy of the houfe or
chapel called Le Priory Hermitage juxta Dorchefter b.
9 E. IV. William Brown, then Riled mafter or cuftos
of the hofpital or houle of St. John Baptift in Dor¬

That “ in his time it fcarce afforded a houfe ; but that

“ earl of Carleile.” 6 E. II. William de Herteley
held lands and tenements at Hertley, of the king in
chief, as of his manor of Fordington, belonging to
the earldom of Cornwall, now in the king’s hands, in
focage, by fervice of 30 s. yearly. He alfo held at
Moryate 1 capital meffuage, 30 acres of land, &c.

On the N. wall of the nave below the N. ifle is
a very handfome monument of white marble:
Near this place lies interred the body of the
honourable Charles Churchill , efq. fourth
fon of fir Winfton Churchill, of the county
of Dorfet, lent. He was at thirteen made
page of honour to Chriftian king of Den¬
mark, and at fixteen gentleman of the bed¬
chamber to his brother, the renowned prince
George.
His martial genius led him to the wars ; and
his diftinguiffied courage, and condud, made
him foon taken notice of by his prince. He
was made major general of foot, and gover-
nour of Kingfale in Ireland, by king William ;
and after many battles fought with great
bravery and condud, was efteemed one of
the beft commanders of foot in Europe.
By his royal and gracious miftrefs, queen. Anne,
he was made governour of the Tower of
London, general of the army, and general
in chief of foot, and had a great and honour¬
able Ihare in the memorable battle of Blen¬
heim. After which, for his many and great
fervices, he was made goverftour of Bruflels,
colonel of the Coldftream regiment of foot
guards, and governour of her Majefty’s ifiand
of Guernfey. 2
In the year 1702, he married Mary, daughter
and foie heirefs of James Gould, of Dorchef-
ter, efq. who, in honour of his beloved memo¬
ry, caufed this monument to be ereded.
His known bravery, generous fpirit, and friendly
temper, made him efteemed and beloved by
all that knew him ; and his unalterable af-
fedion for the church, his fidelity to the
crown, and love of his country, have jufily
recommended him to pofterity. He died,
much lamented, 29 December, 1714, in the
56th year of his age.

P I D D L E-T RENTHIDE,
Colliers- Piddle,
a large parilh, fituated on the river Piddle, one
mile S. from Alton-Pancras, contiguous on the S.
to Piddlehinton. It receives its principal name
from the river Piddle, which rifes here, and its ad¬
ditional one from its confiding of 30 hides. It is
ftyled Colliers- Piddle from a family that flourilhed
here many generations, as leflees to the abbey of
Hide and Winchefter college. The parilh is divided
into 3 divifions, improperly called titliings.
Emma, wife of K. Ethelred, and mother of
Edward the Confeflfor, gave Pidele of 30 hides, and
the church with its appurtenances, to the new mc-
najlery at Winchejler h. This houfe was defigned by
K. Alfred, but founded by his fon Edward the elder,
about 963. It was a Benedi&ine monaftery, firft
ereffed near the cathedral in Winchefter, but removed
A. D. 1 1 1 1, by Henry I. to Hide without the walls of
that city, before which it was called Newminfter1 to
diftinguilh it from the old minfter or cathedral. Mr.
Coker k therefore miftakes, in making Piddle the
gift of K. Alfred, in whofe time the houfe was not
founded.
In Domefday book 1 the church of St. Peter of
Winton held Pidrie : theland is 17 carucates; T. R. E.
it gelded for 30 hides. Of this fame land, a foldier
or knight, and a certain widow, held three hides.
The demefne of the church is worth 28 1. the other
40 1. Almar and Alured held this manor T. R. E.
for two manors of K. Edward, and could not go
with the land to any other lord. Afterwards Roger
Arundel held it of K. William.

In this parifh are three farms, Fryland 150 1. per

Mr. Coker0 fays, tradition reports, that Ethelred
[brother and predeceffor to Alfred] king of the
Weft Saxons lived here; and that Kingrove, a fair
warren, with fome coppices adjoining, took their
name from him.
A little E. from Doles-AJh is an inclofure, where
were formerly dug up many human bones. It is
fuppofed to be a very ancient burial place, as it is
in light of the church.
Here, as Mr. Coker obferves, the Colliers long-
lived as tenants to the abbey, and afterwards to the
college of Winchefter, in good note and efteem.

of Dorchefter, on whofe death without ifiue it came
to John Jennings, efq. fon of James Jennings of Ship-

lifter to the abovementioned Mr. Conftantine.
Towards the lower end of the parifh Hands the
manor houfe, formerly belonging to the Colliers,
now to Mr. Jennings. It is a pretty large ancient
houfe built of {tone. A mofaic pavement was
found in the garden about 1740.
In a vale on the N. fide of the church riles the
river Piddle or Trent, which gives name to this and
feveral other parifhes and hamlets that ftand on its
banks. It is called lerent by Alter, who, fpeak-
ing of the Danifh army that came to Wareham
AA), 876, fays, that “ this place lay between the
“ two rivers Frara) [Frame'] and Fc rente p.” Flo¬
rence. of Worcefter calls it Trent a. Leland fays
% CK_ if Anne Collier widow, who died 1638. Reg.
“ Ther is a place in Dorfetftiire caullid Pidel Trent,
“ wherby it is yet eafy to perceve that the name of
<c Trent river, that Marianus Scotus fpekith of, yet re-
“ maineth, but it is communely caullid Pidel-Trent.”
Mr. Baxter in his Gloflary, p. 231, derives the name
of Trent , or Treonta, from the Britifh Troiient ,
which implies a winding river. Mr. Lluyd, at rhe
end of Baxter’s Gloflary p. 264, fays Pyden is pro¬
perly a Draw-well , from the Latin Puteus, but it is
alfo ufed for Mire.
This river runs from hence to Piddle-Hinton, and
feveral other places to which it gives name ; and
palling on the N. fide of Wareham, falls into Pool
Bay near Keyfworth and not into the Frome, accord¬
ing to fome maps. Oppofite the church it receives
a little brook, that rifes at Alton. The Devil’s Brook
from Ailer fails into it at Burlefton. A brook that rifes
at i I il ton, by Milton, Milborn, and Bere, falls into it
near Turners Piddle : another that rifes ac Roke,
runs through Bere, and falls into it at Chamber-
lan’s mill and another from Chefilborn at Burlefton.

it was rated at 1 5 marks : there was then a penlion

33 H. VIII. the reflory and advowfon were granted

does not feem to have taken effeft. In 1 645, Mr. Robert
Freke’s impropriate parlonage here was lequeftered.
The Vicarage.-
From the Sarum regifter it appears that it exifted
1314, if not long before : but the endowment does
not occur till 1423, nor was compleated till fome
time after. Bilhop Chandler appropriated this church
to the abbey of Hide 1429, and afterwards, 011 the
death of John Cole, re&or, John Berkele was militated
vicar. To the vicar were alfigned 10 marks, the
garba decmalis in the upper tithing of the vill,
the garba tricefimalis in the lords demefnes, all obla¬
tions, tithes of hemp, fax, apples, milk [ laflicinia J,
geefe, honey, wax, pigs, in the demefne land,
the tithe of hay, and of the copfes of Kyn-
grove and Incowmbe, dated 17 July, 1434 q. In
1314, and perhaps before, the reclor was patron;

This little vill is fituated on the borders of the

26 E.I. a market and fair was granted here.
It does not occur in Dorriefday Book, being pro¬

the daughter and heir of fir R.oger Novant had
iffue fir John Beauchamp of Ryme, father of Thomas,

of this family, was lord of Wimpfton, anciently
Wimondefton, in the parifli of Modbury in Devon.

25 H. VI. a patent was granted to change a fair here,
which is now kept Dec. 6, being St. Nicholas’s day.
King Athelftan endowed the monaftery of Milton
with thirty hides here, to turnilh their table with pro-
vifions [to poppscplont)], two hides at Chelmingtone,
and fix at Hylefelde r.
In Domefday Book 3 Sydelince is furveyed in three
parcels, one of which, confiding of twenty carucates
worth 25 1. belonged to the abbey of Milton. Another,
confiding of four carucates worth 4I. was held by
Anfgerius of the earl of Moreton : and another of one
carucate, worth 10s. by Amundus of the faid earl.
But thefe two lad parcels feem to relate to Uptidling,
and not to have belonged to the abbey of Milton.
In 1293, the lands of the abbot of Milton here
were valued at 19 1. 13 s. 4d.t. By inquifition, 5 E. II.
1310, this abbey poffeffed, by the gift of Atheldan,
the manor of Brodefydeling with its members, viz. Hul-
felde and Halvefhyde, Upfydelyng, Elidon, Chalming-
ton and Blakemore, and the advowfon of the church
of the faid manor, and the chapels of Elulfelde and Up-
fydelynge annexed : alfo in the faid manor 38 hides, viz.
in Brodefydelinge 30 hides, in Hulfelde and la Halve-
hyde fix, in Chalmington and Blakemore two, with ail
liberties, &c. Soon after, 15 E.II. 1321, this manor,
according to the cudomary of Milton, had nine virgata-
rii, fifteen dimidii ‘virgatarii , feven ferdellarii, or tenants
of one ferdling of land, 29 cotarii ; amongd thefe lad is
mentioned Dornus Cap dice S. Maria:, which held one
cottage, paying yearly 2 s. Chalmington is furveyed
in Sydling manor: alfo Blakemore and Edover, which
feem to be manors; in the lad were fifteen cotarii ,
but the furvey is imperfeff.
35 H. VIII. this manor, reclory, and advowfon of
the vicarage, were granted in exchange for lands in
Bedfordfhire and Middlefex to Wincbejler College ,
together with Little Ead Park, five acres : thirty
acres of arable in Corden, and padure for 1060
weathers \arietes~] in two flocks, and 587 ewes on
the downs, and padure for 460 hogajlri there
yearly: 36 acres of land in Eglifton field, in Eaft
Middle, and Wed Furlong: 231 acres of land in
Southfield and Newland, ' and feveral other fmall
parcels of land amounting to 197 acres, all parcel of
Milton monadery ; alfo lands in Milborn Port, parcel
of Cirenceder monadery, and the reftory and ad¬
vowfon of the vicarage, and tithe of garb and wool
in Upfidling. The premifes dill belong chiefly to
Wincheder College.
The manor and farm belonging to Winton College
has generally been leafed out to perfons of note. The
famous Sir Francis Walfingham , fecretary of date to
queen Elizabeth, was leffee here in that reign, as
not long after was Hubert , fourth fon of Thomas
Hu(fey of Thompfon, efq. who refided here in Mr.
Coker’s time, and was fheriff for this county 1645,
when his edate here, value 1641, 400 1. per annum,
was fequedered. In 1642, he was ordered to be
fent for as a delinquent for having faid, “ that if the
peace of the county was didurbed, it was owing to
fir Walter Erie:” which was deemed as a reflection
on the Parliament u. He left iflue by Anne, daughter
of Thomas Barnes of Duntifh, efq. Nicholas , who
occurs here in a fubfldy roll 1661, Hubert, Mary,
married to Ralph Arnold of Armfwell, efq. Selina,
and Agnes. Nicholas feems to have died without iflue,

Not long after, it was purchafed by William
Laurence of Wraxhall, efq. He was fucceeded by his
fon William , who, engaging in feveral unfuccefsfui
projects, became a bankrupt about the year 1712,
for the fum of near 20,000!. He palled the remainder
of his life as a prifoner at large in Ilcheder gaol, and
praCtifed phyfic in the country adjacent, in which art
lie had been inftruCted by his relation the famous Dr.
Sydenham, and died unmarried a few years afterwards.
Soon after Sir William Smith purchafed it. He
was a native of Lyme , where he had an eftate, and
had flood candidate to reprefent it in parliament. He
acquired a large fortune by merchandize ; and was
fheriff of this county 1738, and one of the (her ills
of London 1742, and eleCted alderman of that city
1746. He died 1752, and was buried in a vault
under the chancel here, with his lady and only'
daughter, who died before him.
This eftate, together with his others, devolved
to his coufin and heir, then a minor, now Sir John
Smith Bart, (he being lately created a Baronet of
Great Britain;) and fliould therefore be in the lift of
thofe belonging to this county, prefixed at the begin¬
ning of this work, but from that part being printed a
confiderable time fince; and before that Honor was
conferred upon him.
He is defeended in a dired line from Sir George
Smith (who was fheriff of the county of Devon, and
alfo of the city of Exeter, in the reign of queen Eli¬
zabeth, as mentioned in Ifaack’s Antiquity of that
town and county, and for whom there is an old mural
monument in that cathedral). — His family having long
held confiderable poffeflions there and in Somerfet-
Ihire, where they have refided. He married Elizabeth
daughter and foie heirefs of Robert Curtis efq. of
Wilfthorpe in the county of Lincoln, barrifter at law,
by whom he has iflue a fon, born May 19, 1770,
chriftened John Wyldbore, befides three fons who
died infants, and are buried here. — His brother, the
reverend Edmund Smith, is Fellow of Magdalen Col¬
lege in Cambridge ; and his filler (lately deceafed)
married George Gould efq. of Fleethoufe and Upway
in this county.
At the Weft end, a little above the parifh, and near
the church, Hands the manor houfe, which was a pretty
large old building of ftone, formerly the habitation
of the leffees of this part of the eftate, and probably
eredled by Sir Francis Walfingham; and near it is a
large barn 35 yards long, on one beam of which is
inferibed L. U. W. [i. e. lady Urfiila Walfingham the
founder], 1590.
This manor houfe had, for a long courfe of time,
till lately, been entirely negle&ed and decayed, the
owners not making it their refidence, and being but
very feldom here. But the place is now much im¬
proved by the prefent Sir John Smith, who has put
an entire new front to the houfe, and made additional
buildings and alterations, fo that there is fcarely any
of the old one appearing. He has alfo confiderably
added to his property hereabout, by purchafing the
freehold, manor, farm, and advowfon of the living of
Godmanfton, the adjoining parifh. He ferved the
office of fheriff of this county 1772.

Kilfield, HylefelJe,
a chapelry, hamlet, and tithing, lying about four
miles and an half N. from Sydling St. Nicholas, near
Batcomb. This manor was given by king Athelftan
to the monaltery of Milton. It is not mentioned in
Domefday Book, being perhaps included in Sydling.
The cuftumary of Milton mentions here four free
tenants, whereof Alan de Plukenet held in Fern-
berg, in Hilfeld, two virgates of land, paying yearly
13 s. 4d. for all lervices. John de Godmanfbon held
half a virgate in fee, paying yearly, on the feaft of
St. Sampfon, 15s. 2d. Here were befides, one vir-
gatarius, three half •virgatarii , two ferdellarii , and
13 cotarii. 31 H. VIII. this manor, lands here,, and
tithes of the demefne lands belonging to Milton abbey,
together with Little Burton in Charminfter, were
granted to ‘Thomas Trcnchard and his heirs, 6 E. VI.
Thomas Trenchard, kt. died feifed of the premifes,
value 12 1. 12 s. 6d.: Thomas his coufin and heir*.
In this family it hill remains.
Here is a chapel belonging to this hamlet, wherein
the vicar of Sydling officiates once a fortnight.
The return to the commiffion 1650 was, that they
were forced to maintain in part the church of Sydling,
and their own chapel, which was not fupplied by any
preaching minifler, the tithes being worth but 10 1. per
annum, and granted by copy by the warden of Win-
chefter, who they conceived had no power to grant
them ; fo had no maintenance for a minifler. They
defire they may be united to Batcomb, where they
ufually refort, about a mile diftant. They had too
perfons in their tithing. They requefl fome allowance
to the minifler of Batcomb, and to be excufed from
allowing any maintenance to the church of Sydeline.
The tithing flill pays the fifth penny of church rates
to Sydling church, and buries in that church-yard.
Mageston.
There are three farms of that name: Higher and
Lower Magcllon belong to Sydling, Little Mageflon to
Brampton.
Up Sydling,
a hamlet and tithing in Totccmb and Modbury hun¬
dred, fituated about one mile N. from Sydling St.
Nicholas. Up Sydling is properly the farm, and Fife-
hide the hamlet adjoining. The earls of March and
their fucceffors were formerly lords paramount here.
22 11. II. and 3 H. VI. they held one fee in Upfyde-
ling *. 1 1 E. IV. John Lifle held lands here of the
duke of York, as of his manor of Wigmore. 20 E. III.
Jacobus de Cobcham held here in Cerne hundred one
fmall fee, formerly held by John Cobeham for one
whole fee. 35 E. III. Henry duke of Lancajler held
here half a fee which Jacobus de Cobeham held.
45 E. III. John de Lifle, chev- and Matilda his wife,
held this manor of the duke of Lancafter by knight’s
fervice. 2 R. III. Ifabel, wife of Thomas Beauchamp,
once wife of John Lifle, held it of the heirs of Milo
de Stapleton.
After a long interval, during which we find no ac¬
count of this manor, it came to the Hardys, a branch
NIGHOL A S. 487
of thofe of Wolcomh-Matr'avers. In the Vifitation
Book 1565 there are three defeents of them given.
A patent of arms and a crefl was granted them 1586,
by fir William Dethick. In 1645 captain Hardy’s
eflate here, value 1641 300 1. per annum, was fequef-
tered. Ihe lad of this family were Thomas, James ,
and Robert. Ihomas was (herifF of this county 1595,
and died unman ied, as did James his lecond brother,
who was fraudulently deprived of his inheritance by
Robert his youngeft brother, who left three daughters,
. . . . . . . . . married to . Rock of Clofworth
c; Somerfet, efq. 1 lances, and Joan , who died unmar¬
ried. Mr. Rock, or his fon, fold this eflate to John
Brown, of horflon, efq. and now belongs to George
Brown, efq. of Frampton, as does a freehold farm at
Upiydlino-, to Sir John Smith, of Sydling St. Nicholas.
Here rifes a little rivulet, which, paffing by Sydling
St. Nicholas and Grimilon, falls into the Frome near
Muckelford.
Church Lands, feveral parcels of land here be-
forementioned belonged to the abbey of Milton. 1 7 E. II.
it was found not to the king’s detriment to grant leave
to Robei t de Faringdon, to give 100 s. rent ifluing out
of the lands here to the abbey of Milton: Remain to
the faid Robert, lands and tenements, at Farin°rdon in
Iwern-Courtney L
Heie was anciently a chapel of eafe near the man-
fion-houfe of the Hardys. It was ruinated long fince,
perhaps foon after the Reformation. The walls were
Handing about 1715, butis fince entirely demolifhed.
The Church,
dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a very handfome pile of
building, and (lands on the Well fide of the parifh
near the manor houfe. It confifls of a chancel, body,
and S. ifle ; and having very lately been repaired and
adorned, is allowed to be one of the neatefl and befl
churches in the county. The tower is neat, 63 feet
high, adorned, with battlements and pinnacles; in it
are five tuneable and remarkable heavy bells; and the
chancel was handfomely rebuilt by the late fir W.
Smith, who made alfo a large family vault under it.
And there have been lafely placed in the chancel two
handfome marble monuments, with the following in-
feriptions :
To the memory of
SIR WILLIAM SMITH,
knight, and alderman of the city of London,
and of his lady, and daughter.
He died the fixth of March 1752, aged 66.

The Rectory.
This re&ory was valued 1291 at 30 marks, when
a penfion of 30s. was paid out of it to the abbot of
Milton. 7 E. II. 1313, it was found that it would not
be to the king’s lofs, to appropriate this redtory to the
abbey of Milton z» This was ordered, and appro-

priated, and the vicarage endowed 1316. But it being
not to take place till the death of Englylham, then
rector, by a new a<ft 1 3 33 the redtory, with the chapels
of Upfydeling and Hillfield, were appropriated to that
abbey, and the vicarage endowed with 12 marks3.
The conventual church of Milton being lately burnt,
the rebuilding of it was a plaufible pretence for this
appropriation.
The Vicarage.
Before the diffolution of monafleries, the abbot of
Milton was patron; and fince, the warden and fellows
of Winchefler college. The vicar has only the great
tithe of Upfydling farm, and fome allowances from
the college in other parts of the parilh. The vicar¬
age houfe is a ftrong (lone edifice, and, by a date ou
it, was built 1564. It is a difeharged living, in Whit¬
church deanry.

STOUR PliOVOST,
a pretty large village, fituated on the river Stour,
whence it derives its principal name, about four miles
S. W. from Shafton. In ancient records it is called
Stour Prate), de Prate His, Preaux , Priaulx , and Prezves,
from the monaftery of Pratel or Preaux, to which it
belonged. Its prefent name Stour Provoft feems a
corruption of the former, and not from the provoft,
&c. of King’s College, Cambridge, who fucceeded in
their pofleflions here.
In Domefday Book0 Stur was held by R.oger de
Belmont of the king : it confifted of nine carucates,
once worth 9 1. now 8 1.
Roger de Bellomonte, father of Robert earl of
Leicefter and Mellent, gave this village, in the time
o’f William the Conqueror, to the nunnery of St.
Leodegar or St. Leger de Pratellis or Preaux in Nor¬
mandy, whereupon it became a cell to it p. In 1293 the
lands of the abbey here were valued at 8 1. 6 s. 8 d.s
R. O V O S T. 489.
18 E. II. the abbefs of Pratel leafed to Richard de
Clare the manor of Sture, C. Dorfet, and of Honington,
c. Wilts, and 10 1. to be received of the fhfriff of
Southampton, and the prmpofitus of the earl of
Leicefter, for 55 marks per annum r. 8 11. II. Adam
Attemore and Edith his wife held at their death the
manor of Stour Prewes and lands there ; alfo the
manor of la Bere in Ockford Shitlingfton, x mefiuage
2 carucates of land in Gcldinrd 'Shilling, and 1
mefiuage 2 carucates and 130 acres of land In Char-
minfter and Burton; alfo the manors of Fordington
and Burton, and 1 mefiuage r carucate of land in
Little-Frome juxta Dorchefter, and 1 mefiuage and 2
carucates of land in Marnhull and le More in Marn-
hull
It is not certain whether Attemore was leflee here
of the abbey, or committee of the crown; for before
and after this time, it ftxared the fate of all lands
belonging to foreign monafteries, and was feized into
the king’s hands, whenever a war broke out between
England and France. On the fuppreflion of alien
priories 1414, 2 H. V. it came to the crown ; after
that it was granted to Eton, and then to King’s college
in Cambridge.

Flere was an. alien priory, a cell to the nunnery of
St. Leodegar or St. Leger de Pratellis or Preaux
in Normandy. ; The foundation was begun by
Humphry de Vetulis, and perfected by his fon Roger
de Beilmonr, who, as well as his fon Robert carl cY
Mellent and Leicefter who died 1118, were great
benefaftors to it c. Humphry de Vetulis built two
monafteries at Pratella or Preaux, one for monks, the
other for nuns, both of the Benedictine order0.
Pratella, vulgo le Preaux, is an ancient little town
in the diocefe ofLifieux, in a valley on the Rillc
near Pont Adomar. Ordericus Vitaiis and Gemitr-
cenfis mention the two religious houfes here. Hoff¬
man derives their name from “ Prate Hum or Prat urn,
“ quod apud monachos locum quoque fitb dio norat,
“ feu atrium, quod clauftri porticus cingunt in mo-
“ nafteriis*.” He might more naturally have deduced
it from pratum a meadow, whence many religious
houles- in France and England were denominated.
This cell was frequently taken into our kings hands
during a war with France, as all other foreign mo-
naileries were, and committed to the cuftodv or fome
neighbouring gentleman. Finally, with all alien prio¬
ries it was fupprefied in parliament 2 FI. V. 1414.
King Hen. VI. feems to have granted it to Eton
college, which ptelented to the reftory 1457. King

BLAKEMORE or
This vale comprehended a large tra<5l of this coun¬
ty in the north and weftern parts of it, viz. the
whole hundreds of Brownfhall and Buckland-Abbas,
the greateft part of Sherborn and Whiteway, and
fome part of Pimpern, Tuilerford, and Yateminfter,
hundreds. Ic derives its name, either from the
nature of its foil, a deep ftrong and black clay, or
from the dark afped of its woods, and its moift and
moorifh fituation. It is well watered by abundance
of little rivulets, is very fertile, and confifts chiefily
of pafture for cattle and dairies.
In the villages included in it the ftreets are feldom
com pad and regular, but the houfes are fcattered
over large commons, belonging to each parifb, which
are not inclofed, but en voifmage : the reft of the vale
is inclofed, and the roads in general exceftively bad.
In former times it was full of wood, which is now
much thinned.

King Henry III. hunting in this foreft, among feve-
ral deer he had run down, fpared the life of a beau¬
tiful white hart, which afterwards Thomas de la
Lind, a neighbouring gentleman, of ancient defeent
and fpecial note, with his companions, hunted and
killed, at a bridge fince from thence called Kingftag-
Bridge, in the parifh of Fulham. The king, highly
offended at it, not only punifhed them With imprilon-
ment and grievous fine, but feverely taxed all their
lands, .which they then held, the owners? of which
yearly, ever fince to this day, pay a fum of money by
way of fine, or amerciament, into the Exchequer,
caWcd' IFhite Hart Silver, in memory of which, this
county needeth no better remembrance, than this
annual payment. The foreft for fome time loft its
ancient name, and was called the foreft of the White
Hart .: and the pofterity of Thomas de la.; Lynde,
inftead of the arms of Hartley, which' they then bore,
as having married their heir, gave ever after 3 white

perambulation made by Walter de Skamel and
Matthew de Columbar, by the king’s writ, 7 E. I.
fo that whatever by thefe perambulations was placed

faid bounds.
The commifhon, commifiioners, and jurors are the

the foreft of Gillingham.
An old record fans date fets forth that the greatefl
part of this foreft was difafForefted in the reign of
Henry 11. and that a part of it remained afforefted :
The bounds of the foreft extended northward to the
bridge of Sherborn, called Weftbrugge ; thence
weftward, and fouthward to the vili ofYatmynfter;
thence fouthward to Everfhut ; thence eaftward to
Middleton ; thence northward to Stourminfter Ny-
weton Caftie ; and from thence northward to Stour-
Provoft ; thence weftward to Hengftrege; and from
thence weftward to Caundle-Porle, and thence to
Heydon, and thence weftward to Weftbruggr.
It further lets forth, that in the laid reign, viz.
H. II. the bifhop of Sarum, and the abbots of
Glafton, and feveral abbots of this county, and other
lords, great men [magnates], knights andel'quires, who
held feveral manors, vills, villates, hamlets, and other

veral woods, &c. within the faid bounds, parcel of his
manor of Sherborn, where the bifhop and his tenants
of the faid villages enjoyed common of pafture, ex¬
cept where converted to the beforementioned ufes, or

Richard his fon and heir of full age x.
1 8 E. II. the office of fenefchal of this foreft was
granted to Ingram Berenger during pleafurey.
It was found in an original, 45 E. ill- 2 by inqui-
fition, that Thomas le Brutt of Blakemore at his
death held in demefne, as of a fee of the king in chief,
the cuftody of the king’s foreft of Blakemere, by fer-
jeancy and fervice of yielding to the king 4 s. a year
by the hands of the Iheriff of Dorfet for the time being.
Ralph, fon of the Paid Thomas, by his attorney,
acknowledged, that he held of the prefent king and
his father in demefne, as of fee in chief, the laid cuf¬
tody, by fervice of keeping a moiety of the Paid foreft,
and yielding the fame payment. He offered and paid
8 s. to the king for his relief for the faid cuftody;
one Ralph Bret, his anceftor, having been formerly
charged with that fum for his relief for the fame a.
There were, no doubt, anciently, feveral lodges in
this foreft ; the principal one was at Holwell b; and
there was another at Mapouder: where the reft were
is unknown. Probably there was one at Yateminfter,
for thereafon before given in Yateminfterr
HOLWELL.
Holewale ,
a pretty large village, fituated three miles N. W.
from Weft Pulham, and four miles and a half S. E.
from Sherborn. It is furrounded on all fides with
the county of Dorfet, and included within the bounds
of the hundred of Horethorn , and is near four miles
diftant from the borders of Somerfet, to the civil
jurifdicftion of which county it is fubjedl. There was
a particular road that joined it to Somerfetlhire ; but
it is now, and has long been worn out of remem¬
brance by time. The church and parfonage-houfe is in
this county, and in the deanry of Shafton ; on which
account the ecclefiaftical jurifdidtion belongs now to
the bifhop of Briftol, as it anciently did to the bifhop
of Sarum.
There are in feveral counties of England fimilar
inftances of parcels of counties encompaffed by ano-
A K E M O R E.
ther, and diffevered from the counties to which they
belong, for which there are various reafons affigned :
1. Where the ffieriff of one county had manors or
lands in his neighbouring county, he would, by
compofition, or by grant from the king, procure
them to be annexed to his own jurifdidlion, and fo
made part of his own county, and incorporated with
the fame. But this reafon cannot hold good with re¬
gard to Holwell, becaufe the counties of Dorfet and
Somerfec were under one flieriff for feveral ages.
2. Others conjecture, that, in the time of the Hep¬
tarchy, when continual incroachments and invaftons
were made upon their bordering neighbours, they
might encroach on lands, which lay of right in ano¬
ther county, and under another authority ; and hav¬
ing ulurped, kept them by force, and incorporated
them with their own counties, to which they were
adjacent. 3. Such parcels originally, before the di-
vifions of counties were abfolutely made and fettled,
belonged to fome great perfons, whofe refidence was
far diftant, and in old affeffments rated there, and
continued afterwards always fo taxed ; and for that
refpect have been, and ftill are, reputed part of thofe
ffiires. That this was the firft ground thereof is
evident from the inftances that might be given
through fundry parts of this realm, as feveral lands
belonging to Worcefterlhire are environed by War-
wickfhirec; and Hurft, near Reading, is in Wilts.
9 John, 1209, an agreement was made, Thurfday
before the nativity of the Virgin Mary, at Holwell
in Blackamor, between the king and Amph. Fill, for
his redemption, which was 10,000 marks, and 10
horfes, each worth 30 marks, or fo much for every
horfe d.
Mr. Coker e fays, this manor was given by Regi¬

king in chief, by fervice of half a knight’s fee of
mortain : Henry de Bykele his brother, uncle to
William Bykele jun. his next heir, 40 years old x.
13 E. II. Thomas Luda held the lands of Henry, un¬
cle and heir to William Bikeley jun. here, and had
his relief8. He or his heir gave it to the abbey of
Abbotfbury foon after. 10 E. III. the abbot of Jb-
boljbury had a charter of free warren in Holewale,
c. Somerfet. 2 H. V. he had a patent for lands ex¬
changed in Holewale, c. Somerfet. Mr. Coker e
fays it was purchafed by fir Giles Strangeways on the

The outer intrenchment round Knowlton chapel
feems intended to inclofe fifteen acres ; the ditch is
on the infide and broad. The dairy-houfe built by
the late Mr. Seymour (lands nearly in the center
of this work. The turnpike road from Salifbury
to Pool crofles it ; and a raifed road pointing fouth
runs from the vallum to the river. Of the tumuli
neared to it two are in Knowlton field, one planted
with trees by lord Shaftefbury, the other almoft le¬
veled ; four -encircle the fouth fide of the works,
one of which being levelled was found to contain
•four human (keletons : two more remain in Barrow
b Oa the Charter-day Gupper and Pike, aldermen, were feized by warrant from col. Fielding. There enfued a double election that

Woodland houfe was rebuilt by the late Mr. Sey¬
mour’s father; but the chapel, with the pulpit and
feats, remains in its original ftate. In the pediment
of the houfe are the Seymour arms, a pair of wings
furmounted by a ftar. Creft, a demi fpread eagle.
Motto, Foy pour dcvoire. In the fervants hall are fome
arms. In a field adjoining is a very large oak.
The a(li tree, under which the unfortunate duke of
Monmouth was apprehended, ftands on a large heath,
called Shags heath , about a mile and a half from this
houfe, and on the lame eftate. The tradition of the
neighbourhood is, that after the defeat at Sedge-
more the duke and lord Lumley quitted their horfes
at Woodyates, whence the former, difguifed as a
peafant, wandered hither. He dropped his gold
fnuff-box in a pea-field, where it was afterwards
found full of gold pieces, and brought to Mrs. Uve-
dale of Horton : one of the finders had fifteen pounds
for half the contents or value of it. The duke went
on to the Jjland , as it is called, a clufter of fmall
farms in the middle of the heath, and there
concealed himfelf in a deep ditch under the a!h.
When the purfuers came up, a woman who lived in
a neighbouring cott gave information of his being
fomewhere in the ifland, which was immediately fur-
rounded by foldiers, who palled the night there, and
threatened to fire the neighbouring cotts. As they
were going away next morning, one of them efpied
the brown fkirt of the duke’s coat, and feized him.
The foldier no fooner knew him than he burft into
tears, and reproached himfelf for the unhappy dif-
covery. The family of the woman who firft gave
the information are faid to have fallen into decay,
and never thriven afterwards. The duke was carried
before Anthony Etterick, efq. of Holt, a juftice of
the peace, who ordered him to London. Being
afked, What he would do if fet at liberty ? he an-
fwered, if his horfe and arms were reftored, he only
defired to ride through the army, and he defied them
all to take him again. Farmer Kerley’s grandmother,
lately dead, faw him, and defcribed him as a black,
genteel, tall man, with a deje&ed countenance. The
dole where he concealed himfelf is called Monmouth
Clofe , and is the extreme!! N. E. field of the Ifland.

On Thurfday, 20 Jan. 1774, died at Abbotf-
bury, in this county, at a very advanced age, one
Thomas Crew, who was at the taking of Vigo, and in
'the lecond Ihip that entered the harbour after the
boom was lprung by the gallant admiral Hobfon,
12 July, 1703; was at the taking of the important
fortrefs of Gibraltar, 23 July, 1704, under the com¬
mand of fir George Rooke ; and on the 13 th of
Augult following was in the great engagement
with the confederate fleet; the zed of Oftober he
was in the fleet under fir Cloudefly Shovel, when he
was wreckt. He was likewife in molt of the fea fights
in the reigns of King George the Firfl and Second ;
and fuppoled to have been the lall furvivor of the
above memorable events.
The fudden death of the worthy, learned, and in¬
genious ! Thomas Hollis , efq; in the fields at Corlcombe,
on the firfl day of January 1774, deprived this king¬
dom and its colonies of a judicious and Ready friend
to their interefts. Formed on the fevere and exalted
plan of ancient Greece; in him was united the hu¬
mane and diflinguilhed virtue of Brutus, with the
a&ive and determined fpirit of Sidney. A warm and
Arenuous advocate, in the caule of public liberty and
virtue, and for the. rights of human nature and
private confcience. His inviolable attachment to, and
firm zeal for, civil and religious liberty, were tem¬
pered with a moderation, di&ated by the moft con-
fummate wifdom. Uluftrious in his manner of uiing
an ample fortune, not by fpending it in the parade
of life, which he defpiled, but by affifting the defend¬
ing, and encouraging the arts and fciences, which he
promoted with zeal and affeftion, from a conviffionthat
the love of them leads to moral and intelleffual beauty.
His humanity, charity, and univerfal benevolence, Ihone
forth fo eminently amidft his other virtues, that he
was emphatically Ailed The Good Mr. Hollis . His
generofity was not confined to the fmall fpot of
his own country. Confldering himfelf as a citizen
of the World, he fought for merit in every part of
the globe ; but concealed his a&s of munifi¬
cence, content with the confcioufnefs of having done
well. Even thofe who little deferved it frequently
experienced the effefts of his liberality. His travels,
with a view to examine in perfon the feveral ftates of
mankind, under the different forms of government,
as well as for the fake of improvement in hiftory
and the fine arts, in all which he was a very great
proficient, confirmed him unalterably in his opinion,
that happinefs dwelt moft confpicuoufly in the courts
of liberty, and that national felicity bore a juft pro¬
portion to national liberty. Under the impreffion of
this fentiment we cannot wonder that Milton and
Sidney were his favourite authors; or that he was
elevated with the fine imagination of the one, the
manly freedom and eloquence of the other, and the
principles of both. His tafte was fine, and only to
be equalled by his judgment, which was clear, correft,
and decifive. His great abilities as well as his for¬
tune were entirely dedicated to affs of public and
private good. His unremitted labours in thefe great
and important fervices were fupported by a vigorous
conftitution. Pofterity will look up with admiration to
this great man, who, like Milton, is not fufficiently
noticed by the degenerate age in which he lived,
though it will have caufe to lament the lofs of him.
Certo da cuor, ch’alto deftin non fcelfe,
Son l’imprefe magnanime neglette ;
Ma le bell’ alme alle bell’ opere elette,
Sanno gioir nelle fatiche eccelfe :
De biafimo popolar, frale catena,
Spirito d’onor, il fuo cammin raffrena.

Mr. Hollis , by his own exprefs order, was buried in
a grave dug ten feet deep, in a field where he ufed
frequently to walk, oppofite the front of his houfe ; the
field was to be inftantly ploughed over, and a fecond
time foon after, then fown for grafs, and no future
alteration to be made in it.
His eftate at Corfcombe and other parts of this
county, with the whole of his fortune, a very few
legacies excepted, he bequeathed to his friend and
fellow-traveller Thomas Brand , efq; of the Hide,
Effex.
